SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On December 15, 2014 the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to establish Class E en route domestic 

airspace at the Hazen VORTAC, Hazen, 

NV (79 FR 74042). Interested parties 

were invited to participate in this 

rulemaking effort by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

One comment was received from the 

National Business Aviation Association 

in support of the proposal. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6006, of FAA 

Order 7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014, 

and effective September 15, 2014, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designation 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 

7400.9Y, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, 

and effective September 15, 2014. FAA 

Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

final rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y 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 

establishes Class E en route domestic 

airspace extending upward from 1,200 

feet above the surface at the Hazen 

VORTAC navigation aid, Hazen, NV. By 

this action, aircraft are contained while 

in IFR conditions under control of 

Oakland ARTCC by vectoring aircraft 

from en route airspace to terminal areas. 

This action enhances the safety and 

management of controlled airspace 

within the NAS. 

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. 

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 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 49 / Friday, March 13, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 13207 

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 the Hazen 

VORTAC, Hazen, NV. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On November 19, 2014 the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to establish Class E en route domestic 

airspace at Seattle, WA (79 FR 68807). 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. Two comments 

were received on the proposal, one from 

the National Business Aviation 

Association supporting the proposal and 

identifying a latitude typographical 

error, and one by Tim Gravelle, also 

identifying the same latitude 

typographical error. Subsequent to 

publication, the FAA found an 

inadvertent omission of exclusionary 

language regarding the 12-mile offshore 

territorial limit. These errors have been 

corrected in this document. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6006, of FAA 

Order 7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014, 

and effective September 15, 2014, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order.
