16668 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 56 / Thursday, March 22, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

adopting this action, the FAA consulted 

with ICAO counterparts in the ICAO 

Aviation Medicine Section and on the 

ICAO Air Navigation Commission to 

inform them this action is being taken. 

The FAA did not receive any objections 

to removing this regulatory provision. 

V. Executive Order Determinations 

A. Executive Order 13132, Federalism 

The FAA has analyzed this final rule 

under the principles and criteria of 

Executive Order 13132, Federalism. The 

Agency determined that this action will 

not have a substantial direct effect on 

the States, or the relationship between 

the Federal Government and the States, 

or on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, and, therefore, 

does not have Federalism implications. 

B. Executive Order 13211, Regulations 

That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use 

The FAA analyzed this final rule 

under Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations that 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use (May 18, 2001). The 

agency has determined that it is not a 

‘‘significant energy action’’ under the 

executive order and it is not likely to 

have a significant adverse effect on the 

supply, distribution, or use of energy.

Amendment of Class D and E

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule, technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

and E airspace at Hernando County 

Airport, Brooksville, FL. The geographic 

coordinates of the airport are being 

adjusted to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database, which shows the 

correct coordinates. This does not affect 

the boundaries or operating 

requirements of the airspace. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC March 22, 

2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

The FAA is adjusting the geographic 

location of Hernando County Airport, 

Brooksville, FL, to be in concert with 

the FAAs aeronautical database, which 

shows the correct coordinates. This is 

an administrative change and does not 

affect the boundaries or operating 

requirements of the airspace, therefore, 

notice and public procedures under 5 

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

The Class D and E airspace 

designations are published in 

Paragraphs 5000, 6002, and 6005 of 

FAA order 7400.9V, dated August 9, 

2011, and effective September 15, 2011, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class D and E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends the geographic coordinates in 

the legal description of Class D airspace, 

Class E surface airspace, and Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface, for Hernando 

County Airport, Brooksville, FL. This 

update brings the geographic 

coordinates of the airport in concert 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 56 / Thursday, March 22, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 16669 

with the FAA’s Aeronautical Products 

database. 

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 will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that 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 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 

Hernando County Airport, Brooksville, 

FL.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On December 22, 2011, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to establish Class E airspace 700 feet 

above the surface at Bellefonte, PA (76 

FR 79564). 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 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9V 

dated August 9, 2011, and effective 

September 15, 2011, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

establishes Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to support new standard instrument 

approach procedures developed at 

Bellefonte Airport, Bellefonte, PA. This 

enhances the safety and management of 

IFR operations at the airport. 

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
