RIN 2120-AA66

Amendment of Class D and E Airspace and Revocation of Class E
Airspace; Pocatello, ID

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends controlled airspace at Pocatello Regional
Airport, Pocatello, ID, by amending Class D airspace and Class E
airspace designated as a surface area; removing Class E airspace
designated as an extension to a Class D or E surface area; and amending
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface.
Also, this action updates the airport's geographic coordinates for the
associated Class D and E airspace areas to reflect the FAA's current
aeronautical database. Additionally, reference to the Pocatello VHF
Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) is removed from
the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface
description. This action enhances the safety and management of
instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, July 19, 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 modifies Class D and E airspace at
Pocatello Regional Airport, Pocatello, ID, in support of instrument
flight rules operations at the airport.

History

    On December 19, 2017, the FAA published in the Federal Register (82
FR 60130) Docket FAA-2017-0855, a notice of proposed rulemaking to
modify Class D airspace, Class E surface area airspace, Class E
airspace designated as an extension, and Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Pocatello Regional Airport,
Pocatello, ID. 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 and E airspace designations are published in paragraph
5000, 6002, 6004, and 6005, 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 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,
2017. 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

    The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by:
    Amending Class D airspace at Pocatello Regional Airport, Pocatello,
ID, by raising the vertical limit to 7,000 feet (from 6,900 feet) and
increasing the airspace south of the airport to a 5.6-mile radius (from
a 4.5-mile radius) to laterally protect IFR departures as they climb to
700 feet above the surface, due to rising terrain;
    Amending Class E surface area airspace to be coincident with the
Class D airspace area;
    Removing Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D
or Class E surface area as it contains no arrival aircraft within 1,000
feet of the surface, and is not necessary;
    Amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface to reduce the area southwest of the airport and slightly
increase the area south of the airport. This redesign is necessary to
ensure sufficient controlled airspace to contain IFR arrival aircraft
within 1,500 feet above the surface and IFR departure aircraft until
reaching 1,200 feet above the surface. The VORTAC navigation aid noted
in the description is removed, as it no longer defines the boundary of
the airspace. In addition, this action establishes airspace extending
upward from 1,200 feet above the surface at the airport within 15 miles
northwest and 5 miles southeast of a line extending from 15 miles
southwest of the airport to 43 miles northeast of the airport. This
provides controlled airspace to support aircraft operations under IFR
as aircraft transition between the en route and airport environments.
    Lastly, this action updates the airport's geographic coordinates
for the associated Class D and E airspace areas to reflect the FAA's
current aeronautical database, and replaces the outdated term
``Airport/Facility Directory'' with the term ``Chart Supplement'' in
the Class D and Class E surface airspace legal descriptions. These
modifications are necessary for the safety and management of IFR
operations at the airport.

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, 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 only affects 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.

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.
