update the geographic coordinates of the airport's existing Class E
airspace.

Proposed Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the
application procedure.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish Class D airspace, Class E
surface area airspace and amend existing Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface at East Hampton Airport, East
Hampton, NY. Controlled airspace is necessary to support the operation
of the new air traffic control tower, and would enhance the safety and
management of IFR operations at the airport. Also, the geographic
coordinates would be adjusted for the airport's existing controlled
airspace area to be in concert with the FAAs aeronautical database.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in Paragraphs
5000, 6002, and 6005 respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9V, dated August
9, 2011, and effective September 15, 2011, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and E airspace designations
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
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 proposed rule, when promulgated, would 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 proposed 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 proposed regulation is within the scope
of that authority as it would establish Class D and E airspace and
amend existing Class E airspace at East Hampton Airport, East Hampton,
NY.
    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
