28306 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 95 / Tuesday, May 17, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

and effective September 15, 2010, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in that 

Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

modifying Class E extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface, at 

Livermore Municipal Airport, 

Livermore, CA, to accommodate IFR 

aircraft executing new ILS LOC standard 

instrument approach procedures at the 

airport, and adds the airport name and 

geographic coordinates to the airspace 

designation. Also, this action corrects a 

typographic error in the regulatory text 

of the Class D airspace area by 

correcting the word ‘iport’ to ‘Airport’. 

This action is necessary for the safety 

and management of IFR operations. 

The FAA has determined 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 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 

discusses 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 establishes 

additional controlled airspace at 

Livermore Municipal Airport, 

Livermore, CA.

Amendment of Class D and Class E 

Airspace; Idaho Falls, ID 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends existing 

Class D and Class E airspace at Idaho 

Falls, ID, by changing the name of the 

airport to Idaho Falls Regional Airport, 

and adjusting the geographic 

coordinates of the airport. This action 

also adds additional Class E airspace 

necessary to accommodate aircraft using 

new Area Navigation (RNAV) Required 

Navigation Performance (RNP) standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Idaho Falls Regional Airport. This 

improves the safety and management of 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations 

at the airport. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, August 

25, 2011. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order 7400.9 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On February 17, 2011, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 

controlled airspace at Idaho Falls, ID (76 

FR 9266). 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 D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

5000, 6002, 6004 and 6005, respectively, 

of FAA Order 7400.9U dated August 18, 

2010, and effective September 15, 2010, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class D and Class E 

airspace designations listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in that Order. With the 

exception of editorial changes, this rule 

is the same as that proposed in the 

NPRM.

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

amending Class D and Class E airspace 

by changing the airport name from 

Fanning Field to Idaho Falls Regional 

Airport, and adjusts the geographic 

coordinates of the airport to be in 

concert with the FAA’s Aeronautical 

Products Office. Also, existing Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface, at Idaho Falls 

Regional Airport is modified to 

accommodate aircraft using new RNAV 

(RNP) standard instrument approach 

procedures. This action is necessary for 

the safety and management of IFR 

operations. 

The FAA has determined this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are

current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

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 this rule, when promulgated, 

will not have a significant economic
