Docket No. 11–ANM–16] 

Amendment of Class D and Class E 

Airspace, and Establishment of Class 

E Airspace; Bozeman, MT 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class D 

and Class E airspace at Bozeman, 

Gallatin Field Airport, Bozeman, MT, to 

accommodate aircraft using Instrument 

Landing System (ILS) Localizer (LOC) 

standard instrument approach 

procedures at Bozeman, Gallatin Field 

Airport. This action also establishes 

Class E En Route Domestic airspace to 

facilitate vectoring of Instrument Flight 

Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. 

This action, initiated by the biennial 

review of the Bozeman airspace area, 

enhances the safety and management of 

aircraft operations at the airport. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, May 

31, 2012. 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 November 16, 2011, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 

and establish controlled airspace at 

Bozeman, MT (76 FR 70919). 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 D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

5000, 6005 and 6006, respectively, 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 D and Class E 

airspace designations listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in that Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

modifying Class D airspace, and Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Bozeman, 

Gallatin Field Airport, Bozeman, MT. 

Additional controlled airspace is 

necessary to accommodate aircraft using 

the ILS LOC standard instrument 

approach procedures at the airport. 

Also, this action establishes Class E En 

Route Domestic airspace extending 

upward from 1,200 feet above the 

surface to allow vectoring IFR aircraft 

from En Route airspace to the airport. 

The FAA has determined 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 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 

discusses 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 creates 

additional controlled airspace at 

Bozeman, Gallatin Field Airport, 

Bozeman, MT.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This technical amendment

subsequently delayed in the Federal 

Register of June 16, 2011; and 

announced with a new effective date in 

the Federal Register of December 9,

History 

On April 28, 2011, the FAA published 

a final rule in the Federal Register, 

Docket No. FAA–2011–0010, Airspace 

Docket No. 11–AAL–1, that amended 

Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

part 71 by amending all Federal airways 

affected by the relocation of the 

Anchorage VOR navigation aid, (76 FR 

23687). Subsequent to that rule, the 

FAA published in the Federal Register 

of June 16, 2011, a rule delaying the 

effective date (76 FR 35097), and then 

published in the Federal Register of 

December 9, 2011, a rule announcing 

the new effective date (76 FR 76891). In 

that rule, the route description for V– 

388 was published in an east to west 

direction in error. The correct direction 

for the route description for V–388 is 

west to east. 

Amendment to Final Rule 

Accordingly, pursuant to the 

authority delegated to me, the legal 

descriptions for V–388 for Airspace 

Docket No. FAA–2011–0010, Airspace 

Docket No. 11–AAL–1, as published in 

the Federal Register on April 28, 2011 

(76 FR 23687), is corrected as follows: 

■ On page 23688, column 2, lines 10 

and 11, amend the V–388 description to 

read: 

§ 71.1 [Amended] 

* * * * * 

‘‘From Kenai, AK; INT Kenai 067°and 

Anchorage, AK, 208° radials; to 

Anchorage.’’ instead of ‘‘From 

Anchorage, AK, to INT Anchorage 

208°and Kenai, AK, 067° Kenai, AK.’’

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Colorado Springs, CO 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

airspace at City of Colorado Springs 

Municipal Airport, Colorado Springs, 

CO. Decommissioning of the Black 

Forest Tactical Air Navigation System 

(TACAN) has made this action 

necessary for the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport. This 

action also adjusts the geographic 

coordinates of the airport. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, May 

31, 2012. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On November 16, 2011, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 

controlled airspace at Colorado Springs, 

CO (76 FR 70920). 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 6003, 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 that Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

amending Class E airspace designated as 

an extension to Class C airspace area for 

the City of Colorado Springs Municipal 

Airport, Colorado Springs, CO. Airspace 

reconfiguration is necessary due to the 

decommissioning of the Black Forest 

TACAN. Also, the geographic 

coordinates of the airport will be 

updated to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. This action is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations. 

The FAA has determined 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

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it
