[Docket No. FAA–2013–0565; Airspace 

Docket No. 13–AEA–11] 

Amendment of Class D and E 

Airspace; Wrightstown, NJ 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule, technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

and E Airspace at Wrightstown, NJ, by 

updating the geographic coordinates 

and changing the city identifier of 

McGuire Air Force Base (AFB) to aid in 

the navigation of our National Airspace 

System. This action is necessary for the 

continued safety and management of 

instrument flight rules (IFR) operations 

within the Wrightstown, NJ airspace 

area. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, October 

17, 2013. 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: 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends Class D airspace and E airspace 

designated as an extension to a Class D 

surface area at McGuire AFB, 

Wrightstown, NJ, at the request of FAAs 

Aeronautical Products. The geographic 

coordinates of the airport are updated to 

be in concert with the FAAs 

aeronautical database and the city 

designation is changed from 

Wrightstown McGuire AFB, NJ, to 

Wrightstown, NJ. Accordingly, since 

this is an administrative change, and 

does not affect the boundaries, altitudes, 

or operating requirements of the 

airspace, notice and public procedures 

under 5 U.S.C. 553 (b) are unnecessary. 

The Class D and E airspace 

designations are published in Paragraph 

5000 and 6004 respectively of FAA 

Order 7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012, 

and effective September 15, 2012, 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 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 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 for the 

Wrightstown, NJ airspace area. 

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.

Plattsburgh, NY 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

Airspace at Plattsburg, NY, as the 

Clinton County Airport has closed and 

controlled airspace removed. New Class 

E Airspace at Plattsburgh International 

Airport is created to accommodate 

standard instrument approach 

procedures developed at the airport. 

Airspace reconfiguration is necessary 

for the safety and airspace management 

of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 

operations at the airport. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, December 

12, 2013. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On May 7, 2013, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to remove 

controlled airspace at Clinton County 

Airport, Plattsburgh, NY, due to the 

airport’s closure, and establish Class E 

airspace at Plattsburgh International 

Airport, Plattsburgh, NY (78 FR 26557). 

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 7400.9W dated August 8, 2012, 

and effective September 15, 2012, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

by removing the controlled airspace for 

Clinton County Airport due to the 

airport’s closure, and creates controlled 

airspace within a 12.6-mile radius of 

Plattsburgh International Airport, 

Plattsburgh, NY. Airspace 

reconfiguration is necessary for the 

continued safety and management of 

IFR operations at the airport. 

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 

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 for the Plattsburgh, 

NY, airspace area. 

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.
