SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On December 20, 2011, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 

controlled airspace at Lamar, CO (76 FR 

78864). Interested parties were invited 

to participate in this rulemaking effort 

by submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. 

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 

part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in that 

Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

amending Class E airspace, extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface, 

at Lamar Municipal Airport. Airspace 

reconfiguration is necessary due to the 

decommissioning of the Lamar TACAN. 

Also, the geographic coordinates of the 

airport are updated to coincide with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database. Controlled 

airspace is necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

The FAA has determined this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (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 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. The FAA’s 

authority to issue rules regarding 

aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the 

U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 

discusses 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 amends 

controlled airspace at Lamar Municipal 

Airport, Lamar, CO.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class 

E airspace at Piseco, NY, to 

accommodate new Area Navigation 

(RNAV) Global Positioning System

action also makes a minor adjustment to 

the geographic coordinates of the 

airport.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On December 13, 2011, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to establish Class E airspace 700 feet 

above the surface, at Piseco, NY (76 FR 

77451). Interested parties were invited 

to participate in this rulemaking effort 

by submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. Subsequent to 

publication, the FAA found that the 

geographic coordinates needed to be 

adjusted; this rule makes that 

adjustment. Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

18104 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 59 / Tuesday, March 27, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

6005 of FAA Order 7400.9V dated 

August 9, 2011, and effective September 

15, 2011, 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. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

establish Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to support new standard instrument 

approach procedures developed at 

Piseco Airport, Piseco, NY. This action 

also adjusts the geographic coordinates 

of the airport to be in concert with the 

FAAs aeronautical database. This 

enhances the safety and management of 

IFR operations at the airport. Except for 

the changes noted above, this action is 

the same as that proposed in the NPRM. 

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 will only affect 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. 

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 airspace at Piseco 

Airport, Piseco, NY.

Amendment of Restricted Areas R–

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action makes a minor 

editorial change to the time of 

designation for restricted areas R–5801 

and R–5803, Chambersburg, PA, to 

remove the abbreviation ‘‘EST.’’ This 

amendment does not change the 

dimensions of, or activities conducted 

within, the restricted areas.

Services, Federal Aviation 

Administration, 800 Independence 

Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591; 

telephone: (202) 267–8783. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The time of designation for R–5801 

and R–5803 currently reads ‘‘0800 to 

1600 EST, Monday–Friday.’’ Since these 

restricted areas lie completely within 

the Eastern Time zone, it is unnecessary 

to specify ‘‘EST’’ in the descriptions. 

The hours 0800 to 1600 are in effect 

year round regardless of time of year. 

The use of ‘‘EST’’ in the current 

description leads to confusion about the 

time of designation during that part of 

the year when daylight saving time is in 

effect. The intended time of designation 

for the restricted areas is 0800–1600 

local time during both standard time 

and daylight time periods. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 73 to 

remove ‘‘EST’’ from the time of 

designation in the descriptions of 

restricted areas R–5801 and R–5803, 

Chambersburg, PA. The time of 

designation is amended to read ‘‘0800 to 

1600 local time, Monday–Friday.’’ This 

change does not alter the current usage 

of the restricted areas. 

Accordingly, since this action is an 

administrative change, and does not 

alter the dimensions or utilization of the 

restricted areas, I find that notice and 

public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) 

are unnecessary. 

Section 73.58 of Title 14 CFR part 73 

was republished in FAA Order 7400.8U, 

effective February 16, 2012. 

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. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (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 rule, when 

promulgated, will not have a significant
