Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 138 / Tuesday, July 19, 2016 / Proposed Rules 46851 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 by modifying class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Napa County 

Airport, Napa, CA, by removing an 

irregular shaped area located 

approximately 20 miles southwest of the 

airport. This airspace area is 

discontinuous from the airspace 

surrounding Napa County Airport and is 

not necessary to support IFR operations. 

This proposal also would update the 

airport geographic coordinates to lat. 

38°12′48′′ N., long. 122°16′51′′ W., to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 

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 designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

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 will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this 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. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

Proposed Establishment of Temporary 

Restricted Areas R–2509E, R–2509W, 

and R–2509N; Twentynine Palms, CA; 

Withdrawal 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM); withdrawal. 

SUMMARY: This action withdraws the 

NPRM published in the Federal 

Register of March 30, 2016, proposing to 

establish temporary restricted areas R– 

2509E, R–2509W, and R–2509N, 

Twentynine Palms, CA. The FAA has 

determined that withdrawal of that 

NPRM is warranted due to aeronautical 

impacts associated with the proposed 

action. 

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, July 

19, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

An NPRM was published in the 

Federal Register of March 30, 2016 (81 

FR 17619), to establish new temporary 

restricted areas R–2509E, R–2509W, and 

R–2509N to accommodate a United 

States Marine Corps (USMC) Large Scale 

Exercise (LSE) on new Twentynine 

Palms lands planned for August 1 to 

August 18, 2016. The proposed new 

temporary restricted areas would 

support live fire activities including 

anti-tank weapons, mortars, and 

artillery, as well as Unmanned Aircraft 

Systems, fixed wing, and rotary wing 

training activities conducting close air 

support and live ordnance delivery. 

Efforts to mitigate the aeronautical 

impacts associated with the proposed 

action have been unsuccessful and there 

is no longer sufficient time remaining to 

complete the actions required to process 

the airspace proposal in time for the 

August 1, 2016, exercise start date. 

Therefore, the NPRM is being 

withdrawn.

published in the Federal Register of 

March 30, 2016 (81 FR 17619) (FR Doc.
