**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), withdrawal.

**SUMMARY :**  A notice of proposed rulemaking published in the Federal Register on August 22, 2011 amending Class E airspace at Lexington County Airport at Pelion, Pelion, SC, is being withdrawn. Upon review, the FAA found that controlled airspace already exists for this airport under a different city designator and airport name, and substantial corrections would need to be made. In the interest of clarity, a new proposal amending existing airspace and establishing airspace with the new information will be submitted under a separate rulemaking.

**DATES :**  Effective December 14, 2011, the proposed rule published August 22, 2011 (76 FR 52290), is withdrawn. 0901 UTC.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  History

On August 22, 2011, a NPRM was published in the Federal Register amending Class E airspace at Pelion, SC to accommodate new standard instrument approach procedures for Lexington County Airport at Pelion (76 FR 52290). Subsequent to publication the FAA found that the airspace currently existed under the airport’s previous name of Corporate Airport and the city designator of Columbia, SC. To avoid confusion this proposed rule is being withdrawn and will be established under another rulemaking with the new airport name and designation, along with an amendment for the Columbia, SC controlled airspace area removing Corporate Airport from the description.

**Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Columbia, SC, and Proposed**  **Establishment of Class E Airspace; Pelion, SC** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

**SUMMARY :**  This action proposes to amend Class E Airspace at Columbia, SC by removing Corporate Airport from the airspace designation, and would establish Class E Airspace at Pelion, SC, using the new airport name, as new Standard Instrument Approach Procedures have been developed at Lexington County Airport at Pelion. This action would enhance the safety and airspace management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This action also would update the geographic coordinates of the airport.

Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future NPRMs should contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, (202) 267–9677, to request a copy of Advisory circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking distribution System, which describes the application procedure. The Proposal

The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Columbia, SC, by removing Corporate Airport from the airspace designation and would establish Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to support new standard instrument approach procedures developed at Lexington County Airport at Pelion, Pelion, SC, formerly Corporate Airport. Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the design of new arrival procedures, and for continued safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. The geographic coordinates also would be adjusted to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical database. Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011, and effective September 15, 2011, 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.

The FAA has determined that this proposed 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 impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

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 proposed 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 proposed regulation is within the scope of that authority as it would amend Class E airspace at Columbia, SC and establish Class E airspace at Lexington County Airport at Pelion, Pelion, SC.
