Docket No. 13–AEA–8] 

Amendment of Class D and E 

Airspace, and Establishment of Class 

E Airspace; Salisbury, MD 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

and Class E airspace, and establishes 

Class E airspace at Salisbury-Ocean City 

Wicomico Regional Airport, Salisbury, 

MD, due to the decommissioning of the 

Salisbury VHF Omnidirectional Radio 

Range Tactical Air Navigation Aid 

(VORTAC) and cancellation of the VOR 

approach. This enhances the safety and 

management of aircraft operations at the 

airport. This action also updates the 

geographic coordinates of the airport, 

and changes the Class D city designator. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 6, 

2014. 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:

History 

On August 22, 2013, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class D and Class E surface 

area, and establish Class E airspace 

designated as an extension to a Class D 

surface area at Salisbury-Ocean City 

Wicomico Regional Airport, Salisbury, 

MD. (78 FR, 52109). 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 Class E airspace 

designations are published in 

paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004, and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9X 

dated August 7, 2013, and effective 

September 15, 2013, 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 

amends Class D airspace and Class E 

surface airspace to within a 4.3-mile 

radius of the airport. Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface is amended to within a 7- 

mile radius of the airport. Class E 

airspace designated as an extension to a 

Class D surface area airspace is 

established within a 4.3-mile radius of 

the airport, with segments extending 7 

miles southeast, northeast, and 

southwest of the airport. The geographic 

coordinates of the airport are adjusted to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. The Class D city designation is 

changed from Salisbury-Ocean City 

Wicomico Regional Airport, MD, to 

Salisbury, MD. 

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 at Salisbury-Ocean 

City Wicomico Regional Airport, 

Salisbury, MD. 

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.

On August 7, 2013, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)

at Danville Regional Airport, Danville, 

VA. (78 FR, 48079). 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 6002 of FAA 

Order 7400.9X dated August 7, 2013, 

and effective September 15, 2013, 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 surface area airspace at 

Danville Regional Airport, Danville, VA, 

within a 5-mile radius of the airport, 

with segments extending from the 5- 

mile radius to 7 miles southwest and 7 

miles northeast of the airport. Due to 

increased air traffic, controlled airspace 

is continuous 24 hours, and no longer 

effective during the specific dates and 

times established in advanced by 

NOTAM. The geographic coordinates of 

the airport also are adjusted to be in 

concert with FAAs aeronautical 

database.
