Availability and Summary of 

Documents Proposed for Incorporation 

by Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order 7400.9Y, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 6, 2014, and effective 

September 15, 2014. FAA Order 

7400.9Y is publicly available as listed in 

the ADDRESSES section of this proposed 

rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists Class A, 

B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic 

service routes, and reporting points. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) Part 71 by removing Class D 

airspace at Springfield-Beckley 

Municipal Airport, Springfield, OH. The 

closing of the air traffic control tower at 

Springfield-Beckley Municipal Airport 

has made this action necessary for the 

efficient use of airspace within the 

National Airspace System. 

Class D airspace areas are published 

in paragraph 5000, of FAA Order 

7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014, and 

effective September 15, 2014, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class D airspace 

designation listed in this document will 

be published subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA has determined this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 

Therefore, this proposed regulation; (1) 

is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 


Lhorne on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 103 / Friday, May 29, 2015 / Proposed Rules 30633 

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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

Section 106, describes the authority for 

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 the 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 would 

remove controlled airspace at 

Springfield-Beckley Municipal Airport, 

Springfield, OH. 

Environmental Review 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Title XI of the Organized Crime 

Control Act of 1970, Public Law 91–452, 

added chapter 40 (‘‘Importation, 

Manufacture, Distribution and Storage 

of Explosive Materials’’) to title 18 of the 

United States Code (U.S.C.). One 

purpose of title XI is to reduce the 

‘‘hazard to persons and property arising 

from misuse and unsafe or insecure 

storage of explosive materials.’’ Public 

Law 91–452, sec. 1101, 84 Stat. 922, 952 

(1970). 

The Attorney General is responsible 

for implementing title XI. See 18 U.S.C. 

847. The Attorney General has delegated 

that responsibility to the Director of the 

ATF subject to the direction of the 

Attorney General and the Deputy 

Attorney General. See 28 CFR 0.130. 

Regulations in 27 CFR part 555 

implement title XI. 

The regulations at 27 CFR 555.220 set 

forth a table of separation distances of 

ammonium nitrate and blasting agents 

from explosives or blasting agents (the 

§ 555.220 Table of Distances) followed 

by six explanatory notes. In this table, 

the term ‘‘separation distance’’ means 

the minimum distance that must be 

maintained between stores of certain 

materials, such as high explosives, and 

blasting agents. The third note states 

that the distances specified in the 

§ 555.220 Table of Distances ‘‘apply to 

ammonium nitrate that passes the
