SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On December 18, 2009, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 

controlled airspace at Hoquiam, WA (74 

FR 67140). 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 6002 of FAA 

Order 7400.9T signed August 27, 2009, 

and effective September 15, 2009, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in that 

Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

changing the time of operation of Class 

E surface area airspace to continuous at 

Bowerman Airport, thereby removing 

the specific dates and times as stated in 

advance by a Notice to Airmen. This 

action also corrects the airport name 

from Bowerman Field to Bowerman 

Airport. This action is necessary for the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations. 

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 will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, will 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 discusses 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 Bowerman Airport, 

Hoquiam, WA.
