Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Vivian, LA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Vivian Airport, 

Vivian, LA. This action was necessary 

due to the decommissioning of the 

Vivian non-directional radio beacon 

(NDB), cancellation of the NDB 

approach and removal of the reference 

to the Shreveport collocated VHF omnidirectional radio range tactical air 

navigation (VORTAC). This action 

enhances the safety and management of 

standard instrument approach 

procedures for instrument flight rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, October 12, 

2017. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under Title 1, Code of 

Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to 

the annual revision of FAA Order 

7400.11 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

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 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 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Vivian 

Airport, Vivian, LA, in support of IFR 

operations at the airport. 

History 

The FAA published in the Federal 

Register (82 FR 22093, May 12, 2017), 

Docket No. FAA–2017–0298 a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Vivian 

Airport, Vivian, LA. 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 paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, 

and effective September 15, 2016, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.11A, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, 

and effective September 15, 2016. FAA 

Order 7400.11A is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

modifies Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 6.3-mile radius of Vivian 

Airport. The segment within 1.4 miles 

each side of the 298° radial of the 

Shreveport VORTAC extending from the 

6.3-mile radius to 7.5 miles northwest of 

the airport is removed due to the 


pmangrum on DSK3GDR082PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 16, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 38823 

decommissioning of the Vivian NDB, 

and cancellation of the NDB approach. 

The VOR approach was previously 

redesigned to use the Vivian NDB when 

the Shreveport VORTAC was changed to 

the Belcher VORTAC, but was never 

noted in the airspace description. This 

action enhances the safety and 

management of the standard instrument 

approach procedures for IFR operations 

at the airport. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. 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. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 5–6.5.a. 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.

Special Local Regulation, Islamorada 

Grand Prix of the Seas, Islamorada, FL 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Temporary final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

establishing a special local regulation on 

the waters of the Atlantic Ocean in the 

vicinity of Islamorada, FL during the 

Islamorada Grand Prix of the Seas highspeed boat race. Approximately 70 highspeed boats and personal watercraft are 

expected to participate in the race, in 

addition to spectators. The special local 

regulation is necessary to ensure the 

safety of race participants, participant 

vessels, spectators, and the general 

public on navigable waters of the United 

States during the event. The special 

local regulation will establish two 

regulated areas: a race area and buffer 

zone; and a spectator area. This special 

local regulation prohibits nonparticipant persons and vessels from 

entering, transiting through, anchoring 

in, or remaining within the race area or 

buffer zone and prohibits vessels from 

transiting in excess of wake speed 

within the spectator area unless 

authorized by the Captain of the Port 

Key West or a designated representative. 

DATES: This rule is effective from daily 

from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on August 19, 

2017 through August 20, 2017.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background Information and 

Regulatory History 

The Coast Guard is issuing this 

temporary rule without prior notice and 

opportunity to comment pursuant to 

authority under section 4(a) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 

U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision 

authorizes an agency to issue a rule 

without prior notice and opportunity to 

comment when the agency for good 

cause finds that those procedures are 

‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for not publishing a 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 

with respect to this rule because 

insufficient time remains to publish an 

NPRM and to receive public comments, 

as the Islamorada Grand Prix event will 

occur before the rulemaking process 

would be completed. Because of the 

dangers associated with high-speed 

races in the marine environment, the 

special local regulation is necessary to 

provide for the safety of event 

participants, spectators, the general 

public, and vessels transiting the event 

area. For those reasons, it would be 

impracticable to publish an NPRM. 

For the reason discussed above, under 

5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds 

that good cause exists for making this
