14 CFR Part 71 

[Docket No. FAA–2012–1174; Airspace 

Docket No. 12–AAL–12] 

Modification of Class D and E 

Airspace; Kenai, AK 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class D 

and E airspace at Kenai Municipal 

Airport, Kenai, AK. Controlled airspace 

is necessary to accommodate aircraft 

using the new Area Navigation (RNAV) 

Global Positioning System (GPS) 

standard instrument approach 

procedures at the airport. A minor 

adjustment is made to the geographic 

coordinates of the airport. Additionally, 

language establishing dates and times of 

use of the procedures was inadvertently 

omitted from the description for the 

Class E airspace designated as an 

extension, and is included in this rule. 

This action, initiated by the biennial 

review of the Kenai airspace area, 

enhances the safety and management of 

aircraft operations at the airport. 

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 

revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 

publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On June 10, 2013, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 211 / Thursday, October 31, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 65209 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify 

controlled airspace at Kenai Municipal 

Airport, Kenai, AK (78 FR 34609). 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. Subsequent to 

publication, the FAA found that the text 

regarding operating hours established by 

NOTAM was omitted from Class E 

airspace designated as an extension to a 

Class D surface area. This action 

includes the NOTAM information. 

Class D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

5000, 6002 and 6004, respectively, of 

FAA Order 7400.9X dated August 7, 

2013, and effective September 15, 2013, 

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 this Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

modifying Class D airspace, Class E 

surface airspace and Class E airspace 

designated as an extension to Class D 

surface area, at Kenai Municipal 

Airport, Kenai, AK. Also, the geographic 

coordinates of the airport are updated to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. The FAAs biennial review 

found modification of the airspace 

necessary for the safety and 

management of aircraft departing and 

arriving under IFR operations at the 

airport. The Class D airspace and Class 

E surface area airspace excluded below 

1100 feet MSL beyond 4 miles from the 

airport is decreased, and the segment of 

the Class E airspace designated as an 

extension extending to 10.2 miles 

northeast of the airport is adjusted to 

coincide with the dimensions of the 

cutout. Also, this action adds the text 

specifying the operating hours 

established in advance by NOTAM in 

the airspace description for Class E 

airspace designated as an extension to 

Class D or E surface area. 

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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified 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 

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 the Kenai 

Municipal Airport, Kenai, AK. 

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.
