Amendment of Class D and E 

Airspace, Establishment of Class E 

Airspace; Patuxent River, MD 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend the Class D and E airspace at 

Patuxent River Naval Air Station (NAS), 

Patuxent River, MD, to reflect the parttime operating status of the control 

tower and establish Class E airspace 

designated as surface areas to 

accommodate the additional airspace 

needed for the Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedures (SIAPs) 

developed for the airport. This action 

would enhance the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations at Patuxent River NAS, 

Patuxent, MD. 

DATES: 0901 UTC. Comments must be 

received on or before September 23,

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 D airspace and Class E airspace 

designated as an extension to Class D 

surface area at Patuxent River NAS, 

Patuxent River, MD, to reflect the parttime operations of the airport control 

tower, establishing in advance the dates 

and times by a Notice to Airmen, and 

establish Class E airspace designated as 

surface areas to provide controlled 

airspace required to support the SIAPs 

developed for Patuxent River NAS. 

Class D airspace designations, Class E 

surface airspace designations and Class 

E airspace designations as extensions to 

a Class D surface area are published in 

Paragraph 5000, 6002, and 6004 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9T, 

signed August 27, 2009, and effective 

September 15, 2009, 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. 

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.

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 152 / Monday, August 9, 2010 / Proposed Rules 47737 

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 D and existing Class 

E airspace and establish Class E airspace 

designated as surface areas at Patuxent 

River NAS, Patuxent River, MD.

RIN 2120–AA66 

Proposed Revocation of Colored 

Federal Airway G–4; AK 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM); withdrawal. 

SUMMARY: This action withdraws the 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 8, 2010 (75 FR 32317). In that 

action, the FAA proposed to remove 

Federal Airway Green (G–4) in Alaska. 

The FAA has determined that the 

withdrawal is warranted since the 

proposed action was based on the 

decommissioning of the Wood River 

Non-directional Beacon near the town of 

Dillingham, Alaska, which will now 

remain in service. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, August 

9, 2010. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order 7400.9 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On June 8, 2010, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register an NPRM 

proposing to remove Federal Airway G– 

4 (75 FR 32317), Docket No. FAA–2010– 

0453. A review of Alaska airspace 

revealed that numerous aircraft depend 

on G–4 to support remote communities, 

therefore the FAA has determined to 

withdraw the proposed action.
