6448 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 25 / Monday, February 8, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

eliminating the NOTAM information 

that reads, ‘‘This Class E airspace is 

effective during the specific dates and 

times established in advance by a Notice 

to Airmen. The effective date and time 

will thereafter be continuously 

published in the Airport/Facility 

Directory.’’ from the regulatory text of 

the Class E surface area airspace and 

Class E airspace designated as an 

extension to Class D, at Alpena County 

Regional Airport, Alpena, MI, and 

Muskegon County Airport, Muskegon, 

MI. Additionally, the geographic 

coordinates of the Muskegon County 

Airport are being updated to coincide 

with the FAA’s aeronautical database. 

This is an administrative change 

amending the description for the above 

Michigan airports to be in concert with 

the FAA’s aeronautical database, and 

does not affect the boundaries, or 

operating requirements of the airspace; 

therefore, notice and public procedure 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 5–6.5.a. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

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 Rochester 

International Airport, Rochester, MN 

and St. Cloud Regional Airport, St. 

Cloud, MN. 

History 

In a review of the airspace, the FAA 

found the Class E surface airspace and 

Class E airspace designated as an 

extension, for Rochester International 

Airport, Rochester, MN, and St. Cloud 

Regional Airport, St. Cloud, MN, as 

published in FAA Order 7400.9Z, 

Airspace Designations and Reporting 

Points, does not require part time status. 

This is an administrative change 

removing the part time NOTAM 

information from the legal descriptions 

for the above airports. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6002 and 6004 

of FAA Order 7400.9Z dated August 6, 

2015, and effective September 15, 2015, 

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 

7400.9Z, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015. FAA 

Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists 

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

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

eliminating the NOTAM information 

that reads, ‘‘This Class E airspace is 

effective during the specific dates and 

times established in advance by a Notice 

to Airmen. The effective date and time 

will thereafter be continuously 

published in the Airport/Facility 

Directory.’’ from the regulatory text of 

Class E surface area airspace and Class 

E airspace designated as an extension to 

Class D, at Rochester International 

Airport, Rochester, MN, and St. Cloud 

Regional Airport, St. Cloud, MN. 

Additionally, the geographic 

coordinates of the Rochester 

International Airport are being updated 

to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 

This is an administrative change 

amending the description for the above 

Minnesota airports to be in concert with 

the FAA’s aeronautical database, and 

does not affect the boundaries, or 

operating requirements of the airspace; 

therefore, notice and public procedure

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are

procedures and air navigation, it is

economic impact on a substantial

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 5–6.5.a. This airspace action
