Docket No. 13–ANM–22] 

Modification of Class E Airspace; Cut 

Bank, MT 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E 

airspace at Cut Bank, MT, to 

accommodate new Area Navigation 

(RNAV) Global Positioning System 

(GPS) standard instrument approach 

procedures at Cut Bank Municipal 

Airport. This improves the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport. This 

action also adjusts the geographic 

coordinates of the airport. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, 

February 6, 2014. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On August 22, 2013, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to modify controlled airspace at Cut 

Bank, MT (78 FR 52112). 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 paragraphs 6002 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 E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in that Order. 

Except for editorial changes this rule is 

the same as published in the NPRM. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

modifying Class E surface area airspace 

and Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700/1,200 feet above the surface, at 

Cut Bank Municipal Airport, Cut Bank, 

MT, to accommodate new RNAV (GPS) 

standard instrument approach 

procedures at the airport. The segment 

of the Class E surface area airspace 

expands from the 4.7-mile radius of the 

airport to 11 miles southeast of the 

airport; the segment of the Class E 

airspace area extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface expands from 

the 7.9-mile radius of the airport to 18.4 

miles southeast and 12.6 miles south of 

the airport; and a sector is added 

surrounding the airport extending 

upward from 1,200 feet above the 

surface. This action is necessary for the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. The geographic 

coordinates of the airport are adjusted in 

accordance with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database for the respective Class E 

airspace areas. 

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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified 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 

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 Cut Bank 

Municipal Airport, Cut Bank, MT. 

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,’’ 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

67300 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 218 / Tuesday, November 12, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

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.
