Proposed Establishment and 

Modification of Class E Airspace; 

Oakland, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

establish Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Metropolitan Oakland International 

Airport, Oakland, CA. Controlled 

airspace is necessary to accommodate 

aircraft using the Area Navigation 

(RNAV) Global Positioning System 

(GPS) standard instrument approach 

procedures at the airport. This action 

would also modify Class E surface 

airspace designated as an extension to 

Class C airspace by removing the 

navigation aids from the airspace 

designation. The FAA is proposing this 

action to enhance the safety and 

management of aircraft operations at the 

airport. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before August 19, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this 

proposal to the U.S. Department of

Persons interested in being placed on 

a mailing list for future NPRM’s should 

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Metropolitan 

Oakland International Airport, Oakland, 

CA, to accommodate aircraft using the 

RNAV (GPS) standard instrument 

approach procedures at the airport. This 

action would enhance the safety and 

management of aircraft operations at the 

airport. Also, for clarity for the Class E 

airspace designated as an extension to a 

Class C airspace area, the navigation 

aids would be removed from the 

regulatory text and replaced with airport 

reference points. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraphs 6003 and 6005, 

respectively, 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 designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in this Order. 

The FAA has determined this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 

Therefore, this proposed 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 proposed rule, when 

promulgated, would 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 for 

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 the 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 would 

establish and modify controlled airspace 

at Metropolitan Oakland International 

Airport, Oakland, CA. 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
