Amendment of Class B Airspace;

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT.

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the 

description of Area D of the Washington 

Tri-Area Class B airspace area to include

restricted area is active. The remainder 

of the Class B description is not affected 

by this change. 

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 23, 2014, the FAA published 

a final rule establishing restricted area 

R–4001C at Aberdeen Proving Ground, 

MD (79 FR 29661). R–4001C was formed 

by further subdividing small sections of 

existing restricted areas R–4001A and 

R–4001B that currently extend into Area 

D of the Washington, DC, Tri-Area Class 

B airspace area. The description of Area 

D excludes the airspace in restricted 

areas R–4001A and B from the Class B 

airspace. This change simply updates 

that description to add R–4001C (which 

is imbedded within R–4001A and R– 

4001B) to the exclusionary language. 

Aeronautical charts have been updated 

to reflect this information. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending Title 14 Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

to update the description of Area D in 

the Washington Tri-Area Class B 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
57758 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 187 / Friday, September 26, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

airspace area. This action excludes the 

airspace in restricted area R–4001C from 

the Class B airspace during times when 

the restricted area is activated. The 

remainder of the Class B airspace 

description is unchanged by this action. 

Because this is an editorial change to 

reflect current restricted area 

subdivisions, I find that notice and 

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

is unnecessary and contrary to the 

public interest. Also, because moored 

balloons contained in the area are 

airborne 24 hours per day (except for 

maintenance or weather conditions) 

there is a need to separate 

nonparticipating aircraft from a hazard 

to navigation, therefore, the FAA finds 

good cause, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d), 

for making this amendment effective in 

less than 30 days in order to promote 

the safe and efficient handling of air 

traffic in the area. 

Class B airspace areas are published 

in paragraph 3000 of FAA Order 

7400.9Y dated August 6, 2014, and 

effective September 15, 2014, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class B airspace area listed in 

this document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

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. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (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 the 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 makes 

editorial corrections to an existing Class 

B airspace description to maintain 

accuracy. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with 311a, 

FAA Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures.’’ This 

airspace action is an editorial change 

only and is not expected to cause any 

potentially significant environmental 

impacts, and no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment.
