SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On October 26, 2010, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 

Class E airspace 700 feet above the 

surface, at Savannah, TN (75 FR 65584) 

Docket No. FAA–2010–1047. 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 7400.9U 

dated August 18, 2010, and effective 

September 15, 2010, 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 

to support new SIAPs developed at 

Savannah-Hardin County Airport, 

Savannah, TN. Airspace reconfiguration 

is necessary due to the 

decommissioning of the Pinhook NDB 

and cancellation of the NDB approach, 

and for continued safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. This action also updates the 

geographic coordinates of the airport to 

coincide with the FAAs Aeronautical 

Products. 

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 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 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 Class E airspace at Savannah, 

TN.
