Amendment of Class E Airspace; Monee, IL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace at Monee, IL. Additional 
controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate Area Navigation (RNAV) 
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) at Bult Field Airport, 
Monee, IL. This action also reflects the name change of the airport 
from Sanger Airport and updates the geographic coordinates to coincide 
with the FAA's National Aerospace Charting Office. The FAA is taking 
this action to enhance the safety and management of Instrument Flight 
Rule (IFR) operations at Bult Field Airport.

DATES: 0901 UTC, October 22, 2009. The Director of the Federal Register 
approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 
subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of 
conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On May 19, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice 
of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace at Monee, IL, adding 
additional controlled airspace at Bult Field Airport, Monee, IL (74 FR 
23370, Docket No. FAA-2008-1314). Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E airspace 
designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9S 
signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31, 2008, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR Part 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 at Monee, IL, adding additional controlled airspace 
at Bult Field Airport, Monee, IL, for the safety and management of IFR 
operations. It also reflects the name change of the airport from Sanger 
Airport and updates the geographic coordinates to coincide with the 
FAA's National Aerospace Charting Office.
    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 adds additional 
controlled airspace at Bult Field Airport, Monee, IL.
