Establishment of Class D Airspace and 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Blackstone, VA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class 

D airspace and amends Class E airspace 

at Blackstone, VA, to accommodate the 

new air traffic control tower at Allen C 

Perkinson Blackstone Army Airfield. 

Controlled airspace is necessary for the 

safety and management of instrument 

flight rules (IFR) operations at the 

airfield. This action updates the 

geographic coordinates of the airfield’s 

Class E airspace, and adds exclusion of 

Restricted area airspace in Class D 

airspace. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, November 

13, 2014. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under title 1, Code of

the annual revision of FAA Order 

7400.9 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On May 23, 2014, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to 

establish Class D airspace and amend 

Class E airspace at Allen C Perkinson 

Blackstone Army Airfield, Blackstone, 

VA, (79–29696). 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 and E airspace designations 

are published in Paragraphs 5000 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 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 

establishes Class D airspace within a 

4.2-mile radius of Allen C Perkinson 

Blackstone Army Airfield, Blackstone, 

VA, and amends Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface within a 6.7-mile radius of 

the airfield, to support the operation of 

the new air traffic control tower. Also, 

the geographic coordinates of the 

airfield are adjusted to be in concert 

with the FAA’s aeronautical database. 

Additionally, this action amends the 

Class D description by adding the 

exclusion of that airspace within 

Restricted Area R–6602A and the 

Pickett 1 and 2 Military Operations 

Areas during the time those areas are 

active. Provisions to ensure the 

deconfliction between military activities 

and arrivals and departures at Allen C. 

Perkinson Blackstone Army Airfield 

will be specified in a Letter of 

Agreement between Air Traffic Control 

and the military using agencies. 

Except for the changes noted above, 

this rule is the same as published in the 

NPRM. 

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 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 179 / Tuesday, September 16, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 55355 

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 adds and 

amends controlled airspace at Allen C. 

Perkinson Blackstone Army Airfield, 

Blackstone, VA. 

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
