40698 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 165 / Monday, August 28, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 

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 Pauls 

Valley Municipal Airport, Pauls Valley, 

OK, in support of standard instrument 

approach procedures for IFR operations 

at the airport. 

History 

The FAA published in the Federal 

Register (82 FR 17778 April 13, 2017) 

Docket No. FAA–2017–0184, a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Pauls 

Valley Municipal Airport, Pauls Valley, 

OK. 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. Subsequent to publication, the 

FAA found that the title for Class E 

airspace in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.11A was incomplete, and is 

corrected in this rule. 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 

amends Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 6.6-mile radius of Pauls Valley 

Municipal Airport, Pauls Valley, OK. 

The segment 2.6 miles each side of the 

169° bearing from the Pauls Valley NDB 

extending from the 6.6-mile radius to 

7.6 miles south of the airport is removed 

due to the decommissioning of the Pauls 

Valley NDB, and cancellation of the 

NDB approach. This action enhances 

the safety and management of the 

standard instrument approach 

procedures for IFR operations at the 

airport. 

Also, the title for paragraph 6005, as 

published in FAA Order 7400.11A, is 

corrected from ‘‘Class E Airspace Areas’’ 

to ‘‘Class E Airspace Areas Extending 

Upward from 700 feet or More Above 

the Surface of the Earth’’. 

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, would 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.

[Docket No. USCG–2017–0231] 

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Hutchinson River, New York, NY 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation 

from drawbridge regulation; 

modification. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has modified 

a temporary deviation from the 

operating schedule that governs the 

Hutchinson River Parkway Bridge 

across the Hutchinson River, mile 0.9 at 

New York, New York. This deviation is 

necessary to complete application of 

protective coating on the bridge as well 

as maintenance of operating machinery. 

This modified deviation allows the 

bridge to remain in the closed-tonavigation position for periods of up to 

two weeks in order to expedite work 

efforts. 

DATES: This deviation is effective 

without actual notice from August 28, 

2017 through 12:01 a.m. on September 

29, 2017. For the purposes of 

enforcement, actual notice will be used 

from 12:01 a.m. on August 22, 2017 

until August 28, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: The docket for this 

deviation, USCG–2017–0231 is available 

at http://www.regulations.gov. Type the 

docket number in the ‘‘SEARCH’’ box 

and click ‘‘SEARCH.’’ Click on Open 

Docket Folder on the line associated 

with this deviation. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions on this modified 

temporary deviation, call or email James 

M. Moore, Bridge Management 

Specialist, First District Bridge Branch, 

U.S. Coast Guard; telephone 212–514– 

4334, email james.m.moore2@uscg.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The New 

York City Department of Transportation, 

the owner of the bridge, requested a 

temporary deviation from the normal 

operating schedule to facilitate 

application of protective coating to the 

bridge as well as maintenance of 

operating machinery. The Hutchinson 

River Parkway Bridge, across the 

Hutchinson River, mile 0.9 at New York, 

New York has a vertical clearance of 30 

feet at mean high water and 38 feet at 

mean low water in the closed position. 

The existing drawbridge operating 

regulations are listed at 33 CFR 

117.793(b). 

On May 1, 2017, the Coast Guard 

published a temporary deviation 

entitled ‘‘Drawbridge Operation 

Regulation; Hutchinson River, New 

York, NY’’ in the Federal Register (82 

FR 20257). On July 6, 2017, the Coast 

Guard published a modified temporary 

deviation entitled ‘‘Drawbridge 

Operation Regulation; Hutchinson 

River, New York, NY’’ in the Federal 

Register (82 FR 31254). Under that 

modified temporary deviation, the draw 

of the Hutchinson River Parkway Bridge 

would remain closed to navigation for a 

period not to exceed 14 days; the draw 

would then open for vessels in 

accordance with established operating 

regulations for a period not to exceed 7 

days, after which the cycle would 

repeat. Between September 1, 2017 and 

September 29, 2017, the draw would 

remain closed to navigation for a period 

not to exceed 7 days; the draw would 

then open for vessels in accordance 

with established operation regulations 

for another 7 days, after which the cycle 

would repeat. 

In the interest of expediting work 

efforts and closing the project out this 

year, the New York City Department of 

Transportation has requested that 

between August 18, 2017 and 

September 29, 2017 the draw of the 

Hutchinson River Parkway Bridge 

remain closed to navigation for a period 

not to exceed 14 days; the draw will 

then open for vessels in accordance 

with established operating regulations 

for a period not to exceed 7 days, after 

which the cycle will repeat. 

Vessels that can pass under the bridge 

without an opening may do so at all 

times. The bridge will not be able to 

open for emergencies. There is no 

alternate route for vessels to pass. 

The Coast Guard will also inform the 

users of the waterways through our 

Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners 

of the change in operating schedule for 

the bridge so that vessel operators can 

arrange their transit to minimize any 

impact caused by the temporary 

deviation.
