Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Albany, OR 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

airspace at Albany Municipal Airport, 

Albany, OR. Advances in Global 

Positioning System (GPS) mapping 

accuracy and a reliance on precise 

geographic coordinates to define airport 

and airspace reference points have made 

this airspace redesign necessary for the 

safety and management of Instrument 

Flight Rules (IFR) operations. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, January 5, 

2017. 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 

7400.11 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

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 modifies 

controlled airspace at Albany Municipal 

Airport, Albany, OR. 

History 

On August 15, 2016, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to modify Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Albany Municipal Airport, Albany, 

OR (81 FR 53964) Docket No. FAA– 

2015–3992. Interested parties were 

invited to participate in this rulemaking 

effort by submitting written comments 

on the proposal to the FAA. On August 

29, 2016, the FAA received a request 

from Mr. Charles West for a pictorial 

overlay of the airspace proposal. On 

September 6, 2016, the FAA provided a 

diagram of the proposed changes via 

email to Mr. West and also to Senator 

Jeff Merkley, Mitch T. Swecker of the 

Oregon Department of Aviation, and to 

Mary Rosenblum of the Oregon Pilots 

Association. No other comments were 

received. 

Class D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

5000, 6002, 6004, and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11A, 

dated August 3, 2016, and effective 

September 15, 2016, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 


rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 214 / Friday, November 4, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 76855 

part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designation listed in this document will 

be published subsequently in the Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.11A, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, 

and effective September 15, 2016. FAA 

Order 7400.11A is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

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 Albany Municipal Airport, Albany, 

OR. Controlled airspace extends to 

within a 6.7-mile radius of the airport to 

accommodate IFR departures up to 

1,200 feet above the surface; includes a 

small extension to the southwest to 

accommodate IFR arrivals below 1,500 

feet above the surface; and the segment 

east of longitude 123° is removed, as 

there are no IFR operations within that 

area. These modifications are necessary 

for the safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport, while 

preserving the navigable airspace for 

aviation. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, 

and effective September 15, 2016, 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. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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 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. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures’’, 

paragraph 5–6.5a. 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.

Amendment of Class D and Class E 

Airspace; Eugene, OR, and Corvallis,

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

airspace designated as an extension, and 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Mahlon 

Sweet Field Airport, Eugene, OR, to 

accommodate airspace redesign for the 

safety and management of Instrument 

Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the 

airport. Corvallis Municipal Airport is 

removed from the Mahlon Sweet Field 

Airport regulatory text by creating a 

stand-alone airspace designation for the 

airport. Additionally, this action 

updates the airport reference points for 

these airports in Class D and E airspace, 

as well as removes the Notice to Airmen 

(NOTAM) requirement noted in Class E 

surface area airspace.
