Docket No. 14–AWP–12] 

Amendment of Class E Airspace, 

Kahului, HI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E 

airspace designated as an extension to a 

Class C surface area, and modifies Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Kahului 

Airport, Kahului, HI. Due to changes to 

the available instrument flight 

procedures since the last airspace 

review and advances in Global 

Positioning System (GPS) mapping 

accuracy, modifications are necessary to 

ensure the safety and management of 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations 

at the airport. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, March 2, 

2017, The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under Title 1, Code of 

Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to 

the annual revision of FAA Order 

7400.11 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

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 modifies 

controlled airspace at Kahului Airport, 

Kahului, HI. 

History 

On August 12, 2016, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to modify Class E airspace at Kahului 

Airport, Kahului, HI (81 FR 53342) 

Docket No. FAA–2014–1068. 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 6003 and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11A, 

dated August 3, 2016, and effective 

September 15, 2016, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designation 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 

7400.11A, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, 

and effective September 15, 2016. FAA 

Order 7400.11A is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists 

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

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending Title 14 Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 

by modifying the Kahului Airport, 

Kahului, HI, Class E airspace area 

designated as an extension to a Class C 

surface area, to include that area within 

3 miles each side of the airport 203° 

bearing extending from the airport 5- 

mile radius to 7 miles southwest of the 

airport, and removing the extension to 

the northeast as it is no longer required. 

This action also modifies the Class E 

airspace area extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface by slightly 

expanding that airspace within 3.6 

miles each side of the 038° bearing from 

the airport extending from the 5-mile 

radius to 11.7 miles northeast of the 

airport. This modification is necessary 

to contain IFR arrival operations 

descending below 1,500 feet above the 

surface, and IFR departure operations 

below 1,200 feet above the surface. Also, 

the Maui VORTAC navigation aid is 

removed from the legal descriptions in 

the Class E airspace areas noted above. 

Changes to the available instrument 

flight procedures, advances in GPS 

mapping accuracy, and a reliance on 

precise geographic coordinates to define 

airport and airspace reference points 

have made this action necessary for the 

safety and management of Instrument 

Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the 

airport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraphs 6003, and 

6005, respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and 

effective September 15, 2016, 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. 

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 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 249 / Wednesday, December 28, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 95431 

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 5–6.5a. 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; 

Cedar City, UT 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule, technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the legal 

descriptions for Class E surface airspace 

and Class E airspace upward from 700 

feet above the surface to correct the 

airport name for Cedar City Regional 

Airport (formerly Cedar City Municipal 

Airport), Cedar City, UT, and amends 

the airport reference point (ARP) 

geographic coordinates to coincide with 

the FAA’s aeronautical database. This 

action also changes the name of the VHF 

Omnidirectional Range Distance 

Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) 

noted in the Class E surface area 

airspace legal description to the Enoch 

VOR/DME (formerly Cedar City VOR/ 

DME). These changes do not affect the 

charted boundaries or operating 

requirements of the airspace. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, March 2, 

2017. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under title 1, Code of 

Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to 

the annual revision of FAA Order 

7400.11 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

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 

Class E airspace descriptions at Cedar 

City Regional Airport, Cedar City, UT. 

History 

The FAA identified that Cedar City 

Regional Airport and the geographic 

coordinates of the airport’s ARP listed 

in the Class E airspace legal descriptions 

above are not coincidental with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database. Also, in 

accordance with FAA policy, the FAA 

has changed the Cedar City VOR/DME 

name to the Enoch VOR/DME, to avoid 

any potential confusion resulting from 

an off-airport navigation aid with the 

same name as the associated airport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6002 and 6005,
