Jacksonville Cecil Field Class D airspace 

area. Additional controlled airspace is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations at Jacksonville NAS.

NPRMs should contact the FAA’s Office 

of Rulemaking, (202) 267–9677, to 

request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 

11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

Distribution System, which describes 

the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend 

Class D airspace at Jacksonville NAS, 

FL. The current Class D airspace 

supporting IFR operations must be 

extended to contain operations at 

Jacksonville NAS. This proposed action 

would provide the additional controlled 

airspace, extending upward from the 

surface to support IFR operations 

between Jacksonville NAS and 

Jacksonville Cecil Field. Class D 

airspace designations are published in 

Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9R, 

dated August 15, 2007, and effective 

September 15, 2007, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D airspace designation 

listed in this document would be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 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 will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that 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 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 


rmajette on PROD1PC64 with PROPOSALS
69640 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 236 / Monday, December 10, 2007 / Proposed Rules 

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 has been determined the Class D 

airspace at Jacksonville Naval Air 

Station (NAS), FL should be extended to 

join the Jacksonville Cecil Field Class D 

airspace area.
