[Docket No. FAA–2017–0825; Airspace 

Docket No. 17–ASW–12] 

Proposed Amendment of Class D 

Airspace and Establishment of Class E 

Airspace; Norman, OK; and 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Oklahoma City, OK 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Class D airspace and establish 

Class E airspace designated as a surface 

area at University of Oklahoma 

Westheimer Airport, Norman, OK. The 

University of Oklahoma Westheimer 

Airport requested establishment of this 

airspace. This action would also amend 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at the 

University of Oklahoma Westheimer 

Airport, Norman, OK, contained within 

the Oklahoma City, OK, airspace 

description, by removing the Oklahoma 

Westheimer Airport ILS localizer and 

realigning the southwest segment. 

Additionally, the name of the University 

of Oklahoma Westheimer Airport would 

be updated to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database in Class D 

airspace. This action is necessary for the 

safety and management of instrument 

flight rules (IFR) operations at the 

airport.

or before November 13, 2017.

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 would 

amend Class D airspace, establish Class 

E airspace designated as a surface area, 

and amend Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at the University of Oklahoma 

Westheimer Airport, Norman, OK, to 

support instrument flight rule (IFR) 

operations at the airport. 

Comments Invited 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in this proposed rulemaking 

by submitting such written data, views,

44982 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 27, 2017 / Proposed Rules 

Westheimer Airport (formerly 

University of Oklahoma Westheimer 

Airpark), Norman, OK, and updating the 

name of the airport to coincide with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database; 

Establishing Class E airspace 

designated as a surface area within a 

4.2-mile radius of University of 

Oklahoma Westheimer Airport; and 

Amending Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at University of Oklahoma, Westheimer 

Airport, Norman, OK, contained within 

the Oklahoma City, OK, airspace 

description, to within a 6.7-mile radius 

(reduced from 8.9-miles), removing the 

University of Oklahoma Westheimer 

Airport ILS Localizer from the airspace 

description, and realigning the 

southwest extension to 2-miles 

(increased from 1.8-miles) either side of 

the 213° bearing from the airport 

(previously referenced from the 

University of Oklahoma Westheimer 

Airport ILS Localizer) from the 6.7-mile 

radius to 7.8-miles southwest of the 

airport. 

Class D and E airspace designations 

are published in paragraph 5000, 6002, 

and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, and 

effective September 15, 2017, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

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 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
