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 designated as a surface 

area, amends Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface, 

and establishes Class E airspace 

designated as an extension to the Class 

E surface area at Columbus Municipal 

Airport, Columbus, NE to support IFR 

operations at the airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the 

Federal Register (83 FR 13438; March 

29, 2018) for Docket No. FAA–2018– 

0137 to amend Class E airspace 

designated as a surface area and make 

the airspace full-time and remove the 

airspace part-time status and language 

from the airspace legal description, 

amend Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface, 

and establish Class E airspace 

designated as an extension to the Class 

E surface area at Columbus Municipal 

Airport, Columbus, NE. Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this rulemaking effort by submitting 

written comments on the proposal to the 

FAA. No comments were received. 

Subsequent to publication, the FAA 

discovered the following typographical 

errors: In the Class E airspace 

designated as a surface area airspace 

legal description, the airspace radius 

should be 4.2 vice 4.7; and the 

geographic coordinates for Columbus 

Municipal Airport in the classes of 

airspace shown should be (lat. 41°26′55′′ 

N, long. 97°20′27′′ W) vice (lat. 

41°26′55′′ N, long. 97°20′34′′ W). These 

errors are corrected with this action. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6002, 6004, and 

6005, respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, and 

effective September 15, 2017, 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. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.11B, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, 

and effective September 15, 2017. FAA 

Order 7400.11B is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists 

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

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

The FAA amends Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by: 

Amending the Class E airspace 

designated as a surface area to within a 

4.2-mile radius (reduced from a 4.7-mile 

radius) at Columbus Municipal Airport, 

Columbus, NE; removing the Columbus 

VOR/DME and the extensions to the 

southeast and northwest of the airport 

as they are no longer needed to define 

this boundary; making the airspace fulltime and removing the part-time status 

and language from the airspace legal 

description; and updating the 

geographic coordinates of the airport to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database; 

Establishing Class E airspace 

designated as an extension to the Class 

E surface area at Columbus Municipal 

Airport within 2.4 miles each side of the 

Columbus VOR/DME 150° radial from 

the 4.2-mile radius of the airport to 7.0 

miles southeast of the airport, and 

within 2.4 miles each side of the 

Columbus VOR/DME 309° radial from 

the 4.2-mile radius of the airport to 7.7 

miles northwest of the airport; and 

Amending Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to within a 6.7-mile radius (reduced 

from a 7.7-mile radius) of Columbus 

Municipal Airport; removing the 

Columbus Municipal ILS Localizer, 

Platte Center NDB, and the associated 

northwest extension; amending the 

extension to the southeast to within 2.4 

miles (increased from 1.6 miles) each 

side of the Columbus VOR/DME 150° 

(previously 157°) radial from the 6.7- 

mile radius to 7.0 miles (decreased from 

11 miles) southeast of the airport; 

adding an extension 2.4 miles each side 

of the Columbus VOR/DME 309° radial 

extending from the 6.7-mile radius to 

7.7 miles northeast of the airport; and 

updating the geographic coordinates of 

the airport to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. 

The NPRM incorrectly stated the 

geographic coordinates of the airport 

noted in the classes of airspace and are 

corrected in this rule to (lat. 41°26′55′′ 

N, long. 97°20′27′′ W). 

Airspace reconfiguration is necessary 

due to a request from Minneapolis 

ARTCC, to bring the airspace into 

compliance with FAA Order 7400.2L, 

Procedures for Handling Airspace, and 

to support the safety and management of 

IFR operations at the 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 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 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 5–6.5.a. 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.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background Information and 

Regulatory History 

The Coast Guard is issuing this 

temporary rule without prior notice and 

opportunity to comment pursuant to 

authority under section 4(a) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 

U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision 

authorizes an agency to issue a rule 

without prior notice and opportunity to 

comment when the agency for good 

cause finds that those procedures are 

‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for not publishing a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

with respect to this rule because it is 

impracticable and contrary to the public 

interest to do so. There is insufficient 

time to allow for a reasonable comment 

period prior to the date of the event. The 

rule must be in force by August 7, 2018, 

to serve its purpose of ensuring the 

safety of spectators and the general 

public from hazards associated with the 

fireworks display. Hazards include 

accidental discharge of fireworks, 

dangerous projectiles, and falling hot 

embers or other debris. 

Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast 

Guard finds that good cause exists for 

making this rule effective less than 30 

days after publication in the Federal 

Register. Delaying the effective date of 

this rule would be impracticable and 

contrary to the public interest because 

immediate action is needed to mitigate 

the potential safety hazards associated 

with a fireworks display in this location. 

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule 

The Coast Guard is issuing this rule 

under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231. The 

Captain of the Port Delaware Bay 

(COTP) has determined that potential 

hazards associated with the fireworks 

display on August 7, 2018, will be a 

safety concern for anyone within a 200- 

yard radius of the fireworks barge, 

which will be anchored in approximate 

position 39°37′08.34′′ N, 074°12′25.60′′ 

W. This rule is needed to protect 

persons, vessels and the public within 

the safety zone during the fireworks 

display. 

IV. Discussion of the Rule 

This rule establishes a temporary 

safety zone from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. 

on August 7, 2018, on the waters of 

Little Egg Harbor off Long Beach, NJ, 

during a fireworks display from a barge. 

The event is scheduled to take place at 

8:45 p.m. on August 7, 2018. The safety 

zone will extend 200 yards around the 

barge, which will be anchored at
