SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History 

On March 7, 2011, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to amend Class E 

airspace at Orange Municipal Airport, 

Orangeburg, SC (76 FR 12298) Docket 

No. FAA–2010–1325. 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 7400.9U 

dated August 18, 2010, and effective 

September 15, 2010, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to support new standard instrument 

approach procedures developed at 

Orangeburg Municipal Airport, 

Orangeburg, SC. Airspace 

reconfiguration is necessary due to the 

decommissioning of the Orangeburg 

NDB and cancellation of the NDB 

approach, and for continued safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. The geographic coordinates for 

the airport are being adjusted 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, 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 will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this 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. 

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 E airspace at 

Orangeburg, SC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History 

On April 19, 2011, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to amend Class E 

airspace for Mobridge, SD, creating 

additional controlled airspace at 

Mobridge Municipal Airport (76 FR 

21828) Docket No. FAA–2011–0134. 

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 7400.9U dated 

August 18, 2010, and effective 

September 15, 2010, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

Part 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 

establishing Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

for new standard instrument approach 

procedures at Mobridge Municipal 

Airport, Mobridge, SD. This action is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. Geographic coordinates are also 

being 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 will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this rule, when

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the

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
