SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

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 D and Class E airspace at 

Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport, 

Charlottesville, VA. 

History 

On March 28, 2016, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class D airspace, Class E 

Surface Area Airspace, Class E Airspace 

Designated as an Extension to a Class D, 

and Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface at 

Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport, 

Charlottesville, VA (81 FR 17118). The 

Azalea Park NDB has been 

decommissioned requiring airspace 

reconfiguration at the airport. This 

action also to updates the geographic 

coordinates of the airport and 

University of Virginia Medical Center 

Heliport, and eliminates the NOTAM 

information that reads, ‘‘This Class E 

airspace area is effective during the 

specific dates and time established in 

advance by Notice to Airmen. The 

effective date and time will thereafter be 

continuously published in the Airport/ 

Facility Directory’’ from the regulatory 

text of the Class E airspace designated 

as an extension to Class D at 

Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport, 

Charlottesville, VA. 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, 6002, 

6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA 

Order 7400.9Z dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class D and E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.9Z, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015. FAA 

Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

amends Class D airspace, Class E 

Surface Area Airspace, Class E Airspace 

Designated as an Extension to a Class D, 

and Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface at 

Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport, 

Charlottesville, VA. The Azalea Park 

NDB has been decommissioned 

requiring airspace reconfiguration at the 

airport. This action also updates the 

geographic coordinates of the airport 

and University of Virginia Medical 

Center Heliport, and eliminates the 

NOTAM information that reads, ‘‘This 

Class E airspace area is effective during 

the specific dates and time established 

in advance by Notice to Airmen. The 

effective date and time will thereafter be 

continuously published in the Airport/ 

Facility Directory’’ from the regulatory 

text of the Class E airspace designated

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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. 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 


sradovich on DSK3GDR082PROD with RULES
41212 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 122 / Friday, June 24, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

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. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 5–6.5a. 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.
