14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2009-1134; Airspace Docket No. 09-ANM-25]

 
Establishment of Class E Airspace; Lucin, UT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action will establish Class E airspace at Lucin VHF Omni-
Directional Radio Range Tactical Air Navigational Aid (VORTAC), Lucin, 
UT, to facilitate vectoring of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) traffic 
from en route airspace to Salt Lake City, UT. This will improve the 
safety and management of IFR operations for the Salt Lake City, UT 
area.

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, September 23, 2010. 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 March 25, 2010, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to establish controlled airspace at 
Lucin, UT (75 FR 14383). 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 6006 of 
FAA Order 7400.9T signed August 27, 2009, and effective September 15, 
2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class 
E airspace designations 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 establishing Class E en route domestic airspace 1,200 feet 
above the surface, at the Lucin, UT VORTAC, to accommodate the 
management of IFR operations by vectoring IFR aircraft from en route 
airspace to Salt Lake City, UT. This action enhances the safety of the 
National Airspace System.
    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 establishes 
controlled airspace in the Lucin, UT area.
