SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On March 26, 2012, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to 

modify controlled airspace at 

Bellingham, WA (77 FR 17362). 

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 paragraph 

5000, 6002 and 6004, respectively, of 

FAA Order 7400.9V dated August 9, 

2011, and effective September 15, 2011, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR Part 71.1. The Class D and Class E 

airspace designations listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in that Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

modifying Class D airspace and Class E 

airspace designated as surface area to 

meet current standards for IFR 

departures and arrivals at Bellingham 

International Airport, Bellingham, WA. 

Also, this modification removes the 

Class E airspace area designated as an 

extension to a Class D or E surface area. 

This action is necessary for the safety 

and management of aircraft departing 

and arriving under IFR operations at the 

airport. 

The FAA has determined 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 will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified this rule, when promulgated, 

will 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 

discusses 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 modifies 

controlled airspace at Bellingham 

International Airport, Bellingham, WA. 

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.

Docket No. 12–ANM–1] 

Modification of Class E Airspace; 

Billings, MT 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E 

airspace at Billings Logan International 

Airport, Billings, MT. Controlled 

airspace is necessary to accommodate 

aircraft using Area Navigation (RNAV) 

Global Positioning System (GPS) 

standard instrument approach 

procedures at Billings Logan 

International Airport. This action will 

also make a minor adjustment to the 

geographic coordinates of the airport. 

This improves the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, 

September 20, 2012. The Director of the 

Federal 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.
