14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2017-1159; Airspace Docket No. 17-ASO-23]
RIN 2120-AA66

Amendment of Class D Airspace and Class E Airspace; Jacksonville,
NC and Establishment of Class D Airspace; Jacksonville, NC

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D airspace at New River Marine Corps
Air Station (MCAS), at Jacksonville, NC, by removing Albert J. Ellis
Airport, Jacksonville, NC, from the legal description, and establishing
Albert J. Ellis Airport under its own designation. This is an editorial
change that continues to provide the controlled airspace required for
the new air traffic control tower at Albert J. Ellis Airport for the
safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations. This
action also updates the geographic coordinates of New River MCAS in
Class D and E airspace, replaces the outdated term ``Airport/Facility
Directory'' with the term ``Chart Supplement'', and makes an editorial
change to the airspace designation.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, November 8, 2018. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
title 1 Code of Federal Regulations part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    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 Class D and E airspace at New River MCAS, and establishes
Class D airspace at Albert J. Ellis Airport, Jacksonville, NC, to
support IFR operations at these airports.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the
Federal Register (83 FR 9243, March 5, 2018) for Docket No. FAA-2017-
1159 to amend Class D airspace, and Class E airspace designated as an
extension to a Class D surface area at New River MCAS and Albert J.
Ellis Airport, Jacksonville, NC. Subsequent to publication, the FAA
determined that establishment of Albert J. Ellis Airport in Class D
airspace, associated with the New River MCAS, should be established
under its own designation, thereby removing Albert J. Ellis Airport,
Jacksonville, NC, from the New River MCAS Class D airspace description.
This is merely an editorial change and does not alter the boundaries or
operating requirements of the airspace. Except for this change, this
rule is the same as published in the NPRM.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. Two
comments were received supporting the proposal.
    While the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) supported
this proposal, they stated that the NPRM did not comply with FAA
guidance in Order 7400.2L, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters,
because a graphic was not included in the docket. Additionally, AOPA
encouraged the FAA to follow their guidance in the Order by making the
action effective date coincidental to the sectional chart publication
date.
    The FAA has determined AOPA's comments raised no substantive issues
with respect to the proposed changes to the airspace addressed in the
NPRM. To the extent the FAA failed to follow its policy guidance
reference publishing graphics in the docket and the amendment of the
Class D airspace effective date to match the sectional chart date, we
note the following.
    With respect to AOPA's comment addressing graphics, FAA Order
7400.2.L, paragraph 2-3-3.c. requires the official docket to include
available graphics. For this airspace action, no graphics were deemed
necessary or produced in the review or development of the proposed
airspace amendments noted in the NPRM; therefore, no graphics were
available to include in the docket.
    Specific to AOPA's comment regarding the FAA already creating a
graphical depiction of new or modified airspace overlaid on a Sectional
Chart for quality assurance purposes, this is not correct nor required
in all cases. During the airspace reviews, airspace graphics may be
created, if deemed necessary, to determine if there are any terrain
issues, or if cases are considered complex. However, in many cases,
when developing an airspace amendment proposal, a graphic is not
required. It was unclear if the graphic AOPA argued was already created
with a sectional chart background was actually the airspace graphic
created by the Aeronautical Informational Services office in
preparation of publishing the sectional charts. However, that graphic
is normally created after the rulemaking determination is published.
    With respect to AOPA's comment addressing effective dates, FAA
Order 7400.2L, paragraph 2-3-7.a.4. states that, to the extent
practicable, Class D airspace area and restricted area rules should
become effective on a sectional chart date and that consideration
should be given to selecting a sectional chart date that matches a 56-
day enroute chart cycle date. The FAA does consider publishing Class D
airspace amendment effective dates to coincide with the

publication of sectional charts, to the extent practicable; however,
this consideration is accomplished after the NPRM comment period ends
in the Final Rule. Substantive comments received to NPRMs, flight
safety concerns, management of IFR operations at affected airports, and
immediacy of required proposed airspace amendments are some of the
factors that must be taken into consideration when selecting the
appropriate effective date. After considering all factors, the FAA may
determine that selecting an effective date that conforms to a 56-day
enroute chart cycle date that is not coincidental to sectional chart
dates is better for the National Airspace System and its users than
awaiting the next sectional chart date. Class D and E airspace
designations are published in paragraph 5000 and 6004, respectively, of
FAA Order 7400.11B dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class
D and E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2016. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 amends Class D airspace and Class E airspace designated as an
extension at New River MCAS, Jacksonville, NC, by amending the
geographic coordinates of New River MCAS to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database.
    Also, an editorial change is made to the airspace designation
removing the city associated with New River MCAS in Class D airspace
and Class E airspace designated as an extension, to comply with a
change to FAA Order 7400.2L, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters.
An editorial change also is made to the legal description of New River
MCAS for the classes above replacing ``Airport/Facility Directory''
with ``Chart Supplement''.
    Additionally, an editorial change is made moving establishment of
the Albert J. Ellis Airport Class D airspace description from the
Jacksonville, NC airspace associated with New River MCAS, and
establishing the airspace under its own designation at Jacksonville,
NC.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in Paragraphs
5000 and 6004, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11B, dated August 3,
2017, and effective September 15, 2017, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace designation listed in
this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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.
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
only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified
that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
