Proposed Amendment of Class E 

Airspace; Pelion, SC 

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withdrawn.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2011 (76 FR 52290), is withdrawn. 0901 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being withdrawn and will be 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.

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

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.
