50506 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 210 / Wednesday, November 1, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, 

and effective September 15, 2017, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designation 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 

modifies Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Prineville Airport, Prineville, OR. 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface is modified to 

within an 8-mile radius (from a 6.9-mile 

radius) of Prineville airport, with a 4.2- 

mile (from 10 miles) wide segment 

extending to 11.4 miles (from 12.3 

miles) west of the airport. Additionally, 

the Class E airspace extending upward 

from 1,200 feet above the surface 

designated to Prineville Airport would 

be removed since this airspace area 

duplicates the larger Bend Class E en 

route airspace area. This airspace 

redesign is necessary for the safety and 

management of aircraft 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 only affects 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 5–6.5a. 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.

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 D and E airspace in the Fort Knox, 

KY, and Louisville, KY areas, to support 

IFR operations at these airports. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (82 FR 24269, May 26, 2017) 

Docket No. FAA–2016–9499 proposing 

to remove NOTAM part-time 

information from Class E airspace 

designated as an extension to Class D 

airspace at Godman Army Airfield, Fort 

Knox, KY, and Bowman Field Airport, 

Louisville, KY. Also, the NPRM 

proposed to update the geographic 

coordinates of these airports, and 

Louisville International AirportStandiford Field. Subsequent to 

publication, the FAA found that some of 

the geographic coordinates were 

incorrect and makes the correction in 

this rule. Also, this action recognizes 

the name change of Louisville 

International Airport-Standiford Field, 

(formerly Louisville Standiford Field). 

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 D and E airspace designations 

are published in paragraphs 5000, 6002, 

6004, and 6005 of FAA Order 7400.11B 

dated August 3, 2017, and effective 

September 15, 2017, 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 the 

Order.

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

removes the NOTAM part-time status of 

the Class E airspace designated as an 

extension to a Class D surface area at 

Godman Army Airfield (AAF) Fort 

Knox, KY; and Bowman Field Airport, 

Louisville, KY. 

Also, the geographic coordinates are 

amended and corrected at these airports 

and Louisville International-Standiford 

Field Airport, KY, in Class D airspace, 

Class E surface airspace, Class E 

airspace designated as an extension to a 

Class D surface area, and Class E 

airspace areas extending upward from 

700 feet or more above the surface to be 

in concert with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. Also, the name change of 

Louisville International AirportStandiford Field, (formerly Louisville 

Standiford Field) is recognized. 

These changes are necessary for 

continued safety and management of 

IFR operations at these airports.
