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

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Santa Rosa, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Charles M. 

Schulz-Sonoma County Airport, Santa 

Rosa, CA. The FAA found modification 

of the airspace area above 1,200 feet is 

no longer needed for standard 

instrument approach procedures at the 

airport. This action is necessary for the 

safety and management of Instrument 

Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the 

airport. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, October 15, 

2015. 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 modifies 

controlled airspace at Santa Rosa, CA. 

History 

On May 27, 2015, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at the Charles 

M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport, 

Santa Rosa, CA (80 FR 30182). 

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 E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005, 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 

modifies Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County 

Airport, Santa Rosa, CA. After a review 

of the airspace, the FAA found removal 

of the Class E airspace area above 1,200 

feet necessary as this airspace is no 

longer required for standard instrument 

approach procedures at the airport. This 

action enhances the safety and

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 1050.1E, ‘‘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.

Amendment of VOR Federal Airways; 

Northeastern United States 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective 

date, and correction. 

SUMMARY: This action changes the 

effective date of a final rule published 

in the Federal Register on June 9, 2015, 

amending VOR Federal airways V–31, 

V–36, V–98, V–164 and V–252 in the 

northeastern United States. The FAA is 

taking this action to link the effective 

date of the airway amendments with the 

completion of the development of 

associated en route procedures. In 

addition, this action corrects the 

description of Federal airway V–36 by 

restoring certain segments of that route 

that were removed in the final rule. 

DATES: The effective date of the final 

rule published on June 9, 2015, is 

delayed from August 20, 2015, to 

October 15, 2015. The Director of the 

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under 

1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual 

revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 

publication of conforming amendments. 

ADDRESSES: FAA Order 7400.9Y,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Docket No. FAA–2015–1650, Airspace 

Docket No. 14–AEA–8, published in the 

Federal Register on June 9 2015 (80 FR 

32464), amends VOR Federal airways 

V–31, V–36, V–98, V–164 and V–252 by 

removing certain segments in Canadian 

airspace. The development of associated 

en route procedures are planned for 

October 15, 2015, therefore the rule 

amending these airways is delayed until 

that date. 

Additionally, subsequent to 

publication of the final rule, it was 

determined that an error was made in 

the description of Federal airway V–36, 

whereby the airway segments between 

Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, and the 

intersection of radials from the Wiarton, 

Ontario, Canada, and the Toronto, 

Ontario, Canada, navigation aids were 

inadvertently removed. This action 

corrects the description of V–36 by 

reinserting the missing airway segments. 

Domestic VOR Federal Airways are 

published in paragraph 6010(a) 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 VOR Federal Airway listed in 

this document will be published 

subsequently in the Order.
