14652 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 45 / Thursday, March 7, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

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 amends controlled airspace in the 

Goldsboro, NC, area. 

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

airspace at Gaylord, MI. Additional 

controlled airspace is necessary to 

accommodate new Area Navigation 

(RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures at Gaylord Regional Airport. 

The airport’s name and geographic 

coordinates are also adjusted. The FAA 

is taking this action to enhance the 

safety and management of Instrument 

Flight Rule (IFR) operations at the 

airport.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On September 13, 2012, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class E airspace for the 

Gaylord, MI, area, creating additional 

controlled airspace at Gaylord Regional 

Airport (77 FR 56586) Docket No. FAA– 

2011–1401. 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 the 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 

to ensure that required controlled 

airspace exists to contain new standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Gaylord Regional Airport, Gaylord, MI. 

This action enhances the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. Geographic coordinates of the 

airport are updated, as well as the 

airport name from Otsego County 

Airport to Gaylord Regional Airport, to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 

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 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

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
