(2) Before using any approved AMOC, 

notify your appropriate principal inspector, 

or lacking a principal inspector, the manager 

of the local flight standards district office/

certificate holding district office. 

(3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable 

level of safety may be used for any repair, 

modification, or alteration required by this 

AD if it is approved by the Boeing 

Commercial Airplanes Organization 

Designation Authorization (ODA) that has 

been authorized by the Manager, Seattle 

ACO, to make those findings. To be 

approved, the repair method, modification 

deviation, or alteration deviation must meet 

the certification basis of the airplane, and the 

approval must specifically refer to this AD. 

(4) For service information that contains 

steps that are labeled as Required for 

Compliance (RC), the provisions of 

paragraphs (i)(4)(i) and (i)(4)(ii) of this AD 

apply. 

(i) The steps labeled as RC, including 

substeps under an RC step and any figures

comply with the AD. An AMOC is required 

for any deviations to RC steps, including 

substeps and identified figures. 

(ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be 

deviated from using accepted methods in 

accordance with the operator’s maintenance 

or inspection program without obtaining 

approval of an AMOC, provided the RC steps, 

including substeps and identified figures, can 

still be done as specified, and the airplane 

can be put back in an airworthy condition.

Amendment of Class D and Class E 

Airspace; Walla Walla, WA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class D 

airspace, Class E surface area airspace, 

Class E surface area airspace designated 

as an extension, and Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Walla Walla Regional 

Airport, Walla Walla, WA. After a 

review of the airspace, the FAA found 

it necessary to amend the airspace areas 

for the safety and management of 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations 

for arriving and departing aircraft at the 

airport. This action also updates the 

geographic coordinates of Walla Walla 

Regional Airport in the respective Class 

D and E airspace areas above. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, July 21, 

2016. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under Title 1, Code of 

Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to 

the annual revision of FAA Order 

7400.9 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

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 establishes 

controlled airspace at Walla Walla, WA. 

History 

On November 27, 2015, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to modify Class D airspace, Class E 

surface area airspace, Class E surface 

area airspace designated as an 

extension, and Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Walla Walla Regional 

Airport, Walla Walla, WA, (80 FR 

74063) Docket No. FAA–2015–3675. 

The FAA found these modifications 

necessary to ensure the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations for arriving and 

departing aircraft at the airport. 

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 7400.9Z, 

dated August 6, 2015, and effective 

September 15, 2015, which is

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 amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

modifies Class D airspace, Class E 

surface area airspace, Class E surface 

area airspace designated as an 

extension, and Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Walla Walla Regional 

Airport, Walla Walla, WA. Class D 

airspace and all Class E airspace areas 

are modified to correct geographic 

latitude and longitude (lat./long.) errors 

in the legal description. Class E airspace 

designated as an extension is modified 

to include that area within 2.7 miles 

each side of the Walla Walla Airport 

215° bearing extending from the 4.3- 

mile radius to 7.5 miles southwest of the 

airport, and that airspace within 4.1 

miles each side of the airport 035° 

bearing extending from the 4.3-mile 

radius to 13.4 miles northeast of the 

airport. Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

is modified to include that area 

bounded by a line beginning at lat. 

45°52′29′′ N., long. 118°23′027′′ W.; to 

lat. 45°49′51′′ N., long. 118°26′02′′ W.; to 

lat. 45°57′17′′ N., long. 118°40′49′′ W.; to 

lat. 46°10′22′′ N., long. 118°27′48′′ W.; to 

lat. 46°08′46′′ N., long. 118°24′32′′ W.; to 

lat. 46°14′38′′ N., long. 118°18′44′′ W.; to 

lat. 46°16′07′′ N., long. 118°21′47′′ W.; to 

lat. 46°29′20′′ N., long. 118°08′35′′ W.; to 

lat. 46°22′02′′ N., long. 117°53′24′′ W.; to 

lat. 46°14′25′′ N., long. 118°01′11′′ W.; 

and that airspace within a 13.4-mile 

radius of point in space coordinates at 

lat. 46°03′27′′ N., long. 118°12′20′′ W., 

from the 052° bearing from the Walla 

Walla Regional Airport clockwise to the 

198° bearing. 

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, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. 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.
