14 CFR Part 71 

[Docket No. FAA–2010–0660; Airspace 

Docket No. 10–ANM–4] 

Proposed Revocation and 

Establishment of Class E Airspace; St. 

George, UT 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

remove Class E airspace at St. George 

Municipal Airport, St. George, UT, as 

the airport will be closing, eliminating 

the need for controlled airspace. This 

action also would establish Class E 

airspace for the new St. George 

Municipal Airport located to the south 

of the original airport. Controlled 

airspace is necessary to accommodate 

aircraft using a new Area Navigation 

(RNAV) Global Positioning System 

(GPS), VHF Omni-Directional Radio 

Range/Distance Measuring Equipment 

(VOR/DME), Localizer Type Directional 

Aid/Distance Measuring Equipment 

(LDA/DME) Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedures (SIAPs) at the 

new St. George Municipal Airport, St. 

George, UT. The FAA is proposing this 

action to enhance the safety and 

management of aircraft operations at the 

airport. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 13, 2010.

proposal to the U.S. Department of

Persons interested in being placed on

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 by removing Class E 

surface airspace and Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at St. George Municipal 

Airport, St. George, UT. The airport is 

closing, and SIAPs removed, 

eliminating the need for controlled 

airspace. This action also would 

establish Class E surface airspace within 

a 4.5-mile radius of the new St. George 

Municipal Airport; and Class E airspace 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at the new airport. Controlled airspace 

is necessary to accommodate aircraft 

using the new RNAV (GPS), VOR/DME 

and LDA/DME SIAPs at the new St. 

George Municipal Airport, St. George, 

UT. This action would enhance the 

safety and management of aircraft 

operations at the airport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6002 and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9T, 

signed August 27, 2009, and effective 

September 15, 2009, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in this Order. 

The FAA has determined this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 

Therefore, this proposed 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 proposed rule, when 

promulgated, would 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 for 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the agency’s 

authority. This rulemaking is 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with PROPOSALS

44728 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 145 / Thursday, July 29, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

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 the 

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 St. George 

Municipal Airport, St. George, UT.
