SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On April 8, 2010, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class D airspace for Seymour
Johnson AFB, Goldsboro, NC (75 FR 17891) Docket No. FAA-2010-0095.
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 airspace designations are published in
paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9T signed August 27, 2009, and
effective September 15, 2009, which is
[[Page 43815]]
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. The Class D 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 amends the Class D surface airspace to reflect the part-time
operations of the airport control tower, establishing in advance the
dates and times by a Notice to Airmen. 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, 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 Seymour Johnson AFB, Goldsboro, NC.
