Persons interested in being placed on 

a mailing list for future NPRM’s should 

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, to request a copy of 

Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking distribution 

System, which describes the application 

procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface to support 

new standard instrument approach 

procedures developed at Memphis 

International Airport, Memphis, TN. 

Airspace reconfiguration is necessary 

due to the decommissioning of the West 

Memphis NDB and cancellation of the 

NDB approach, and for continued safety 

and management of IFR operations at 

the airport. Also, West Memphis 

Municipal Airport, West Memphis, AR, 

would be removed from the Memphis, 

TN, airspace designation to 

accommodate the separation of existing 

Class E airspace surrounding Memphis 

International Airport, Memphis, TN. 

The establishment of the new designator 

for the controlled airspace at West 

Memphis Municipal Airport, West 

Memphis, AR, would simultaneously be 

coordinated with this action. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraph 6005 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 designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 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 will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that this 

proposed rule, when promulgated, 

would 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 proposed 

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 proposed regulation is 

within the scope of that authority as it 

would amend Class E airspace at 

Memphis International Airport, 

Memphis TN. 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class D 

airspace and Class E airspace designated 

as surface area to meet current standards 

for IFR departures and arrivals at 

Bellingham International Airport, 

Bellingham, WA. This modification 

eliminates the need for Class E airspace 

designated as an extension to a Class D 

or E surface area, and, therefore, would 

be removed. This action, initiated by a 

biennial review of the airspace, is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of aircraft departing and 

arriving under IFR operations at the 

airport. 

Class D and E airspace designations 

are published in paragraph 5000, 6002 

and 6004, respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011, and 

effective September 15, 2011, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

Part 71.1. The Class D and E airspace 

designation listed in this document will 

be published subsequently in this 

Order. 

The FAA has determined this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 

Therefore, this proposed 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
