[Docket No. FAA–2011–1144; Airspace 

Docket No. 11–AGL–24] 

Amendment of Class D Airspace; 

Saginaw, MI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule, technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

airspace within the Saginaw, MI, area by 

changing the name of the airport from 

Tri-City International Airport to MBS 

International Airport, and updating the 

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 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR Part 51,

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.
