57518 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 185 / Thursday, September 24, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends Class C airspace at Portland 

International Airport, Portland, OR, by 

adjusting the geographic coordinates to 

reflect recent survey data. This rule also 

adjusts the Evergreen North-South 

Airpark, Vancouver, WA, formerly 

Evergreen Airport, and Pearson Field, 

Vancouver, WA, formerly Pearson 

Airpark. 

This is an administrative change and 

does not affect the boundaries, altitudes, 

or operating requirements of the 

airspace, therefore, notice and public 

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

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 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. 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 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 modifies the 

air traffic service route structure in the 

north central United States to maintain 

the efficient flow of air traffic. 

History 

During a biennial review of the 

Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport’s 

airspace the FAA identified that the 

airport’s name had been changed to Bob 

Hope Airport and the geographic 

coordinates were incorrect. This action 

updates the name and geographic 

coordinates to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database for the respective 

Class C airspace area. 

Class C airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 4000 of FAA 

Order 7400.9Z dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class C 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 

final rule. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists 

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

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends the Class C airspace within 

which all aircraft operators are subject 

to operating rules and equipment 

requirements of Part 91 of the Federal 

Aviation Regulations (see 14 CFR 

91.130). The name of the BurbankGlendale-Pasadena Airport is changed 

to Bob Hope Airport and the geographic 

coordinates are updated. This rule is 

meant to insure pilots do not confuse 

instructions provided to them by Air 

Traffic Control. 

This is an administrative change and 

does not affect the boundaries, altitudes, 

or operating requirements of the 

airspace, therefore, notice and public 

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

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 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. 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.
