SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

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 Lynchburg RegionalPreston Glenn Field Airport and Falwell 

Airport, Lynchburg, VA. 

History 

In a review of the airspace, the FAA 

found the geographic coordinates for 

Lynchburg Regional-Preston Glenn 

Field Airport and Falwell Airport as 

published in FAA Order 7400.9Z, 

Airspace Designations and Reporting 

Points, do not match the FAA’s charting 

information. This administrative change 

coincides with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database for Class E Surface Airspace. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6002 of FAA 

Order 7400.9Z dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015, 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. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.9Z, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015. FAA 

Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

adjusting the geographic coordinates at 

Lynchburg Regional-Preston Glenn 

Field Airport and Falwell Airport, 

Lynchburg, VA, to be in concert with 

the FAA’s aeronautical database. 

This is an administrative change and 

does not affect the boundaries, or 

operating requirements of the airspace, 

therefore, notice and public procedure 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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. 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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 5–6.5a. 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.

Amendment of Class E Airspace for 

the following New York Towns; Ithaca, 

NY; Poughkeepsie, NY 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

Airspace at Ithaca Tompkins Regional 

Airport, Ithaca, NY; and Kingston 

VORTAC, Poughkeepsie, NY, by 

eliminating the Notice to Airmen 

(NOTAM) part time status of the Class 

E surface airspace designated as an 

extension at the Ithaca and 

Poughkeepsie locations. This action also 

adds Dutchess County Airport to the 

Kingston VORTAC designation, updates 

the geographic coordinates of each 

navigation aid and Ithaca Tompkins 

Regional to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database, and recognizes 

the airport name for Ithaca Tompkins 

Regional Airport. This is an 

administrative change to coincide with 

the FAA’s aeronautical database.

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 the New York 

airports listed in this final rule. 

History 

In a review of the airspace, the FAA

Tompkins Regional Airport, Ithaca, NY, 

formerly Tompkins County Airport, and 

Kingston VORTAC, Poughkeepsie, NY, 

as published in FAA Order 7400.9Z, 

Airspace Designations and Reporting 

Points, does not match the FAA’s 

charting information. This 

administrative change coincides with 

the FAA’s aeronautical database for 

Class E Airspace Designated as an 

Extension to a Class D Surface Area. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraphs 6004 of FAA 

Order 7400.9Z dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be
