necessary to ensure visual access to all 

surfaces in the inspection area. This level of 

inspection is made under normally available 

lighting conditions such as daylight, hangar 

lighting, flashlight, or droplight and may 

require removal or opening of access panels 

or doors. Stands, ladders, or platforms may 

be required to gain proximity to the area 

being checked.

12050 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 42 / Tuesday, March 4, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On December 9, 2013, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class D airspace for the St. 

Joseph, MO, area, creating additional 

controlled airspace at Rosecrans 

Municipal Airport (78 FR 73749) Docket 

No. FAA–2013–0917. 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 

airspace designations are published in 

paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9X 

dated August 7, 2013, and effective 

September 15, 2013, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

amending Class D airspace at Rosecrans 

Municipal Airport, St. Joseph, MO, to 

contain aircraft executing new standard 

instrument approach procedures at the 

airport. Accordingly, additional 

segments will extend from the 4.3-mile 

radius of the airport to 4.9 miles 

northwest and 4.5 miles southeast of the 

airport, to retain the safety and 

management of IFR aircraft in Class D 

airspace to/from the en route 

environment. 

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. Therefore, this 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 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

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 amends 

controlled airspace at Rosecrans 

Municipal Airport, St. Joseph, MO. 

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: 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of

adjusting the geographic coordinates, 

within Class D airspace, of St. Paul 

Downtown Airport/Holman Field, and 

South St. Paul Municipal AirportRichard E. Fleming Field, St. Paul, MN, 

to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. This is an administrative 

change and does not affect the 

boundaries, altitudes, or operating 

requirements of the airspace, therefore, 

notice and public procedures under 5 

U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
