the geographic coordinates of the 

airport.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On August 26, 2011, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 

Class E airspace for Ardmore, OK, 

reconfiguring controlled airspace at 

Ardmore Municipal Airport (76 FR 

53355) Docket No. FAA–2011–0851. 

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 7400.9V dated 

August 9, 2011, and effective September 

15, 2011, 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 designated as 

an extension to a Class D surface area, 

and Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface for the 

Ardmore, OK area. Decommissioning of 

the Arbuckle NDB and cancellation of 

the NDB approach at Ardmore 

Municipal Airport, as well as the 

creation of new RNAV standard 

instrument approach procedures, has 

made reconfiguration of the airspace 

necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. Also, this action updates the 

geographic coordinates of the airport 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 

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 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 Ardmore Municipal Airport, 

Ardmore, OK.

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 

Class E airspace for Winters, TX, 

reconfiguring controlled airspace at

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 the Winters, TX area. 

Decommissioning of the Winters NDB
