Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Clovis, NM 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Portales 

Municipal Airport, Clovis, NM. 

Decommissioning of the Portales nondirectional radio beacon (NDB), 

cancellation of NDB approaches at 

Portales Municipal Airport, and 

implementation of area navigation 

(RNAV) procedures have made this 

action necessary for the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport. This 

action also updates the geographic 

coordinates for Portales Municipal 

Airport to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, September 

15, 2016. 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 108 / Monday, June 6, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 36141 

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 would 

amend Class E airspace at Portales 

Municipal Airport, Clovis, NM. 

History 

On March 11, 2016, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to modify Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Portales Municipal Airport, Clovis, 

NM (81 FR 12847). 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 6005 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 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 

modifies Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Portales Municipal Airport, Clovis, 

NM. With the decommissioning of the 

Portales NDB, removal of NDB 

approaches, and implementation of area 

navigation (RNAV) instrument 

approaches, the FAA is reducing the 

airspace from an 8-mile radius to a 6.6- 

mile radius of the airport in accordance 

with airspace requirements specified in 

FAA Joint Order 7400.2K. The 

geographic coordinates for Portales 

Municipal Airport are also being 

updated to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. 

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, 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. 

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.
