Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Hamilton, OH 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

airspace at Hamilton, OH. 

Decommissioning of the Hamilton nondirectional radio beacon (NDB) at Butler 

County Regional Airport has made 

reconfiguration necessary for standard 

instrument approach procedures and for 

the safety and management of 

Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations 

at the airport. The airport’s name and 

geographic coordinates are also 

adjusted. 

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, May 

29, 2014. 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 

On December 9, 2013, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class E airspace for the 

Hamilton, OH, area, creating additional 

controlled airspace at Butler County 

Regional Airport (78 FR 73750) Docket 

No. FAA–2013–0593. 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 7400.9X 

dated August 7, 2013, and effective 

September 15, 2013, 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 

amending Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

for standard instrument approach 

procedures at Butler County Regional 

Airport, formerly Hamilton-Fairfield 

Airport, Hamilton, OH. Airspace 

reconfiguration to within a 6.6-mile 

radius of the airport is necessary due to 

the decommissioning of the Hamilton 

NDB and the cancellation of the NDB 

approach. Controlled airspace is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. Geographic coordinates are 

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 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. 

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 Butler County 

Regional Airport, Hamilton, OH. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

airspace at Lawrenceville, IL. 

Decommissioning of the Mount Carmel 

non-directional radio beacon (NDB) at 

Mount Carmel Municipal Airport has 

made reconfiguration necessary for 

standard instrument approach 

procedures and for the safety and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On October 1, 2013, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class E airspace for the 

Lawrenceville, IL, area, modifying 

controlled airspace at Mount Carmel 

Municipal Airport (78 FR 60236) Docket 

No. FAA–2013–0590. 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 7400.9X 

dated August 7, 2013, and effective 

September 15, 2013, 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. 

Except for an administrative change 

clarifying removal of the southwest 

segment of airspace, this rule is the 

same as published in the NPRM. 

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 for standard instrument approach 

procedures at Lawrenceville, IL. 

Airspace reconfiguration is necessary 

due to the decommissioning of the 

Mount Carmel NDB and the cancellation 

of the NDB approach, thereby removing 

the 7-mile southwest segment extending 

from the 6.5-mile radius of Mount 

Carmel Municipal Airport. The south 

extension remains unchanged. 

Controlled airspace is necessary for the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. Geographic 

coordinates of the airport also are 

updated to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. 

The FAA has determined that this
