SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    FAA Order 7400.9X, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, 
effective September 15, 2013, listed Class A, B, C, D and E airspace 
areas; air traffic service routes; and reporting points. Due to the 
length of these descriptions, the FAA requested approval from the 
Office of the Federal Register to incorporate the material by reference 
in the Federal Aviation Regulations section 71.1, effective September 
15, 2013, through September 15, 2014. During the incorporation by 
reference period, the FAA processed all proposed changes of the 
airspace listings in FAA Order 7400.9X in full text as proposed rule 
documents in the Federal Register. Likewise, all amendments of these 
listings were published in full text as final rules in the Federal 
Register. This rule reflects the periodic integration of these final 
rule amendments into a revised edition of Order 7400.9Y, Airspace 
Designations and Reporting Points. The Director of the Federal Register 
has approved the incorporation by reference of FAA Order 7400.9Y in 
section 71.1, as of September 15, 2014, through September 15, 2015. 
This rule also explains the procedures the FAA will use to amend the 
airspace designations incorporated by reference in part 71. Sections 
71.5, 71.15, 71.31, 71.33, 71.41, 71.51, 71.61, 71.71, and 71.901 are 
also updated to reflect the incorporation by reference of FAA Order 
7400.9Y.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 to reflect the approval by the Director of the Federal Register 
of the incorporation by reference of FAA Order 7400.9Y, effective 
September 15, 2014, through September 15, 2015. During the 
incorporation by reference period, the FAA will continue to process all 
proposed changes of the airspace listings in FAA Order 7400.9Y in full 
text as proposed rule documents in the Federal Register. Likewise, all 
amendments of these listings will be published in full text as final 
rules in the Federal Register. The FAA will periodically integrate all 
final rule amendments into a revised edition of the Order, and submit 
the revised edition to the Director of the Federal Register for 
approval for incorporation by reference in section 71.1.
    The FAA has determined that this action: (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. This 
action neither places any new restrictions or requirements on the 
public, nor changes the dimensions or operation requirements of the 
airspace listings incorporated by reference in part 71.
