Docket No. 14–ANM–11] 

Amendment of Class D and Class E 

Airspace, Revocation of Class E 

Airspace; Salem, OR 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class D 

airspace, Class E surface area airspace, 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface, and removes 

Class E surface area airspace designated 

as an extension at McNary Field, Salem, 

OR. After reviewing the airspace, the 

FAA found it necessary to increase the 

airspace areas for the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations during Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) at the airport. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, August 20, 

2015. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under title 1, Code of 

Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to 

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. 

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 establishes 

controlled airspace at McNary Field, 

Salem, OR. 

History 

On May 1, 2015, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify 

Class D airspace, Class E surface area 

airspace, Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface, 

and remove Class E surface area 

airspace designated as an extension at 

McNary Field, Salem, OR (80 FR 24858). 

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 Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

5000, 6002, 6004, and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9Y, 

dated August 6, 2014, and effective 

September 15, 2014, 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. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.9Y, airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, 

and effective September 15, 2014. FAA 

Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

final rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y 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 D airspace, Class E 

surface area airspace, Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface, and removes Class E surface 

area airspace as an extension at McNary 

Field, Salem, OR. A review of the 

airspace revealed an increase and 

reconfiguration of the airspace is needed 

for IFR operations due to cancellation of 

the Turno non-directional radio beacon 

(NDB) and cancellation of the NDB 

approach. Class D airspace and Class E 

surface area airspace extends upward 

from the surface to and including 2,700 

feet within a 4-mile radius northeast of 

McNary Field, within a 6.2-mile radius 

southeast of the airport, and within an 

8.1-mile radius southeast to northwest 

of the airport, excluding airspace within 

1.2 miles of Independence State Airport, 

OR. Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface is 

amended to within a 6.5-mile radius 

northeast of McNary Field, within an 

8.2-mile radius southeast of the airport, 

and within a 9.1-mile radius southeast 

to northwest of the airport, excluding 

airspace within 1.2 miles of 

Independence State Airport, OR. This 

action enhances the safety and 

management of controlled airspace 

within the NAS. 

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 1050.1E, ‘‘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
