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 supports 

removal of Class E airspace due to the 

closure of St Marys Airport, St Marys, 

GA. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (83 FR 23831, May 23, 2018) 

for Docket No. FAA–2018–0255 to 

remove Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at St Marys Airport, St Marys, GA. This 

airport has closed. Therefore, the 

airspace is no longer necessary at this 

site. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. 

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 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

removes Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet or more above the 

surface due to the closure of St Marys 

Airport, St Marys, GA. Therefore, 

controlled airspace is no longer 

necessary at this site. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraph 6005, 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 designation 

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 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 155 / Friday, August 10, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 39587 

current. 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 5–6.5a. 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; 

Lansing, MI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Capital Region 

International Airport, Lansing, MI. This 

action is the result of an airspace review 

due to the decommissioning of the 

Lansing VHF omnidirectional range 

(VOR) navigation aid as part of the VOR 

Minimum Operational Network (MON) 

Program. The geographic coordinates 

and name of the airport are also updated 

to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. An editorial change is also 

made to the airspace legal designation 

by removing the city from the airport 

name. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, November 8, 

2018. 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
