ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action will amend Class E airspace at Arco, ID. 
Decommissioning of the Arco-Butte County Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) 
at Arco-Butte County Airport has made this action necessary for the 
safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at 
the airport. This action also would adjust the geographic coordinates 
of the airport.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On July 19, 2010, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend controlled airspace at Arco, ID 
(75 FR 41773). Interested parties were invited to participate in this 
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the 
FAA. No comments were received. Subsequent to publication, the FAA 
found the geographic coordinates of the airport needed to be adjusted. 
This action makes the adjustment. With the exception of editorial 
changes, and the changes described above, this rule is the same as that 
proposed in the NPRM.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of 
FAA Order 7400.9U dated August 18, 2010, and effective September 15, 
2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. The 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 amending Class E extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface, at Arco-Butte County Airport, Arco, ID. Decommissioning of the 
Arco-Butte County NDB has made this action necessary for the safety and 
management of IFR operations at the airport. The geographic coordinates 
of the airport also will be adjusted to coincide with the FAA's 
National Aeronautical Navigation Services.
    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 amends 
controlled airspace at Arco-Butte County Airport, Arco, ID.
