SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

The Baton Rouge Airport Air Traffic 

Control Tower has submitted a request 

to change the name and facility 

identifier of the Baton Rouge, LA, 

VORTAC (BTR), to Fighting Tiger 

VORTAC (LSU). The request is 

prompted by the distance of the 

VORTAC, which is located 8 miles 

outside the boundary of Baton Rouge 

Metropolitan Airport, Ryan Field. FAA 

Order 7350.9A, Location Identifiers, 

states in part that the navigation aid 

must be within the airport boundary in 

order to share the same identifier. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9Y dated August 6, 2014, 

and effective September 15, 2014, 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 the 

Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.9Y, airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, 

and effective September 15, 2014. FAA 

Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

final rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists 

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

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends Class E airspace designated as 

an extension to a Class C surface area at 

Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, Ryan 

Field, Baton Rouge, LA. The name of the 

Baton Rouge VORTAC navigation aid is 

changed to the Fighting Tiger VORTAC, 

and the facility identifier is changed 

from (BTR) to (LSU). This rule is meant 

to ensure pilots do not confuse 

instructions provided to them by Air 

Traffic Control. 

This is an administrative change and 

does not affect the boundaries, altitudes, 

or operating requirements of the 

airspace, therefore, notice and public 

procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is 

unnecessary. 

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. 

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 changes the 

identifier and name of the Baton Rouge 

VORTAC, at Baton Rouge Metropolitan 

Airport, Baton Rouge, LA. 

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

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Manchester, NH 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

Airspace at Manchester, NH, as a new 

approach procedure has been 

developed, requiring airspace redesign 

at Manchester Airport. This enhances 

the safety and management of 

instrument flight rules (IFR) operations 

at the airport. This action also updates 

the geographic coordinates of the 

airport. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, June 25,

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under title 1, Code of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On October 16, 2014, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class E airspace at Manchester 

Airport, Manchester, NH, (79 FR 62079). 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. One anonymous, 

positive comment was received. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6003 of FAA 

Order 7400.9Y dated August 6, 2014, 

and effective September 15, 2014, 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 the 

Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.9Y, airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, 

and effective September 15, 2014. FAA 

Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

final rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists 

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

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends Class E airspace designated as 

an extension to Class C surface area, at 

Manchester Airport, Manchester, NH. 

Airspace reconfiguration extending from 

the 5-mile radius of the airport to 8.5- 

miles northwest of the airport is 

necessary due to the development of the 

RNAV (RNP) Z RWY 17 approach, and 

for continued safety and management of 

IFR operations at the airport. Also, the 

geographic coordinates of Manchester 

Airport are adjusted to coincide with 

the FAAs aeronautical database. An 

editorial change is made to correct the 

title of paragraph 6003 of FAA Order 

7400.9Y, to read ‘‘Class E Airspace 

Designated as an Extension to a Class C 

Surface area’’. 

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

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 Manchester 

Airport, Manchester, NH. 

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
