SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On November 9, 2009, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to establish additional controlled
airspace at Rawlins, WY (74 FR 57621). 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 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 that Order.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by amending the Class E airspace for the Rawlins, WY, area
adding additional controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to accommodate IFR aircraft executing a new RNAV
(GPS) approach procedure at Rawlins Municipal/Harvey Field, Rawlins,
WY. This action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR
operations at the airport.
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 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 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
additional controlled airspace at Rawlins Municipal/Harvey Field,
Rawlins, WY.
