SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On January 25, 2010, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 

Class E airspace for Killeen, TX, 

reconfiguring controlled airspace at 

Skylark Field Airport (75 FR 3877) 

Docket No. FAA–2009–0928. 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 7400.9T 

signed August 27, 2009, and effective 

September 15, 2009, 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 for the 

Killeen, TX area, adding additional 

controlled airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface to 

accommodate SIAPs at Skylark Field 

Airport, and changing the airport′s name 

from Killeen Municipal Airport. 

Adjustments to the geographic 

coordinates and reclassification of the 

Iresh Nondirectional Radio Beacon 

(NDB) to the Iresh Locator Outer Marker 

(LOM) also will be made in accordance 

with the FAA’s National Aeronautical 

Charting Office. With the exception of 

these changes, this action is the same as 

that published in the NPRM. This action 

is necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

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 Skylark Field 

Airport, Killeen, TX.
