operating requirements of the airspace, 

therefore, notice and public procedure 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. 

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. Therefore, this regulation: (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.

change to the Louisville, KY, airspace 

designation and airport name. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, September

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 Bowman 

Field Airport, Louisville, KY, to support 

IFR operations at the airport. 

History 

The FAA published a final rule in the 

Federal Register (82 FR 50506; 

November 1, 2017) for Docket No. FAA– 

2016–9499 amending Class D airspace, 

and Class E surface airspace at Bowman 

Field Airport, Louisville, KY. 

Subsequent to publication, the FAA 

discovered the Louisville Standiford 

Field Class C airspace exclusionary 

language was omitted from the Class D 

legal description of the airport. This rule 

adds the Class C exclusionary language 

into the legal descriptions, noting the 

airport name change to Louisville 

International Airport. 

An editorial change is made that 

removes the airport name from the 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 176 / Tuesday, September 11, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 45821 

Louisville, KY, airspace designation, 

and the city from the airport name. 

Class D airspace and Class E surface 

airspace designations are published in 

paragraph 5000, and 6002 of FAA Order 

7400.11B dated August 3, 2017, and 

effective September 15, 2017, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class D and 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 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

adding to the Class D and Class E 

surface area legal descriptions for 

Bowman Field Airport, Louisville, KY, 

the following text that reads ‘‘excluding 

that portion within the Louisville 

International Airport Class C airspace 

area, and excluding that portion south 

of the 081° bearing from Louisville 

International Airport, and also 

excluding that portion north of the 

Louisville International Airport Class C 

airspace area and west of a line drawn 

from lat. 38°11′28′′ N long. 85°42′01′′ W 

direct thru the point where the 030° 

bearing from Louisville International 

Airport intersects the 5-mile radius from 

Louisville International Airport to the 

point of intersection with the 3.9-mile 

radius from Bowman Field Airport.’’ 

This action makes an editorial change to 

the Louisville, KY, airspace designation 

by removing the airport name of 

Bowman Field. This action also removes 

the city name (Louisville) from the 

airport name of Bowman Field Airport, 

to comply with FAA Order 7400.2L, 

Procedures for Handling Airspace 

Matters. 

Accordingly, action is take herein to 

add this exclusion of Louisville 

International Airport Class C airspace to 

the legal description for Bowman Field 

Airport, Louisville, KY, in the interest of 

flight safety. Therefore, I find that notice 

and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b) are impracticable and contrary to 

the public interest. 

To avoid confusion on the part of 

pilots flying in the area of Bowman 

Field Airport, Louisville, KY, the FAA 

finds good cause, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

553(d), for making this rule effective in 

less than 30 days in order to promote 

the safe and efficient handling of air 

traffic in the area. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

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.

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

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.
