Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 111 / Monday, June 10, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 34557 

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 

controlled airspace at the Tobe VOR/ 

DME navigation aid, Tobe, CO. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On March 6, 2013, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to 

establish Class E airspace at Sanibel, FL 

(78 FR 14473). 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 

heliport coordinates were incorrectly 

listed as point in space coordinates; and 

point in space coordinates were 

inadvertently omitted. This action 

makes the correction. Except for 

editorial changes and the changes listed 

above, this rule is the same as published 

in the NPRM. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9W dated August 8, 2012, 

and effective September 15, 2012, 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 

establishes Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Sanibel, FL, providing the controlled 

airspace required to support the new 

Copter RNAV (GPS) special standard 

instrument approach procedures for 

Sanibel Island Heliport. Controlled 

airspace within a 6-mile radius of the 

point in space coordinates of the 

heliport is necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

heliport. Geographic coordinates for the 

heliport and point in space are corrected 

and separately listed. 

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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does 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 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

section, the FAA is charged with

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On March 26, 2013, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to modify controlled airspace at Clifton/ 

Morenci, AZ (78 FR 18269). 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 7400.9W dated August 8, 2012, 

and effective September 15, 2012, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

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 

modifying Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Greenlee County Airport, Clifton/ 

Morenci, AZ. Additional controlled 

airspace extending upward from 1,200 

feet above the surface at Greenlee 

County Airport is necessary to 

accommodate IFR aircraft executing 

RNAV (GPS) standard instrument 

approach procedures at the airport. This 

action is necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations. 

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

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not

discusses the authority of the FAA 

Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation

rulemaking is promulgated under the 

authority described in Subtitle VII, Part 

A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with

of airspace necessary to ensure the
