Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Middletown, OH 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

airspace at Middletown, OH. Additional 

controlled airspace is necessary to 

accommodate new Area Navigation 

(RNAV) Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures at Middletown Regional/ 

Hook Field Airport. The airport’s nondirectional beacon’s (NDB) geographic 

coordinates are also updated, as well as 

the airport name. The FAA is taking this 

action to enhance the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rule 

(IFR) operations at the airport. 

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, June

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On November 30, 2012, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class E airspace for the 

Middletown, OH, area, creating 

additional controlled airspace at 

Middletown Regional/Hook Field 

Airport (77 FR 71364) Docket No. FAA– 

2012–0651. 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 7400.9W 

dated August 8, 2012, and effective 

September 15, 2012, 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 extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to ensure that required controlled 

airspace exists from the 6.5-mile radius 

of the airport to 12.3 miles northeast of 

the airport, 11.2 miles southwest of the 

airport, and 7 miles southwest of the 

Hook Field NDB navigation aid, to 

contain aircraft executing new standard 

instrument approach procedures at 

Middletown Regional/Hook Field 

Airport, Middletown, OH. This action 

enhances the safety and management of 

IFR operations at the airport. The 

geographic coordinates of the 

Middletown Regional/Hook Field 

airport, formerly known as Hook Field 

Airport, and the Hook Field NDB are 

also 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 

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 Middletown 

Regional/Hook Field Airport, 

Middletown, OH. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
