Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 189 / Monday, October 2, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 45721 

and effective September 15, 2017, 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 

7400.11B, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, 

and effective September 15, 2017. FAA 

Order 7400.11B is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11B 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 

establishes Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 6.3-mile radius of Ellendale 

Municipal Airport, Ellendale, ND, to 

accommodate new special instrument 

approach procedures. Controlled 

airspace is needed for the safety and 

management of 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, does 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 5–6.5a. This airspace action 

is not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exists 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

Maneuver & Fires Integration 

Experiment (MFIX) 2018 scheduled for 

December 2017. MFIX 2018 is planned 

to exercise hazardous laser operations 

conducting counter unmanned aircraft

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 the airspace necessary 

to ensure the safety of aircraft and the 

efficient use of airspace. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority as 


jstallworth on DSKBBY8HB2PROD with RULES
45722 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 189 / Monday, October 2, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 

it establishes temporary restricted 

airspace at Fort Sill, OK, enhancing 

safety and accommodating essential 

military training during the U.S. Army’s 

MFIX 2018 exercise being held 

December 4 through 15, 2017. 

History 

On February 23, 2017, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

(82 FR 11417), Docket No. FAA–2016– 

9591, to establish a temporary restricted 

area designated to support hazardous 

training activities conducted during 

MFIX 2018 within the Fort Sill, OK, 

special use airspace (SUA) complex. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal. No comments were received. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 73 

to establish temporary restricted area R– 

5602 in support of MFIX 2018 during 

the period of December 4 through 15, 

2017, to contain hazardous laser 

activities demonstrating counter UAS 

capabilities. To effectively segregate 

nonparticipant air traffic from the 

hazardous activities associated with 

MFIX 2018 at Fort Sill, OK, the R–5602 

lateral boundaries overlie the R–5601A, 

R–5601B, and a portion of R–5601F 

restricted areas and extend 

approximately 8 nautical miles (NM) 

east beyond the R–5601A and R–5601F 

eastern boundaries. R–5602 extends 

upward from 40,000 feet mean sea level 

(MSL) to 60,000 feet MSL, is activated 

daily by a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), 

and is in effect only during the period 

of December 4 through December 15, 

2017. This rule adds ‘‘daily’’ to the 

‘‘Time of designation’’ for clarity. 

Since R–5602 is a temporary area, it 

will not be depicted on the Dallas–Ft. 

Worth Sectional Aeronautical Chart or 

the IFR Enroute High Altitude Chart, H– 

6. However, a notice and graphic 

depiction will be published on the 

FAA’s SUA Web site at http://

www.faa.gov/sua and in the Notices to 

Airmen Publication (NTAP) available 

online at http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/ 

publications/notices/. 

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. It, therefore: (1) Is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a 

‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (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 of establishing a temporary 

restricted area R–5602 which partially 

overlays portions of the R–5601 

restricted area complex at Fort Sill, OK, 

qualifies for FAA adoption in 

accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

paragraphs 8–2 and 9–2, Adoption of 

Other Agencies’ National 

Environmental Policy Act Documents, 

and Written Re-evaluations, and 

7400.2L, paragraph 32–2–3. The 

purpose of temporarily creating and 

utilizing the temporary Restricted Area 

(RA) is to safely segregate private and 

commercial aircraft from above-thehorizon hazardous laser activities while 

supporting the U.S. Army MFIX 2018 

planned for November 27 through 

December 15, 2017 (the proposed 

temporary RA R–5602 would be active 

from December 4 through 15, 2017). The 

FAA, after conducting an independent 

review and evaluation of the United 

States Army’s August 2017 Final 

Supplemental Environmental 

Assessment for the Temporary Creation 

and Utilization of Restricted Area R– 

5602 at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, has 

determined that the Army’s 

Supplemental EA and its supporting 

documentation adequately assesses and 

discloses the environmental impacts of 

the proposed action, including 

evaluation of the establishment of 

airspace for temporary restricted 

airspace area R–5602. Based on the 

evaluation for potential environmental 

impact in the above-mentioned EA, the 

FAA, as the Cooperating Agency, 

concluded that adoption of the EA for 

the Temporary Creation and Utilization 

of Restricted Area R–5602 is authorized 

in accordance with 40 CFR 1506.3, 

Adoption. Accordingly, FAA adopts the 

Army’s Supplemental EA and takes full 

responsibility for the scope and content 

that address the FAA’s airspace 

establishment action.
