Airspace; Lake Charles, LA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule, technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

and Class E airspace within the Lake 

Charles, LA, area by updating the 

geographic coordinates for Lake Charles 

Regional Airport, and the airport name 

and geographic coordinates for 

Chennault International Airport, 

formerly known as Chennault Industrial 

Airpark. This action does not change the 

boundaries or operating requirements of 

the airspace. 

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, 

February 6, 2014. The Director of the 

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under 

1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

adjusting the geographic coordinates, 

within the Class D and Class E airspace 

areas, of Lake Charles Regional Airport, 

Lake Charles, LA, and Chennault 

International Airport, formally known 

as Chennault Industrial Airpark, Lake 

Charles, LA, to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. An 

administrative correction also is made 

to the spelling of the Southland Field, 

Sulphur, LA, navigation aid from 

Sulphy NDB to Sulphur NDB. This is an 

administrative change and does not 

affect the boundaries, altitudes, or 

operating requirements of the airspace, 

therefore, notice and public procedures 

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

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 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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does 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, 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 the Lake Charles, 

LA area.
