Docket No. 12–AEA–9] 

Amendment of Class D and Class E 

Airspace; Lakehurst, NJ 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule, technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action changes the name 

of the airport associated with the Class 

D and Class E airspace at Lakehurst, NJ. 

The airport’s name is being changed to 

Lakehurst Naval Support Activity/ 

Maxfield Field (Joint Base McGuire-DixLakehurst). The FAAs Aeronautical 

Products office requested the change to 

reflect the current airport name. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, 

September 20, 2012. 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.

Fornito, Operations Support Group,

Administration, P.O. Box 20636,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

changes the name of the airport 

associated with the Class D airspace and 

Class E airspace designated as an 

extension to a Class D airspace, at 

Lakehurst, NJ. The airport name is 

changed from Lakehurst Naval Air 

Experimental Center Airport/Maxfield 

Field to Lakehurst Naval Support 

Activity/Maxfield Field (Joint Base 

McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst) to be in concert 

with the FAAs aeronautical database. 

Accordingly, since this is an 

administrative change, and does not 

affect the boundaries, altitudes, or 

operating requirements of the airspace, 

notice and public procedures under 5 

U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. 

The Class D airspace, and Class E 

airspace designations are published in 

Paragraph 5000 and 6004, respectively, 

of FAA Order 7400.9V, dated August 9, 

2011, and effective September 15, 2011, 

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 

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 amends controlled airspace for the 

Lakehurst, NJ, Class D and E airspace 

area.

[Docket No. FAA–2011–1211; Airspace 

Docket No. 11–ASO–40] 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Memphis, TN 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

Airspace at Memphis, TN area, as the 

West Memphis Non-Directional Beacon 

(NDB) has been decommissioned and 

new Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures have been developed at 

Memphis International Airport. This 

action also removes West Memphis 

Municipal Airport, West Memphis, from 

the existing airspace surrounding 

Memphis International Airport, 

Memphis, TN. This action enhances the 

safety and airspace management of 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations 

at the airport. This action also makes a 

minor adjustment to the geographic 

coordinates of General DeWitt Spain 

Airport and makes a minor correction to 

the regulatory text. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, September 

20, 2012. 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: 

History 

On March 26, 2012, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class E airspace at Memphis, 

TN (77 FR 17360). 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 E 

airspace designations are published in 

paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9V 

dated August 9, 2011, and effective 

September 15, 2011, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

Except for a minor clerical change in the 

regulatory text correcting ‘NDB’ to 

‘‘Airport’’, this rule is the same as 

published in the NPRM. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Memphis, TN. Airspace 

reconfiguration is necessary due to the 

decommissioning of the West Memphis 

NDB and cancellation of the NDB 

approach, and for continued safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. Also, West Memphis Municipal 

Airport, West Memphis, AR, is removed 

from the Memphis, TN, airspace 

designation to accommodate the 

separation of existing Class E airspace 

surrounding Memphis International 

Airport, Memphis, TN. The 

establishment of the new designator for 

the Class E airspace area surrounding 

West Memphis Municipal Airport, West 

Memphis, AR, is simultaneously 

coordinated with this action. This 

action also adjusts the geographic 

coordinates of General DeWitt Spain 

Airport to be in concert with the FAAs 

aeronautical database, and corrects 

‘NDB’ to read ‘Airport’ in the regulatory 

text. 

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 amends controlled airspace in 

Memphis, TN. 

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.
