14 CFR Part 71 

[Docket No. FAA–2013–0622; Airspace 

Docket No. 13–AWP–10] 

Proposed Modification of Class D and 

Class E Airspace; Kailua-Kona, HI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

modify Class D and E airspace at Kona 

International Airport at Keahole, KailuaKona, HI. Controlled airspace is 

necessary to accommodate the Area 

Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning 

System (GPS) and the Instrument 

Landing System (ILS) or Localizer (LOC) 

standard instrument approach 

procedures at the airport. The 

geographic coordinates of the airport 

also would be adjusted in the respective 

Class D and E airspace areas, and the 

airport name will be corrected to Kona 

International Airport at Keahole. This 

action, initiated by the biennial review 

of the Kona airspace area, would 

enhance the safety and management of 

aircraft operations at the airport. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before December 16, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this 

proposal to the U.S. Department of

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking,

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying the Class 

E airspace area extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface, at Kona 

International Airport at Keahole, KailuaKona, HI. The segment of controlled 

airspace extending from the 7.4-mile 

radius of the airport is increased from 

8.5 miles to 14.5 miles south of the 

airport to accommodate the RNAV 

(GPS) and ILS or LOC standard 

instrument approach procedures. Also, 

the geographic coordinates of the airport 

would be updated to coincide with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database for the 

respective Class D and E airspace areas. 

The airport formerly called KailuaKona, Keahole Airport, Keahole Airport 

is corrected to Kona International 

Airport at Keahole. This action was 

initiated by a biennial review of the 

airspace and is necessary for the safety 

and management of aircraft operations 

at the airport. 

Class D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in 

paragraphs 5000, 6004 and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9X, 

dated August 7, 2013, and effective 

September 15, 2013, 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 this 

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’’ 

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 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 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
65242 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 211 / Thursday, October 31, 2013 / Proposed Rules 

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 proposed regulation is 

within the scope of that authority as it 

would modify controlled airspace at 

Kona International Airport at Keahole, 

Kailua-Kona, HI. 

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.
