Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the 

authority of the FAA Administrator.

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 would 

amend Class D and Class E airspace at 

McNary Field, Salem, OR.

Availability and Summary of 

Documents Proposed for Incorporation 

by Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

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 proposed 

rule. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists Class A, 

B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic 

service routes, and reporting points. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class D 


rmajette on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
56936 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 182 / Monday, September 21, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

airspace, Class E surface area airspace, 

and Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface at 

McNary Field, Salem, OR. A review of 

the airspace revealed the expanded 

airspace is not required for standard 

instrument approach procedures for IFR 

operations at the airport. Class D 

airspace would extend upward from the 

surface within a 4-mile radius northeast 

of McNary Field, with a segment 

extending from the 4-mile radius to 5 

miles from the east to the northwest. 

Class E surface area airspace would 

extend upward from the surface within 

a 4-mile radius northeast of McNary 

Field, with a segment extending from 

the 4-mile radius of the airport to 5 

miles from the east to the northwest. 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface would be 

modified to within a 6.2-mile radius 

south to the northwest of McNary Field, 

with segments extending to 6.7 miles to 

the northeast, and 8.2 miles to the 

southeast of the airport. 

Class D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

5000, 6002, 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 71.1. The Class D and Class E 

airspace designations listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 

Therefore, this proposed 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 this proposed rule, when 

promulgated, would not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
