[Docket No. FAA–2010–0530; Airspace 

Docket No. 10–AWP–10] 

Amendment of Class D and Class E 

Airspace; Kaneohe, HI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule, technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

and Class E airspace at Kaneohe Bay 

Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS), 

Kaneohe, HI. The FAA is taking this 

action in response to a request from the 

National Aeronautical Navigation 

Services (NANS) to update the 

geographic coordinates of the MCAS to 

aid in the navigation of our National 

Airspace System. This action will also 

change the airport’s name. 

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, 

November 18, 2010. The Director of the 

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under 

1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual 

revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 

publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

The FAA received a request from 

NANS to better clarify the legal 

description of the existing Class D and 

Class E airspace area for the Kaneohe 

Bay MCAS. Specifically, the geographic 

coordinates of the airport need to be 

adjusted, and the airport name needs to 

be changed. This action is in response 

to that request. 

Class D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

5000, 6002 and 6005, respectively, of 

FAA Order 7400.9T signed August 27, 

2009, and effective September 15, 2009, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class D and Class E 

airspace designations listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in that Order. 

The Rule 

This action will amend Title 14 Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

by amending Class D airspace, Class E 

surface airspace and Class E airspace 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Kaneohe Bay MCAS, Kaneohe Bay, 

HI. The geographic coordinates of the 

airport will be adjusted to coincide with 

the FAA’s National Aeronautical 

Navigation Services. The airport name 

will change from Kaneohe MCAS to 

Kaneohe Bay MCAS, Kaneohe, HI. This 

is an administrative change and does 

not affect the boundaries, altitudes, or 

operating requirements of the airspace, 

therefore, notice and public procedures 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. 

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 

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 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 

discusses 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 Kaneohe Bay 

MCAS, Kaneohe, HI.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On May 17, 2010, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to amend Class E 

airspace for Perham, MN, creating 

additional controlled airspace at Perham 

Municipal Airport (75 FR 27496) Docket 

No. FAA–2010–0402. 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 7400.9T 

signed August 27, 2009, and effective 

September 15, 2009, 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 

adding additional Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface to accommodate SIAPs at 

Perham Municipal Airport, Perham, 

MN. This action is necessary for the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. 

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 Perham Municipal Airport, 

Perham, MN.
