Availability and Summary of 

Documents Proposed for Incorporation 

by Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 3, 2016, and effective 

September 15, 2016. FAA Order 

7400.11A is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11A 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 modifying Class E 

surface area airspace at Arcata Airport, 

Arcata, CA, and Rohnerville Airport, 

Fortuna, CA, and establishing Class E 

airspace designated as an extension at 

Arcata Airport. Also, stand-alone Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface would be 

established at Murray Field Airport, 

Eureka, CA. This proposed airspace 

redesign is necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at these 

airports, and for efficiency within the 

National Airspace System. 

At Arcata Airport, Arcata, CA, Class E 

surface area airspace would be 

expanded by 0.1 miles to within 4.1 

miles of the airport, and the Abeta NDB 

would be removed from the description 

as it was decommissioned and no longer 

needed; Class E airspace designated as 

an extension to a Class D or Class E 

surface area would be established 

within 2.9 miles each side of the 153 

degree bearing from the Arcata Airport 

extending from the 4.1-mile radius to 

10.5 miles southeast of the airport. Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface would be reduced 

to within a 7-mile radius of the airport, 

with a segment 4.2 miles wide (2.1 

miles each side of the 153 degree 

bearing) extending from the 7-mile 

radius of the airport to 14.1 miles 

southeast of the airport. Class E airspace 

upward from 1,200 feet above the 

surface would be removed, since this 

airspace is wholly contained within the 

Rogue Valley Class E en route airspace 

area. 

At Eureka, CA, this proposal would 

establish a designated stand-alone Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface within a 6.3-mile 

radius of Murray Field Airport with a 

segment 6.3 miles wide extending to 23 

miles southwest of the airport. This 

airspace area would specifically support 

IFR operations at Eureka, CA, and 

would be unaffected by any proposed 

changes that would occur at any other 

airport. 

At Fortuna, CA, this proposal would 

reduce Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to within a 2.7-mile radius (from a 6.5- 

mile radius) of Rohnerville Airport, 

with segments extending 7 miles 

northwest, 5.2 miles west, and 6.1 miles 

southeast of the airport. Class E airspace 

upward from 1,200 feet above the 

surface would be removed since this 

airspace is wholly contained within the 

Rogue Valley Class E en route airspace 

area. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6002, 6004, and 

6005, respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and 

effective September 15, 2016, 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. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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, would not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to 

establish a temporary safety zone for 

certain waters of the Detroit River. This 

action is necessary to provide for the 

safety of life on these navigable waters 

near Elizabeth Park, Trenton, MI, during 

a fireworks display on July 14, 2017. If 

inclement weather, this event will take 

place on July 15, 2017. This proposed 

rulemaking would prohibit persons and 

vessels from being in the safety zone 

unless authorized by the Captain of the 

Port Detroit or a designated 

representative. We invite your 

comments on this proposed rulemaking. 

DATES: Comments and related material 

must be received by the Coast Guard on 

or before April 27, 2017.

U.S.C. United States Code 

COTP Captain of the Port 

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal 

Basis 

On February 16, 2017, Great Lakes 

Firewoks, LLC., notified the Coast 

Guard that it will be conducting a 

fireworks display from 10 to 10:30 p.m. 

on July 14, 2017. In the event of 

inclement weather the fireworks display 

will be on July 15, 2017. The fireworks 

are to be launched from a barge off 

Elizabeth Park, Trenton, MI. Hazards 

from firework displays include 

accidental discharge of fireworks, 

dangerous projectiles, and falling hot 

embers or other debris. The Captain of 

the Port Detroit (COTP) has determined 

that potential hazards associated with 

the fireworks to be used in this display 

would be a safety concern for anyone 

within a 350 foot radius of the fireworks 

barge. 

The purpose of this rulemaking is to 

ensure the safety of vessels and the 

navigable waters within a 350-foot 

radius of the fireworks barge, during, 

and after the scheduled event. The Coast 

Guard proposes this rulemaking under 

authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231. 

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The COTP proposes to establish a 

safety zone from 10 to 10:30 p.m. on 

July 14, 2017. In the event of inclement 

weather, the fireworks display will be 

on July 15, 2017. The safety zone would 

cover all navigable waters within 350 

feet of the fireworks launch site on the 

Detroit River, Trenton Channel, 

Trenton, MI. The duration of the zone 

is intended to ensure the safety of 

vessels and these navigable waters 

before, during, and after the scheduled 

10 to 10:30 p.m. fireworks display. No 

vessel or person would be permitted to 

enter the safety zone without obtaining 

permission from the COTP or a 

designated representative. The 

regulatory text we are proposing appears 

at the end of this document. 

IV. Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this proposed rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

Executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on a number of these statutes and 

Executive orders and we discuss First 

Amendment rights of protestors. 

A. Regulatory Planning and Review 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

direct agencies to assess the costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits. 

Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the 

importance of quantifying both costs 

and benefits, of reducing costs, of 

harmonizing rules, and of promoting 

flexibility. Executive Order 13771 

(‘‘Reducing Regulation and Controlling 

Regulatory Costs’’), directs agencies to 

reduce regulation and control regulatory 

costs and provides that ‘‘for every one 

new regulation issued, at least two prior 

regulations be identified for elimination, 

and that the cost of planned regulations 

be prudently managed and controlled 

through a budgeting process.’’ 

This NPRM has not been designated 

a ‘‘significant regulatory action,’’ under 

Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, 

the NPRM has not been reviewed by the 

Office of Management and Budget. As 

this rule is not a significant regulatory 

action, this rule is exempt from the 

requirements of Executive Order 13771. 

See OMB’s Memorandum titled 

‘‘Interim Guidance Implementing 

Section 2 of the Executive Order of 

January 30, 2017 titled ‘Reducing 

Regulation and Controlling Regulatory 

Costs’ ’’ (February 2, 2017). 

This regulatory action determination 

is based on the size, location, duration, 

and time-of-day of the safety zone. 

Vessel traffic would be able to safely 

transit around this safety zone which 

would impact a small designated area of 

the Detroit River less than 1 hour during 

the evening when vessel traffic is 

normally low. Moreover, the Coast 

Guard would issue a Broadcast Notice to 

Mariners via VHF–FM marine channel 

16 about the zone, and the rule would 

allow vessels to seek permission to enter 

the zone. 

B. Impact on Small Entities 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 

1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended, 

requires Federal agencies to consider 

the potential impact of regulations on
