Proposed Amendment of Class E 

Airspace; Tullahoma, TN 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Class E Airspace at Tullahoma, 

TN, as the Arnold Air Force Base has 

been closed and therefore controlled 

airspace associated with the airport is 

being removed. This action also would 

update the geographic coordinates at 

Tullahoma Regional Airport/Wm 

Northern Field. This action would 

enhance the safety and airspace 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations in the Tullahoma, TN 

area. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before April 16, 2012.

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 to support 

new standard instrument approach 

procedures developed at Tullahoma 

Regional Airport/Wm Northern Field, 

Tullahoma, TN. Airspace 

reconfiguration is necessary due to the 

closing of the Arnold Air Force Base, 

and for continued safety and 

management of IFR operations within 

the Tullahoma, TN airspace area. The 

geographic coordinates for Tullahoma 

Regional Airport/Wm Northern Field 

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 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

12760 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 42 / Friday, March 2, 2012 / Proposed Rules 

would amend Class E airspace in the 

Tullahoma, TN area. 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

Proposed Establishment of Class E 

Airspace; Wilkes-Barre, PA 

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 July 1, 2011, establishing 

Class E airspace at Wilkes-Barre/ 

Wyoming Valley Airport, Wilkes-Barre, 

PA, is being withdrawn. Controlled 

airspace already exists for area airports 

under this city designator. A new 

proposal amending the existing airspace 

will be submitted under a separate 

rulemaking. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC March 2, 

2012, the proposed rule published July 

1, 2011 (76 FR 38585), is withdrawn.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On July 1, 2011, a NPRM was 

published in the Federal Register 

establishing Class E airspace at WilkesBarre, PA, to accommodate new 

standard instrument approach 

procedures for Wilkes-Barre/Wyoming 

Valley Airport, Wilkes-Barre, PA (76 FR 

38585). Subsequent to publication the 

FAA found that Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface currently exists for WilkesBarre, PA, with the primary airport 

being Wilkes-Barre/Scranton 

International Airport. To avoid 

confusion this proposed rule is being 

withdrawn and another rulemaking will 

be forthcoming adding Wilkes-Barre/ 

Wyoming Valley Airport to the current 

city designator, Wilkes-Barre, PA. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. 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
