SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On July 19, 2010, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend controlled airspace at Deer
Park, WA (75 FR 41774). 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 6002 and
6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9U dated August 18, 2010, and
effective September 15, 2010, 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 that Order.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
Part 71 by establishing Class E surface airspace, and adding additional
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, at
Deer Park Airport, to accommodate IFR aircraft executing new RNAV (GPS)
SIAPs at the airport. This action is necessary for the safety and
management of IFR operations.
The FAA has determined 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 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 discusses 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
amends controlled airspace at Deer Park Airport, Deer Park, WA.
