SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On May 25, 2011, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to establish 

controlled airspace at Kayenta, AZ (76 

FR 30299). 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 that 

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, 

at Kayenta, Airport, to accommodate 

IFR aircraft executing new RNAV (GPS) 

standard instrument approach 

procedures at the 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 

controlled airspace at Kayenta Airport, 

Kayenta, AZ.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History 

On May 20, 2011, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to modify 

controlled airspace at Fort Huachuca, 

AZ (76 FR 29179). Interested parties 

were invited to participate in this

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 145 / Thursday, July 28, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 45179 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

No comments were received. 

Class D and E airspace designations 

are published in paragraph 5000, 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 

Part 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 D airspace, and Class E 

airspace designated as an extension to 

Class D surface area, and airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface, at Fort Huachuca, AZ. The 

FAA’s biennial review of the airspace 

found additional controlled airspace 

necessary for the safety and 

management of aircraft departing and 

arriving under IFR operations at Fort 

Huachuca, Sierra Vista Municipal 

Airport-Libby Army Airfield. This 

action updates the geographic 

coordinates to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database, and changes the 

airport name from Fort Huachuca, Libby 

AAF/Sierra Vista Municipal Airport, to 

Fort Huachuca, Sierra Vista Municipal 

Airport-Libby Army Airfield. 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

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

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 creates 

additional controlled airspace at Fort

Huachuca, AZ.
