[Docket No. FAA–2015–7487; Airspace 

Docket No. 15–ACE–7] 

Proposed Amendment of Class D and 

E Airspace and Revocation of Class E 

Airspace; Sioux City, IA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Class D and E airspace at Sioux 

Gateway/Col. Bud Day Field, Sioux 

City, IA, due to the decommissioning of 

the Gateway non-directional radio 

beacon (NDB) and cancellation of the 

NDB approaches at the airport. The 

Class E airspace area designated as an 

extension would be removed as it is no 

longer needed. Advances in Global 

Positioning System (GPS) capabilities 

have made this action necessary for the 

safety and management of Instrument 

Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the 

airport. This action also would update 

the geographic coordinates for Martin 

Field, NE, to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database.

or before May 31, 2016.

Availability and Summary of 

Documents Proposed for Incorporation 

by Reference 

This document would amend 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 Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E 

surface area airspace and Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Sioux Gateway/ 

Col. Bud Day Field, Sioux City, IA. The 

Class E airspace area designated as an 

extension also would be removed as the 

extension is no longer needed. 

Decommissioning of the Gateway NDB 

and cancellation of the NDB approaches 

due to advances in GPS capabilities 

have made airspace reconfiguration is 

necessary at this airport. The geographic 

coordinates noted in Class D and E 

surface area airspace for South Sioux 

City, Martin Field, NE, also would be 

adjusted. 

Class D and E airspace designations 

are published in paragraphs 5000, 6002, 

6004 and 6005, respectively, 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 E airspace designations 

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 

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, would not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
