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.
