management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport. This 

action also amends the geographic 

coordinates of the Class D airspace area 

at the airport. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On June 14, 2010, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to amend 

controlled airspace at Troutdale, OR (75 

FR 33557). 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 D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

5000 and 6002, respectively, of FAA 

Order 7400.9U dated August 18, 2010, 

and effective September 15, 2010, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

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 surface airspace at 

Portland-Troutdale Airport, to 

accommodate IFR aircraft executing 

NDB (GPS) SIAPs at the airport. This 

action is necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations. The 

geographic coordinates of the existing 

Class D airspace will be updated to 

coincide with the FAA’s National 

Aeronautical Navigation Services. 

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 

additional controlled airspace at 

Portland-Troutdale Airport, Troutdale, 

OR.
