Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

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 document. 

FAA Order 7400.9Z lists Class A, B, C, 

D, and E airspace areas, air traffic 

service routes, and reporting points. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 to modify the Capital 

Region International Airport Class C 

airspace area by removing the cutout 

from the Class C surface area that 

excluded the airspace within a 1-mile 

radius of the former Davis Airport and 

the airspace 1 mile either side of the 

090° bearing from the former Davis 

Airport. The exclusion from the Class C 

surface area was in place solely to 

accommodate operations at Davis 

Airport, which was located about 3.5 

NM east of the Capital Region 

International Airport. Davis Airport was 

permanently closed in 2000, and 

removed from the FAA’s aeronautical 

database in 2006. Since the original 

purpose of the exclusion no longer 

exists, the FAA is proposing to remove 

the words ‘‘. . . excluding that airspace 

within a 1-mile radius of the Davis 

Airport and excluding that airspace 1 

mile either side of the 090° bearing from 

Davis Airport to the 5-mile radius from 

Capital City Airport . . .’’ from the 

Class C airspace description. This 

would restore the Class C surface area 

to a standard configuration of a 5–NM 

radius around Capital Region 

International Airport and enhance the 

management of aircraft operations at the 

airport. 

Also, this action would update the 

airport name and geographic 

coordinates to reflect the current 

information in the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. This change would replace 

‘‘Capital City Airport’’ with ‘‘Capital 

Region International Airport’’ and 

replace ‘‘lat. 42°46′43′′ N., long. 

84°35′15′′ W.’’ with ‘‘lat. 42°46′43′′ N., 

long. 84°35′10′′ W.’’ 

Class C airspace areas 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 

71.1. The Class C airspace area 

modification proposed in this document 

would be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. It, 

therefore: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant 

rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (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 proposed 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. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
