Docket No. 13–ANE–2] 

Proposed Amendment of Class E 

Airspace, Berlin, NH 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Class E airspace at Berlin, NH, 

due to the addition of a localizer 

performance with vertical guidance 

function (LPV) instrument procedure to 

runway 18 being created for Berlin 

Regional Airport (formerly Berlin 

Municipal Airport). This action also 

would update the geographic 

coordinates of the airport to coincide 

with the FAA’s aeronautical database, 

and would enhance the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

operations (IFR) at the airport. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before December 18, 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 E airspace at Berlin

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

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 Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet or more above the surface 

within a 10.5-mile radius of Berlin 

Regional Airport, Berlin, NH, due to the 

addition of LPV instrument procedures 

to runway 18. The Berlin VOR/DME 

navigation aid is no longer needed to 

define the airspace. Additionally, the 

geographic coordinates of the airport 

would be adjusted to coincide with the 

FAAs aeronautical database. Also, this 

action would update the airport name to 

Berlin Regional Airport. 

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 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed 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 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 

proposed 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 

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.
