SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The Point in Space in the legal description of the Class E airspace 
area for Jeannette, PA serves both the Monsour Medical Center Heliport 
and the Jeannette District Hospital Heliport. The FAA is removing 
reference only to the Jeannette District Hospital Heliport. This change 
does not affect the boundaries, altitudes, or operating requirements of 
the airspace, therefore, notice and public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 
553(b) are unnecessary.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface at Jeannette, PA, by removing the Jeannette District 
Hospital Heliport reference from the legal description. The Point in 
Space within the legal description will continue to serve Monsour 
Medical Center Heliport.
    The Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005 
of FAA order 7400.9U, signed August 18, 2010, and effective September 
15, 2010, 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.
    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, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act.
    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 controlled airspace at Jeannette, PA.
