[Docket No. FAA–2014–0726; Airspace 

Docket No. 14–ASO–9] 

Amendment of Class D and E 

Airspace, and Revocation of Class E 

Airspace; Troy, AL 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

and E airspace, and removes Class E 

airspace designated as an extension at 

Troy Municipal Airport at N. Kenneth 

Campbell Field (formerly Troy 

Municipal Airport), Troy, AL. The Troy 

VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range 

(VOR) has been decommissioned, 

therefore Class E extension airspace is 

no longer needed, and new Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures have 

been developed, requiring adjustments 

in Class D airspace and Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at the airport. This action 

enhances the safety and airspace 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport. This 

action also updates the geographic 

coordinates of the airport and 

recognizes the name change of the 

airport. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, November 

10, 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 

7400.11 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 


ehiers on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 184 / Thursday, September 22, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 65277 

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 D and Class E airspace at Troy 

Municipal Airport at N. Kenneth 

Campbell Field, Troy, AL. 

History 

On June 21, 2016, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 

Class D and Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Troy Municipal Airport at N. Kenneth 

Campbell Field, formerly Troy 

Municipal Airport, Troy, AL, (81 FR 

40213) Docket No. FAA–2014–0726, as 

new Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures have been developed 

requiring airspace redesign. 

Additionally, Class E airspace 

designated as an extension to Class D 

surface area would be removed due to 

the decommissioning of the Troy VOR 

and cancellation of the VOR 

approaches. The geographic coordinates 

of the airport would be amended to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 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 

paragraphs 5000, 6004 and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11A 

dated August 3, 2016, and effective 

September 15, 2016, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and 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 

7400.11A, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, 

and effective September 15, 2016. FAA 

Order 7400.11A is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11A 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 

amends Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 7.6-mile radius of Troy 

Municipal Airport at N. Kenneth 

Campbell Field and within 2-miles each 

side of a 070° bearing from the airport 

to 11.5-miles northeast of the airport, 

and within 2-miles each side of a 253° 

bearing from the airport to 11.3-miles 

southwest of the airport. Additionally, 

Class E airspace designated as an 

extension to Class D surface area is 

removed due to the decommissioning of 

the Troy VOR and cancellation of the 

VOR approaches. The geographic 

coordinates of the airport are amended 

to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical 

database. Also, this action recognizes 

the name change of Troy Municipal 

Airport at N. Kenneth Campbell Field 

(formerly Troy Municipal Airport). 

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.
