Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 199 / Friday, October 16, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 53161 

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 Forbes Field 

Airport, Topeka, KS.

Airspace; New Orleans NAS, LA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

and Class E airspace at New Orleans 

NAS, LA. Changes in control tower 

operating hours and cancellation of the 

NDB RWY 4 instrument approach for 

Class E airspace have made this action 

necessary for the continued safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rule 

(IFR) operations at New Orleans NAS 

Alvin Callender Field. 

DATES: 0901 UTC, December 17, 2009. 

The Director of the Federal Register

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On July 31, 2009, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to amend Class D 

and Class E airspace at New Orleans 

NAS, LA (74 FR 38141, Docket No. 

FAA–2009–0405). 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 

airspace designations are published in 

paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9T 

signed August 27, 2009, and effective 

September 15, 2009, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

Part 71.1. Class E airspace designations 

are published in paragraph 6002 of FAA 

Order 7400.9T signed August 27, 2009, 

and effective September 15, 2009, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

amending Class D and Class E airspace 

at New Orleans NAS Alvin Callender 

Field, LA, for the 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. 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 New Orleans NAS
