Establishment of Class E Airspace, 

Los Angeles, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class 

E en route airspace extending upward 

from 1,200 feet above the surface to 

accommodate instrument flight rules 

(IFR) aircraft under control of the Los 

Angeles Air Route Traffic Control 

Center (ARTCC), Los Angeles, CA. 

Establishment of this airspace area 

would ensure controlled airspace exists 

in those areas where the Federal airway 

structure is inadequate. This action also 

corrects an error in one of the longitude 

coordinates in the airspace description. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, November 8, 

2018. 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 establishes 

Class E en route airspace extending 

upward from 1,200 feet above the 

surface to support IFR aircraft under 

control of the Los Angeles ARTCC, Los 

Angeles, CA. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the 

Federal Register (83 FR 24050; May 24, 

2018) for Docket No. FAA–2017–1202 to 

establish Class E en route airspace 

extending 1,200 feet above the surface 

for IFR aircraft under control of the Los 

Angeles ARTCC, Los Angeles, CA. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. One comment was 

received in support of this action. 

Subsequent to publication, a 

typographical error was discovered in 

one of the coordinates listed in the 

airspace description. The longitude 

coordinate of ‘‘lat. 32°32′03′′ N, long. 

117°07′25′′ W’’ is amended to ‘‘lat. 

32°32′03′′ N, long. 117°07′29′′ W’’ to 

correct the error. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6006 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 establishing Class E en route airspace 

extending upward from 1,200 feet above 

the surface to accommodate instrument 

flight rules (IFR) aircraft under control 

of the Los Angeles Air Route Traffic 

Control Center (ARTCC), Los Angeles, 

CA to ensure controlled airspace exists 

in those areas where the Federal airway 

structure is inadequate. 

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 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 178 / Thursday, September 13, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 46387 

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
