Proposed Amendment of Class D and 

Class E Airspace; Stockton, CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

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 

amend controlled airspace at Stockton 

Metropolitan Airport, Stockton, CA. 

Comments Invited 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in this proposed rulemaking 

by submitting such written data, views, 

or arguments, as they may desire. 

Comments that provide the factual basis 

supporting the views and suggestions 

presented are particularly helpful in 

developing reasoned regulatory 

decisions on the proposal. Comments 

are specifically invited on the overall 

regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 

environmental, and energy-related 

aspects of the proposal. 

Communications should identify both 

docket numbers and be submitted in 

triplicate to the address listed above.

Availability and Summary of 

Documents Proposed for Incorporation 

by Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

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 proposed 

rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists Class A, 

B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic 

service routes, and reporting points. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class D 

airspace, Class E surface area airspace, 

and Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface at 

Stockton Metropolitan Airport, 

Stockton, CA. Decommissioning of the 

Manteca VOR/DME and subsequent 

review of the airspace revealed that 

airspace redesign is necessary for the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations for standard instrument 

approach procedures at the airport. The 

Class D and Class E surface areas would 

be expanded to within a 4.5-mile radius 

of Stockton Metropolitan Airport. The 

Class D extension to the southeast 

would be removed as it is no longer 

required for aircraft arriving and 

departing under IFR operations. Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface would be 

modified to within a 7-mile radius of 

Stockton Metropolitan Airport. 

Class D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

5000, 6002, and 6005, respectively, 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 D and Class E 

airspace designations listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the 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. 

Environmental Review 

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.
