SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On December 2, 2013, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to modify Class D airspace and Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface by changing the 

airport name and amending the 

geographic coordinates of Henry E. 

Rohlsen Airport, Christiansted, St. 

Croix, VI, to bring it in concert with the 

FAAs aeronautical database (78 FR 

72056). 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 E airspace designations 

are published in paragraphs 5000, and 

6005, respectively of FAA Order 

7400.9X dated August 7, 2013, and 

effective September 15, 2013, 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 the 

Order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

modifies Class D airspace and Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface airspace by 

amending the geographic coordinates of 

Henry E. Rohlsen Airport, Christiansted, 

St. Croix, VI, to bring it in concert with 

the FAAs aeronautical database. The 

coordinates are changed from (lat. 

17°42′07′′ N., long. 64°47′55′′ W.) to (lat. 

17°42′06′′ N., long. 64°48′06′′ W.). Also, 

the airport formerly called Alexander 

Hamilton Airport is changed to Henry E. 

Rohlsen 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, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. It, therefore, (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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does 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 United States Code. 

Subtitle I, 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 Henry E. Rohlsen 

Airport, Christiansted, St. Croix, VI. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

McMinnville, TN 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

Airspace at McMinnville, TN, as the 

Warri Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) 

has been decommissioned and new 

standard instrument approach 

procedures developed for Instrument 

Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Warren 

County Memorial Airport. This 

enhances the safety and management of 

aircraft operations at the airport. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, April 3,

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under title 1, Code of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On September 24, 2013, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class E airspace at Warren 

County Memorial Airport, McMinnville, 

TN. (78 FR 58489). 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 7400.9X dated August 7, 2013, 

and effective September 15, 2013, 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 amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 7.2-mile radius of Warren 

County Memorial Airport, McMinnville, 

TN. Airspace reconfiguration is 

necessary due to the decommissioning 

of the Warri NDB and cancellation of 

the NDB approach, and for continued 

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, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. It, therefore, (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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does 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 United States Code. 

Subtitle I, 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 Warren County 

Memorial Airport, McMinnville, TN. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’
