18104 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 59 / Tuesday, March 27, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

6005 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 

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 

establish Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to support new standard instrument 

approach procedures developed at 

Piseco Airport, Piseco, NY. This action 

also adjusts the geographic coordinates 

of the airport to be in concert with the 

FAAs aeronautical database. This 

enhances the safety and management of 

IFR operations at the airport. Except for 

the changes noted above, this action is 

the same as that proposed in the NPRM. 

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 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 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 Class E airspace at Piseco 

Airport, Piseco, NY.

Amendment of Restricted Areas R– 

5801 and R–5803; Chambersburg, PA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action makes a minor 

editorial change to the time of 

designation for restricted areas R–5801 

and R–5803, Chambersburg, PA, to 

remove the abbreviation ‘‘EST.’’ This 

amendment does not change the 

dimensions of, or activities conducted 

within, the restricted areas. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, May 31, 

2012.

Administration, 800 Independence 

Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591; 

telephone: (202) 267–8783. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The time of designation for R–5801 

and R–5803 currently reads ‘‘0800 to 

1600 EST, Monday–Friday.’’ Since these 

restricted areas lie completely within 

the Eastern Time zone, it is unnecessary 

to specify ‘‘EST’’ in the descriptions. 

The hours 0800 to 1600 are in effect 

year round regardless of time of year. 

The use of ‘‘EST’’ in the current 

description leads to confusion about the 

time of designation during that part of 

the year when daylight saving time is in 

effect. The intended time of designation 

for the restricted areas is 0800–1600 

local time during both standard time 

and daylight time periods. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 73 to 

remove ‘‘EST’’ from the time of 

designation in the descriptions of 

restricted areas R–5801 and R–5803, 

Chambersburg, PA. The time of 

designation is amended to read ‘‘0800 to 

1600 local time, Monday–Friday.’’ This 

change does not alter the current usage 

of the restricted areas. 

Accordingly, since this action is an 

administrative change, and does not 

alter the dimensions or utilization of the 

restricted areas, I find that notice and 

public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) 

are unnecessary. 

Section 73.58 of Title 14 CFR part 73 

was republished in FAA Order 7400.8U, 

effective February 16, 2012. 

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 Department of 

Transportation (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

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,

This rulemaking is promulgated 

under the authority described in

40103. Under that section, the FAA is 

charged with prescribing regulations to 

assign the use of the 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 airspace descriptions to keep 

them current. 

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 

311d. This action updates the technical 

description of special use airspace that 

does not alter the dimensions, altitudes, 

or use of the airspace. It is not expected 

to cause any potentially significant 

environmental impacts, and no 

extraordinary circumstances exist that 

warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Trent River, New Bern, NC 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation 

from regulations. 

SUMMARY: The Commander, Fifth Coast 

Guard District, has issued a temporary 

deviation from the regulation governing 

the operation of the US 70 Alfred 

Cunningham Bridge across the Trent 

River, mile 0.0, at New Bern, NC. The 

deviation is necessary to accommodate 

cyclists in the ‘‘Cyclist Goin Coastal’’ 

charity event. This deviation allows the 

bridge to remain in the closed position 

for one-half hour to ensure safe passage 

for the cyclists. 

DATES: This deviation is effective from 

8 a.m. through 8:30 a.m. on May 5, 

2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NC 

Coastal Land Trust ‘‘Cyclist Goin 

Coastal’’ Ride Committee on behalf of 

the North Carolina Department of 

Transportation has requested a 

temporary deviation from the current 

operating regulation of the US 70 Alfred 

Cunningham Bascule Bridge across the 

Trent River, mile 0.0, at New Bern, NC. 

The route of the cycle ride crosses the 

bridge and the requested deviation is to 

accommodate a safe and efficient 

passage across the bridge for the 

cyclists. To facilitate this event, the 

draw of the bridge will be maintained in 

the closed-to-navigation position for 

one-half hour; from 8 a.m. until 

8:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 5, 2012. 

The vertical clearance for this bridge 

in the closed position is 14 feet at Mean 

High Water and unlimited in the open 

position. The operating regulations are 

set forth in 33 CFR 117.843(a) which 

states that during this time period the 

bridge shall open on signal. 

Vessels that can pass through the 

bridge in the closed position may do so 

at any time. The Coast Guard will 

inform the waterway users of the 

closure through our Local Notice to 

Mariners and other appropriate local 

media to minimize any impact caused 

by the temporary deviation. The bridge 

will be able to open for emergencies. 

Most vessel traffic utilizing this bridge 

consists of recreational boaters. This 

closure is for a small duration of time, 

therefore, only a small number of 

boaters may be affected by the 

temporary closure. There are no 

alternate routes to the Neuse River from 

the Trent River. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the designated time period. This 

deviation from the operating regulations 

is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. 

Dated: February 29, 2012.

Bridge Program Manager, Fifth Coast Guard 

District.
