SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, 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 updates the 

description of the Class C airspace area 

at Syracuse Hancock International 

Airport, NY. 

History 

On March 28, 2016, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice proposing to remove a cutout 

from the description of the Syracuse 

Hancock International Airport, NY, 

Class C surface area (81 FR 17113), FR 

Doc. 2016–06833. Interested parties 

were invited to participate in this 

rulemaking effort by submitting written 

comments on the proposal. No 

comments were received. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.9Z, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015. FAA 

Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

final rule. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

modifies the Syracuse Hancock 

International Airport Class C airspace 

area by removing a cutout from the 

Class C surface area. The cutout 

excluded the airspace within a 0.75- 

nautical mile radius of the former 

Michael Field/Onondaga Flight School 

Airport. The sole purpose of the 

exclusion was to allow aircraft to 

operate freely to and from the airport 

without the need to contact air traffic 

control. Since the former airport is now 

permanently closed, the purpose for the 

exclusion no longer exists; therefore, the 

FAA is removing the words ‘‘. . . 

excluding that airspace within a 0.75- 

mile radius of Michael Field/Onondaga 

Flight School Airport . . .;’’ as well as 

the words ‘‘Michael Field/Onondaga 

Flight School Airport, NY (lat. 43°10′45′′ 

N., long. 76°07′29′′ W.),’’ from the Class 

C airspace description. 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 157 / Monday, August 15, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 53913 

Class C airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 4000 of FAA 

Order 7400.9Z dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class C airspace 

designation 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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act, and its agency implementing 

regulations in FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ regarding categorical 

exclusions for procedural actions at 

paragraph 5–6.5a which categorically 

excludes from full environmental 

impact review rulemaking actions that 

designate or modify classes of airspace 

areas, airways, routes, and reporting 

points. Since this action does not 

change the boundaries, altitudes, or 

operating requirements of the Class C 

airspace area, and only amends the 

Syracuse Hancock International Airport, 

NY, Class C airspace by removing a 

cutout from the Class C surface area that 

had been incorporated to accommodate 

operations at the former Michael Field/ 

Onondaga Flight School Airport which 

is now permanently closed, this 

airspace action is not expected to cause 

any potentially significant 

environmental impacts. In accordance 

with FAAO 1050.1F, paragraph 5–2 

regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, 

this action has been reviewed for factors 

and circumstances in which a normally 

categorically excluded action may have 

a significant environmental impact 

requiring further analysis, and it is 

determined that no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment.
