SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On January 31, 2012, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class E airspace for the 

Leesville, LA, area, creating additional 

controlled airspace at Leesville Airport 

(77 FR 4702) Docket No. FAA–2011– 

0608. 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 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 accommodate new standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Leesville Airport, Leesville, LA. This 

action is necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. Geographic coordinates are also 

updated 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 

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 Leesville Airport, 

Leesville, LA.
