SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On April 27, 2010, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to establish Class E airspace for
Syracuse, KS, creating controlled airspace at Syracuse-Hamilton County
Municipal Airport (75 FR 22045) Docket No. FAA-2010-0400. 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 E airspace designations are published in paragraph
6005 of FAA Order 7400.9T signed August 27, 2009, and effective
September 15, 2009, 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 action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
Part 71 by establishing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to accommodate SIAPs at Syracuse-Hamilton County
Municipal Airport, Syracuse, KS. This action is necessary for the
safety and management of IFR operations at the airport.
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.
Therefore, this regulation: (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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 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 establishes controlled airspace at Syracuse-Hamilton County
Municipal Airport, Syracuse, KS.
