AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Taos Regional 

Airport, Taos, NM. Decommissioning of 

non-directional radio beacon (NDB) and 

cancellation of the NDB approaches due 

to advances in Global Positioning 

System (GPS) capabilities have made 

this action necessary for the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations at Taos Regional 

Airport. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, January 5, 

2017. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under Title 1, Code of

the annual revision of FAA Order 

7400.9 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

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. 


sradovich on DSK3TPTVN1PROD with RULES
34880 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 105 / Wednesday, June 1, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

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 would 

amend Class E airspace at Taos Regional 

Airport, Taos, NM. 

History 

On March 7, 2016, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Taos 

Regional Airport, Taos, NM (81 FR 

11695). Interested parties were invited 

to participate in this rulemaking effort 

by submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. One comment was 

received from Mr. Robert Pigott, 

Aeronautical Information Services, 

requesting clarification of the 

overlapping 1,200 foot airspace to the 

west of Taos Regional Airport. This 

airspace existed prior to the proposed 

amendment and was not changed by the 

amendment. The 1,200 foot airspace 

exists to protect the departures and 

climb out requirements to the west due 

to high terrain east of the airport and 

allows departing aircraft to reach 

controlled airspace, and was developed 

in accordance with FAA Joint Order 

7400.2K, Procedures for Handling 

Airspace Matters. The FAA found no 

reason to change the 1,200 foot airspace 

at this time. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015, 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. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.9Z, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015. FAA 

Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

modifies Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Taos Regional Airport, Taos, NM. 

After review, the FAA found that with 

the decommissioning of NDBs, removal 

of NDB approaches, and 

implementation of area navigation 

(RNAV) instrument approaches the 

extension to the northwest from the 6.5- 

mile radius to 9.4 miles of the Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface was no longer 

requires in accordance with airspace 

requirements specified in FAA Joint 

Order 7400.2K. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 5–6.5.a. 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.
