Amendment of Class C Airspace; Flint, 

MI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the legal 

description of the Bishop International 

Airport, Flint, MI, Class C airspace area 

by amending the airport reference point 

(ARP) information for the airport. This 

amendment is necessitated by the 

removal of Runway 5/23 and 

installation of a parallel taxiway along 

a portion of Runway 9/27, which 

changed the configuration of the airport 

and, consequently, changed the ARP. 

This action is necessary for the safety of 

aircraft operating in the Flint, MI, 

airspace area. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, 

September 23, 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 

In the autumn of 2009, a major 

construction project at Bishop 

International Airport, Flint, MI, was 

completed that entailed removing 

Runway 5/23, which was not an 

operating runway, and installing a 

‘‘south parallel’’ taxiway along the 

eastern portion of Runway 9/27. Prior to 

construction, airport runway 

configuration made it possible for 

aircraft to mistake the 3,900 foot 

Runway 23 for the 7,200 foot Runway 

27. There was also no capability for an 

aircraft to taxi to the approach end of 

Runway 27 from the south side of the 

airport without either back taxiing on 

the runway or crossing the runway and 

taxiing on the north side parallel to the 

approach end. As a result of the runway 

removal and taxiway installation, the 

airport layout changed enough to affect 

the ARP location, which defines the 

Class C airspace area’s center point. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) part 71 by 

amending the ARP information 

contained in the legal description of the 

Bishop International Airport, Flint, MI, 

Class C airspace area to reflect current 

National Airspace System data. The 

correct ARP information, which the 

Class C airspace area is centered around, 

is latitude 42°57′56′′ N., longitude 

83°44′41′′ W. Although the construction 

project affected the ARP, there are no 

other changes to the dimensions or 

altitudes of the Class C airspace area. 

Therefore, notice and public comment 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. 

Class C airspace areas are published 

in paragraph 4000 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 C airspace area 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. 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 

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 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 Class C airspace at Bishop 

International Airport, Flint, MI.

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.

Airspace; Yuma, AZ 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action will modify 

existing Class D and Class E airspace in 

the Yuma, AZ, area to accommodate 

aircraft arriving and departing Somerton 

Airport, Somerton, AZ. This action will 

also make a minor correction to the legal 

description for Somerton Airport and 

Yuma MCAS-Yuma International 

Airport and will enhance the safety and 

management of aircraft operations at 

both airports.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On March 25, 2010, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to 

modify Class D and E airspace at Yuma, 

AZ (75 FR 14382). 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 and E airspace designations 

are published in paragraph 5000 and 

6002 respectively, 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. The Class D and E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in that 

Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

modifying Class D airspace, and Class E 

airspace designated as surface area in 

the Yuma, AZ, area. The Yuma MCASYuma International Airport airspace 

area will be modified to ensure the 

containment of aircraft arriving and 

departing Somerton Airport, Somerton, 

AZ. This action enhances the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

operations in the Yuma, AZ, area. This 

action will also make a minor correction 

to the legal description for both Class D 

and E airspace to coincide FAA’s 

National Aeronautical Charting Office. 

The FAA has determined 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 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 

discusses 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 Yuma, AZ.
