Section II: Subsequent Moving Average of 

Lift Cycles per Hour TIS 

Subsequent moving average calculations 

are performed on the MRS assembly at 

intervals of 50 hour TIS after the first moving 

average calculation. Subtract the total 

number of lift cycles performed during the 

first 50-hour TIS interval used in the 

previous moving average calculation from the 

total number of lift cycles performed on the 

MRS assembly during the previous 300 hours 

TIS. Divide this result by 250. The result will 

be the next or subsequent moving average 

calculation of lift cycles per hour TIS. 

Section III: Sample Calculation for 

Subsequent 50 Hour TIS Intervals 

Assume the total number of lift cycles for 

the first 50 hour TIS interval used in the 

previous moving average calculation = 450 

lift cycles and the total number of lift cycles 

for the previous 300 hours TIS = 2700 lift 

cycles. The subsequent moving average of lift 

cycles per hour TIS = (2700 ¥ 450) divided 

by 250 = 9 lift cycles per hour TIS.

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 establishes 

Class E airspace at Trego Wakeeney 

Airport, Wakeeney, KS. 

History 

On June 25, 2015, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to 

propose Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Trego Wakeeney Airport, Wakeeney, 

KS, (80 FR 36495). The airport name is 

corrected in the airspace description 

from Sheridan Municipal Airport to 

Trego Wakeeney Airport. 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 7400.9Z, 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 

establishing Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 6.0-mile radius of Trego 

Wakeeney Airport, Wakeeney, KS, to 

accommodate new Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedures for IFR operations 

at the airport. The correct airport name 

is noted in the airspace description, 

changing it from Sheridan Municipal 

Airport. 

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 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. 

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 311a. This airspace action is 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

63426 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 202 / Tuesday, October 20, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exists 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

Class D and Class E airspace and 

removes Class E airspace in the 

Columbus, OH, area. 

History 

On July 17th, 2015, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class D and Class E airspace 

and remove Class E airspace in the 

Columbus, OH, area. (80 FR 42434). 

Interested parties were invited to

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

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

modifies Class D and E airspace in the 

Columbus, OH, area. Decommissioning 

of the Dan Scott NDB navigation aid and 

cancellation of the NDB approach at 

Ohio State University Airport has made 

this action necessary. Class E airspace 

designated as an extension to Class D is 

removed as it is no longer required. 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Port 

Columbus International Airport is 

reconfigured due to the Dan Scott NDB 

decommissioning. The geographic 

coordinates of Ohio State University 

Airport and Port Columbus 

International Airport are updated to 

coincide with the FAAs aeronautical 

database. 

Class D and E airspace designations 

are published in Paragraphs 5000, 6004, 

and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015, and
