at the airport. An editorial change is 

made by removing reference to Class E 

surface airspace entered in error. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, March 

7, 2013. 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 October 9, 2012, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to modify controlled airspace at 

Savoonga, AK (77 FR 61304). 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 7400.9W dated August 8, 2012, 

and effective September 15, 2012, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designation 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 E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface, 

at Savoonga Airport, Savoonga, AK, to 

accommodate aircraft using the new 

RNAV (GPS) standard instrument 

approach procedures at Savoonga 

Airport, and enhances the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

operations at the airport. The reference 

to Class E surface airspace is removed 

as it was entered in error. 

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 modifies 

controlled airspace at Savoonga Airport, 

Savoonga, AK. Except for editorial 

changes and change noted above, this 

rule is the same as published in the 

NPRM. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On July 18, 2012, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 

Class E airspace in the Wilkes-Barre, 

PA, area by creating controlled airspace 

at Wilkes-Barre/Wyoming Valley 

Airport, Wilkes-Barre, PA (77 FR 

42228). Interested parties were invited 

to participate in this rulemaking effort 

by submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. One positive 

comment was received. Subsequent to 

publication the FAA found that the 

BARTY LOM navigation aid was 

decommissioned and, therefore, is being 

removed from the Class E airspace 

designation of Class E airspace 

designated as an extension. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6004 and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9W 

dated August 8, 2012, and effective 

September 15, 2012, 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. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends Class E airspace in the WilkesBarre, PA, area by creating controlled 

airspace extending upward form 700 

feet above the surface at Wilkes-Barre/ 

Wyoming Valley Airport to support the 

new RNAV standard instrument 

approach procedures for the airport. 

Additionally, the BARTY LOM has been 

decommissioned, and is removed from 

the Class E airspace designated as an 

extension to Class D surface area and 

the Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface. These 

modifications are necessary for the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations in the Wilkes-Barre, PA, area. 

Also, the heliport formerly known as 

Fire Station Helipad at Mercy Hospital 

is renamed Hanover Township Fire 

Station #5 Heliport. Except for editorial 

changes and the changes listed above, 

this rule is the same as that proposed in 

the NPRM. 

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 the 

Wilkes-Barre, PA area. 

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
