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, will 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.

RIN 2120–AA66 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Kamuela, HI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

surface area airspace and Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Waimea-Kohala 

Airport, Kamuela, HI by modifying the 

boundaries to only that area necessary 

to contain instrument flight rules (IFR) 

operations at the airport. The part-time 

Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) status is 

removed from Class E surface area 

airspace, and references to the Kamuela 

VOR/DME is removed from associated 

Class E airspace areas above. Airspace 

redesign is necessary as the FAA 

transitions from ground-based to 

satellite-based navigation for the safety 

and management of the national 

airspace system. Also, an editorial 

change will be made removing the 

airport name and replacing it with the 

city in the airspace designators for the 

above airspace areas. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 28, 

2019. 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 

7400.11 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

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 E airspace at Waimea-Kohala 

Airport, Kamuela, HI, in support of IFR 

operations at the airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (83 FR 7433; February 21, 

2018) for Docket No. FAA–2017–1145 to 

amend Class E surface area airspace and 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at WaimeaKohala Airport, Kamuela, HI. 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, 

respectively, 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. 

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 

The FAA is amending Title 14 Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

by removing the part-time NOTAM 

status of Class E surface area airspace 

and defining its boundaries with 

reference to the Waimea-Kohala Airport, 

Kamuela, HI (instead of the Kamuela 

VOR/DME). Class E airspace extends 

upward from the surface within the 4.3- 

mile radius of Waimea-Kohala Airport, 

and within 2.4 miles north and 1.8 

miles south of the 069° bearing from the 

airport extending from the 4.3-mile 

radius to 7.3 miles east of the airport 

(currently 1.8 miles northwest of and 

2.6 miles southeast of the Kamuela VOR 

063° radial, extending from the 4.3-mile 

radius to 7.8 miles northeast of the 

Kamuela VOR/DME). 

Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface will be 

modified to within a 4.3-mile radius 

(from a 6.4-mile radius) of WaimeaKohala Airport and within 4.1 miles 

each side of the 069° bearing from the 

airport extending from the 4.3-mile 

radius to 12.8 miles east of the airport, 

and within 1.3 miles each side of the 

244° bearing from the airport extending 

from the 4.3-mile radius to 5.8 miles 

southwest of the airport (currently 2 

miles each side of the Kamuela VOR/ 

DME 068° radial, extending from the 

6.4-mile radius 12.6 miles northeast of 

the Kamuela VOR/DME, and within 2 

miles each side of the Kamuela VOR/ 

DME 246° extending from the 6.4-mile 

radius to 13.4 miles southwest of the 

Kamuela VOR/DME). This airspace 

redesign expands the airspace areas 

slightly northeast and reduces the 

airspace from southeast clockwise to 

north to only that area necessary to 

contain IFR operations at the airport. 

Additionally, an editorial change 

replaces Waimea-Kohala Airport, HI, 

with Kameula, HI, in the airspace 

designation of the above classes of 

airspace to comply with a recent change 

to FAA Order 7400.2L, Procedures for 

Handling Airspace Matters. 

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

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. 

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

is not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
