ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class 

E airspace at Steele, MO. Controlled 

airspace is necessary to accommodate 

new Area Navigation (RNAV) Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures at 

Steele Municipal Airport. The FAA is 

taking this action to enhance the safety 

and management of Instrument Flight 

Rule (IFR) operations at the airport. 

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, April

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR Part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order 7400.9 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On April 22, 2014, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to 

establish Class E airspace for the Steele, 

MO, area, creating controlled airspace at 

Steele Municipal Airport (79 FR 22457) 

Docket No. FAA–2014–0154. Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this rulemaking effort by submitting 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES
37174 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 126 / Tuesday, July 1, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

written comments on the proposal to the 

FAA. No comments were received. Class 

E airspace designations are published in 

paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9X 

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 action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

establishing Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 7-mile radius of Steele 

Municipal Airport, Steele, MO, for new 

standard instrument approach 

procedures developed at the airport. 

Controlled airspace is needed for the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. 

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. Therefore, this 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 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

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 establishes 

controlled airspace at Steele Municipal 

Airport, Steele, MO. 

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.
