SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On August 22, 2011, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 

Class E airspace at Jacksonville, NC (76 

FR 52291). 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 found that the 

geographic coordinates for Albert J. Ellis 

Airport needed to be adjusted. This 

action makes that adjustment. Class E 

airspace designations are published in 

paragraphs 6002 and 6005 of FAA Order 

7400.9V dated August 9, 2011, and 

effective September 15, 2011, 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. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends Class E surface area airspace 

and Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface at 

Jacksonville, NC, to provide the 

controlled airspace required to 

accommodate the new Area Navigation 

(RNAV) Global Positioning System 

(GPS) Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures developed for Albert J. Ellis 

Airport. This action is necessary for the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. This action 

also adjusts the geographic coordinates 

of the airport to be in concert with the 

FAAs aeronautical database 

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 will 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. 

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 controlled airspace at Albert 

J. Ellis Airport, Jacksonville, NC.
