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 establishes 

controlled airspace in the International 

Falls, MN, area. 

History 

On August 27, 2015, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to establish Class E en Route Domestic 

Airspace in the International Falls, MN 

area. (80 FR 51972) FAA–2015–3084. 

On September 25, 2015, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

correction to the aforementioned NPRM 

to include exclusionary reference to 

Canadian airspace (80 FR 57755) FAA– 

2015–3084. Interested parties were 

invited to participate in this rulemaking 

effort by submitting written comments 

on the proposal to the FAA. One 

positive comment was received. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6006 of FAA 

Order 7400.9Z dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The 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 

7400.9Z, 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 Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

establishes Class E Domestic en Route 

airspace extending upward from 1,200 

feet above the surface in the 

International Falls, MN area, to contain 

aircraft while in IFR conditions under 

control of Minneapolis ARTCC by safely 

vectoring aircraft from en route airspace 

to terminal areas. Controlled airspace is 

needed for the safety and management 

of IFR operations within the confines of 

Minneapolis ARTCC airspace. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraph 6006 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 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. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exists 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

bridge owner to perform structural 

repairs at the bridge. 

DATES: This deviation is effective from 

10 p.m. on February 26, 2016 to 5 a.m. 

on February 28, 2016.

District, telephone (212) 514–4336, 

email joe.m.arca@uscg.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Amtrak Portal Bridge across Hackensack 

River, at Kearney, New Jersey, has a 

vertical clearance in the closed position 

of 23 feet at mean high water and 28 feet 

at mean low water. The existing bridge 

operating regulations are found at 33 

CFR 117.723(e). 

The waterway is transited by seasonal 

recreational vessels of various sizes. 

There is one sewage facility upstream of 

the bridge that transits the bridge twice 

a week. 

The bridge owner, AMTRAK, 

requested a temporary deviation from 

the normal operating schedule to 

facilitate structural repairs at the bridge. 

Under this temporary deviation, the 

Amtrak Portal railroad bridge shall 

remain in the closed position from 10 

p.m. on February 26, 2016 to 5 a.m. 

February 28, 2016. 

Vessels able to pass under the bridge 

in the closed position may do so at any 

time. The bridge will not be able to open 

for emergencies and there is no 

immediate alternate route for vessels to 

pass. 

The Coast Guard will inform the users 

of the waterways through our Local 

Notice and Broadcast to Mariners of the 

change in operating schedule for the 

bridge so that vessel operations can 

arrange their transits to minimize any 

impact caused by the temporary 

deviation. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the effective period of this 

temporary deviation. This deviation 

from the operating regulations is 

authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. 

Dated: February 11, 2016.
