airspace within the Saginaw, MI, area by 

changing the name of the airport from 

Tri-City International Airport to MBS

airport’s geographic coordinates. This 

action does not change the boundaries 

or operating requirements of the 

airspace. 

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, April 

5, 2012. The Director of the Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

changing the airport formerly known as 

Tri-City International Airport to MBS 

International Airport and updating the 

geographic coordinates within Class D 

airspace to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. This is an 

administrative change and does not 

affect the boundaries, altitudes, or 

operating requirements of the airspace, 

therefore, notice and public procedures 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

Section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the agency’s 

authority. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it amends 

controlled airspace at MBS International 

Airport, Saginaw, MI.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On August 10, 2011, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class E airspace for the South 

Bend, IN, area, creating additional 

controlled airspace at Jerry Tyler 

Memorial Airport (76 FR 49385) Docket 

No. FAA–2011–0250. Interested parties 

were invited to participate in this 

rulemaking effort by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

No comments were received. 

Subsequent to publication, errors was 

found in the name of the South Bend 

ILS Outer Marker and the geographic 

coordinates of the Gipper VORTAC. 

This rule will make the corrections to be 

in concert with the FAAs aeronautical 

database. Class E airspace designations 

are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9V dated August 9, 2011, 

and effective September 15, 2011, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

amending Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to accommodate new standard 

instrument approach procedures at Jerry 

Tyler Memorial Airport, Niles, IN. This 

action is necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. This action also corrects the 

name of the South Bend ILS Outer 

Marker to the Misha Outer Marker, and 

adjusts the geographic coordinates of 

the Gipper VORTAC in the airspace 

designation and regulatory text. With 

the exception of editorial changes and 

the changes described above, this action 

is the same as that proposed in the 

NPRM. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the
