procedures would require additional 

airspace for the safety if IFR aircraft 

using the new procedure. 

On January 23, 2017, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

Supplemental Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (82 FR, 7737) FAA–2016– 

8164, proposing to establish Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface within a 4.7-mile 

radius (from the proposed 4-mile radius) 

of Manti-Ephraim Airport, Manti, UT, 

with segments extending from the 4.7- 

mile radius to 11 miles southwest, and 

7.2 miles northeast of the airport. One 

comment was received in favor of the 

proposal. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, 

and effective September 15, 2016, 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. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.11A, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, 

and effective September 15, 2016. FAA 

Order 7400.11A is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11A 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 

establishes Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 4.7-mile radius of MantiEphraim Airport, Manti, UT, with 

segments extending from the 4.7-mile 

radius to 11 miles southwest of the 

airport, and 7.2 miles northeast of the 

airport. This airspace is established to 

accommodate new Area Navigation 

(RNAV) Global Positioning System 

(GPS) standard instrument approach 

procedures developed for 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 5–6.5a. 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 D and Class E 

Airspace; Elmira, NY 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

and E airspace at Elmira, NY, as the 

ERINN Outer Marker (OM) has been 

decommissioned requiring airspace 

reconfiguration at Elmira/Corning 

Regional Airport. This action enhances 

the safety and airspace management of 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations 

at the airport. This action also updates 

the geographic coordinates of the 

airport, and eliminates the Notice to 

Airmen (NOTAM) part-time status of 

the Class E airspace designated as an 

extension to a Class D surface area. 

Also, the FAA found the Class E 

airspace designated as an extension to a 

class D surface area description was 

inaccurate. This action corrects the 

error. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, June 22, 

2017. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under title 1, Code of 

Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to

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 D and Class E airspace at Elmira/ 

Corning Regional Airport, Elmira, NY. 

History 

On December 13, 2016, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class D and Class E airspace 

at Elmira, NY. (81 FR 89885) Docket No. 

FAA–2015–8128. This proposed change 

is necessary as the ERINN Outer Marker 

(OM) has been decommissioned 

requiring airspace reconfiguration at 

Elmira/Corning Regional Airport. 

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 

regulatory text for the Class E airspace 

designated as an extension was found to 

have some inaccuracies and is rewritten 

for clarity. 

Class D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in 

paragraphs 5000, 6002 and 6004, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11A 

dated August 3, 2016, and effective 

September 15, 2016, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class D and 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 

7400.11A, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, 

and effective September 15, 2016. FAA 

Order 7400.11A is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11A 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 Class D airspace, Class E surface 

area airspace, and Class E airspace 

designated as an extension to a Class D 

surface area at Elmira/Corning Regional 

Airport, Elmira, NY. This action amends 

the geographic coordinates of the airport 

to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database, and eliminates the NOTAM 

information from the regulatory text of 

the Class E airspace designated as an 

extension to Class D that reads, ‘‘This 

Class E airspace area is effective during 

the specific dates and time established 

in advance by Notice to Airmen. The 

effective date and time will thereafter be 

continuously published in the Airport/ 

Facility Directory.’’ This action also 

corrects some inaccuracies in the 

segment dimensions northeast, east, and 

southwest of the airport in the 

description of Class E airspace 

designated as an extension to a Class D 

surface. 

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. 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

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.

History 

On November 7, 2016, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to modify Class E surface area airspace, 

and Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface, at Perry 

Stokes Airport, Trinidad, CO, (81 FR 

78088) Docket FAA–2015–7115. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6002 and 6005 

of FAA Order 7400.11A, dated August 

3, 2016, and effective September 15, 

2016, which is incorporated by 

reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class 

E airspace designation 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 

7400.11A, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, 

and effective September 15, 2016. FAA 

Order 7400.11A is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists 

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

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending Title 14 Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

by modifying Class E surface area 

airspace at Perry Stokes Airport, 

Trinidad, CO, to within a 4.6-mile 

radius of the airport (from a 4.2-mile 

radius), with a segment extending from 

the airport 4.6-mile radius to 7.2 miles 

southwest of the airport. Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface is modified to 

within a 7.2-mile radius of the airport 

(from an 8-mile radius) from the airport 

231 ° bearing clockwise to the 056 ° 

bearing, and within a 4.6-mile radius 

from the airport 056 ° bearing clockwise 

to the 231 ° bearing, and with a segment 

extending from the 4.6-mile radius of 

the airport to 9.3 miles southwest of the 

airport. The Class E airspace extending 

upward from 1,200 feet above the 

surface is removed as this airspace is 

controlled by the Blue Mesa en route 

airspace area. Also, the airport’s 

geographic coordinates are updated to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. New RNAV standard 

instrument approach procedures, due to 

decommissioning of the Trinidad NDB, 

have made this action necessary for the 

safety, efficiency, and management of 

IFR operations at the airport.
