[Docket No. FAA–2011–0785; Airspace 

Docket No. 11–AEA–20] 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Luray, VA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

Airspace at Luray, VA, to accommodate 

the new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global 

Positioning System (GPS) Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

serving Luray Caverns Airport. This 

action enhances the safety and airspace 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations within the National 

Airspace System. This action also makes 

a minor adjustment to the geographic 

coordinates of the airport. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 9, 

2012. 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 

7400.9 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On August 22, 2011, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 

Class E airspace at Luray, VA (76 FR 

52292). 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 

geographic coordinates of the airport 

needed to be adjusted. This action 

makes that adjustment. Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

6005 of FAA Order 7400.9V dated 

August 9, 2011, and effective September 

15, 2011, 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 extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Luray, VA, to provide the controlled 

airspace required to accommodate the 

new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global 

Positioning System (GPS) Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

developed for Luray Caverns Airport. 

This action also adjusts the geographic 

coordinates of the airport to be in 

concert with the FAAs aeronautical 

database. This action is necessary for 

the safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. 

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 at Luray 

Caverns Airport, Luray, VA.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation 

from regulations. 

SUMMARY: The Commander, Thirteenth 

Coast Guard District, has issued a 

temporary deviation from the regulation 

governing the operation of the South 

11th Street (‘‘Murray Morgan’’) Bridge 

across City Waterway also known as the 

Thea Foss Waterway, mile 0.6, at 

Tacoma, WA. The deviation is necessary 

to perform extensive maintenance and 

repair work on the bridge, including but 

not limited to removal and replacement 

of the roadway surface and the 

underlying steel stringer substructure as 

part a major bridge rehabilitation 

project. This deviation allows the bridge 

to remain in the closed position during 

construction activities.This deviation is 

effective from 8 a.m. on November 14, 

2011 through 6 p.m. April 30, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The City 

of Tacoma has requested to place the 

South 11th Street ‘‘Murray Morgan’’ 

Bridge in the closed or down position 

and to not open the bridge for vessel 

traffic to facilitate a major rehabilitation 

project on the bridge. The South 11th 

Street Bridge crosses City Waterway 

mile 0.6 at Tacoma, WA. The South 

11th Street Bridge is also known as the 

Murray Morgan Bridge and City 

Waterway is also known as Thea Foss 

Waterway. The South 11th Street Bridge 

is a vertical lift bridge. During this 

deviation the bridge will be placed in 

the close or down position. There will 

be a debris containment system attached 

to the underside of the bridge for the 

duration of construction activities. A 

minimum vertical clearance of 57 feet 

above mean high water will be provided 

beneath the bridge and the attached 

debris containment system, at all time 

during the deviation period. Vessels 

which do not require a bridge opening 

may continue to transit beneath the 

bridge during this closure period. Under 

normal operations the bridge operates 

under 33 CFR 117.1061 which requires 

a two hour notice for an opening and 

allows the bridge to not open during 

morning and afternoon rush hours. This 

current deviation states the lift span of 

the 11th Street South Bridge (Murray 

Morgan Bridge) across City Waterway 

(Thea Foss Waterway), mile 0.6, need 

not open from 8 a.m. November 14, 

2011 through 6 p.m. April 30, 2012; 

except as otherwise outlined in this 

article and through ongoing 

coordination with waterway users. The 

bridge will be able to open during this 

maintenance period for emergent 

situations provided 12 hours of advance 

notification of an opening is given. The 

bridge will be placed in the open 

position: November 24–27, 2011; 

December 24, 2011 through January 1, 

2012, and either April 14–15, 2012 or 

April 21–22, 2012, to be coordinated 

with the local waterway users. The 

bridge will also be opened during an 

additional weekend in January, 

February, and March to be determined 

in coordination with local waterway 

users. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the designated time period. This 

deviation from the operating regulations 

is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. 

Dated: November 14, 2011.

Bridge Administrator.
