[Docket No. FAA–2015–7487; Airspace 

Docket No. 15–ACE–7] 

Amendment of Class D and E Airspace 

and Revocation of Class E Airspace; 

Sioux City, IA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class 

D and E airspace areas at Sioux 

Gateway/Col. Bud Day Field, Sioux 

City, IA, due to the decommissioning of 

the Gateway non-directional radio 

beacon (NDB) and cancellation of the 

NDB approaches at the airport. The 

Class E airspace area designated as an 

extension is being removed as it is no 

longer needed. Advances in Global 

Positioning System (GPS) capabilities 

have made this action necessary for the 

safety and management of Instrument 

Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the 

airport. This action also updates the 

geographic coordinates for Martin Field, 

NE., to coincide with the FAAs 

aeronautical database. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, January 5, 

2017. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under Title 1, Code of 

Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to 

the annual revision of FAA Order 

7400.11 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

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 amends 

Class D and E airspace at Sioux 

Gateway/Col. Bud Day Field, Sioux 

City, IA. 

History 

On April 13, 2016, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify 

Class D airspace, Class E surface area 

airspace and Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Sioux Gateway/Col. Bud Day Field, 

Sioux City, IA (81 FR 21772) FAA– 

2015–7487. The Class E airspace area 

designated as an extension also would 

be removed as the extension is no longer 

needed. Interested parties were invited 

to participate in this rulemaking effort 

by submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. One comment was 

received from Thomas Glennon, 

Aeronautical Information Services, 

citing a correction to the geographic 

coordinates for Martin Field, South 

Sioux City, NE., which has been 

incorporated into this final rule. 

Class D and E airspace designations 

are published in paragraph 5000, 6002, 

6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA 

Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, 

and effective September 15, 2016, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.11A, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, 

and effective September 15, 2016. FAA 

Order 7400.11A is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists 


ehiers on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
65268 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 184 / Thursday, September 22, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

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 Class E surface area airspace 

and Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface at Sioux 

Gateway/Col. Bud Day Field, Sioux 

City, IA. The Class E airspace area 

designated as an extension also would 

be removed as the extension is no longer 

needed. After review, the FAA found 

that due to the decommissioning of the 

Gateway NDB, cancellation of the NDB 

approaches at the airport, advances in 

GPS capabilities, and implementation of 

RNAV procedures at Sioux Gateway/ 

Col. Bud Day Field, the Class E airspace 

designated as a surface area no longer 

requires extensions and is reduced to 

within a 4.3-mile radius of the airport; 

the Class E airspace designated as an 

extension to the Class D or Class E 

surface area is removed; and the Class 

E airspace area extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at the airport 

is reduced from a 7-mile radius to a 6.8- 

mile radius, with the northwest 

extension increased from 3 miles to 3.9 

miles each side of the Sioux City 

VORTAC 319° radial extending from the 

6.8-mile radius to 14.4 miles vice 25.3 

miles; the northwest extension remains 

unchanged 4 miles each side of the 001° 

bearing from the airport from the 6.8- 

mile radius to 12 miles. The extensions 

to the southeast and northwest on the 

Sioux City VORTAC 316° radial are no 

longer required. All modifications to the 

Class E airspace are in accordance with 

airspace requirements specified in FAA 

Joint Order 7400.2K. This action is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations under 

standard instrument approach 

procedures at the airport. The 

geographic coordinates for Martin Field, 

South Sioux City, NE., are amended for 

the existing Class D and E airspace 

areas. 

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 in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 5–6.5.a. This airspace action 

is not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
