Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no
further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the
direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received
will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed
rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For
additional information, see the direct final rule which is located in
the Rules section of this Federal Register.

[EPA-R04-OAR-2007-0958-200802; FRL-8539-2]

Determination of Nonattainment and Reclassification of the
Atlanta, GA 8-hour Ozone Nonattainment Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule finalizes EPA's finding that the Atlanta, Georgia
marginal 8-hour ozone nonattainment area (Atlanta Area) has failed to
attain the 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard
(``NAAQS'' or ``standard'') by June 15, 2007, the attainment deadline
set forth in the Clean Air Act (CAA) and Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) for marginal nonattainment areas. As a result of this finding,
the Atlanta Area will be reclassified from a marginal to a moderate 8-
hour ozone nonattainment area by operation of law, on the effective
date of this rule. The effect of this reclassification will be to
change the classification of the Atlanta Area, and to require continued
progress towards attainment of the 8-hour ozone NAAQS through
development of a revision to the Georgia State Implementation Plan
(SIP) addressing the CAA's pollution control requirements for moderate
ozone nonattainment areas. The SIP revision is due as expeditiously as
practicable, but no later than December 31, 2008. The moderate area
attainment date for the Atlanta Area is as expeditiously as
practicable, but no later than June 15, 2010. This determination was
proposed on October 16, 2007, and no comments were received.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule will be effective April 7, 2008.

Must Georgia Submit a SIP Revision Fulfilling the Requirements for
Moderate Ozone Nonattainment Areas?

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What Is the Background for This Action?

    The CAA requires EPA to establish a NAAQS for pollutants that ``may
reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and welfare'' and
to develop a primary and secondary standard for each NAAQS. The primary

standard is designed to protect human health with an adequate margin of
safety and the secondary standard is designed to protect public welfare
and the environment. EPA has set NAAQS for six common air pollutants
referred to as criteria pollutants: Carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen
dioxide, ozone, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide. On July 18,
1997, EPA promulgated a revised 8-hour ozone standard of 0.08 ppm.
Under EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 50, the 8-hour ozone standard is
attained when the 3-year average of the annual fourth highest daily
maximum 8-hour average ambient air quality ozone concentration is less
than or equal to 0.08 ppm (i.e., 0.084 ppm when rounding is
considered). (See, 69 FR 23857 (April 30, 2004) FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT.)
    The Atlanta Area is located in Northern Georgia and consists of
Barrow, Barton, Carroll, Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb,
Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Newton, Paulding,
Pickens, Rockdale, Spaulding, and Walton Counties. The Atlanta Area was
initially designated for the 8-hour ozone standard on April 30, 2004,
and classified as ``marginal'' nonattainment. For areas subject to
title I, Part D, Subpart 2 of the CAA, such as the Atlanta Area, the
maximum period for attainment runs from the effective date of
designations for the 8-hour ozone NAAQS. This attainment period must
also be the same period as provided in Table 1 of section 181(a) of the
CAA: Marginal--3 years; Moderate--6 years; Serious--9 years, Severe--15
or 17 years; and Extreme--20 years.
    On October 16, 2007, EPA published a rulemaking proposing its
determination that the Atlanta Area did not attain the 8-hour ozone
NAAQS by June 15, 2007, the applicable attainment date for marginal
nonattainment areas, and proposing a SIP submission schedule. See, 72
FR 58572. The proposed finding was based on ambient air quality data
from years 2004, 2005 and 2006. In the October 16, 2007, proposal, EPA
explained that, consistent with Section 181(b)(2) of the CAA, when EPA
finalizes its determination that the Atlanta Area failed to attain, and
that requirement becomes effective, the Atlanta Area would be
reclassified by operation of law to the next highest classification, or
``moderate'' nonattainment. See the discussion of the appropriate
reclassification of the area in the proposal at 72 FR 58572, 58574. EPA
further proposed that the State submit the SIP revisions meeting the
new moderate area requirements as expeditiously as practicable, but no
later than December 31, 2008. For further background, see EPA's October
16, 2007, proposal. EPA provided an opportunity for public comment on
its October 16, 2007, proposal, but received no comments.

II. What Is the Effect of This Action?

    This action finalizes EPA's October 16, 2007, proposed finding that
the Atlanta Area failed to attain the 8-hour ozone standard by June 15,
2007, as prescribed by the CAA for marginal ozone nonattainment areas.
The basis of this final action is the 2004-2006 air quality data
demonstrating that the Atlanta Area did not attain the standard by the
attainment date. Under the CAA, the effect of a final finding that an
area has not attained the 8-hour ozone standard by the attainment date
is that the area is reclassified by operation of law to a higher
classification. For further information on reclassifications in general
and specific information regarding the Atlanta Area reclassification,
see, EPA's proposal at 72 FR 58572. As a result of EPA's determination,
the Atlanta Area will be reclassified by operation of law to moderate
nonattainment pursuant to section 181(b)(2) of the CAA on the effective
date of this action. In addition, this action sets the dates by which
Georgia must submit revisions to the Georgia SIP addressing the CAA's
pollution control requirements for moderate ozone nonattainment areas
and attainment of the 8-hour ozone standard.

III. What Is the New Attainment Date for the Atlanta Area and When Must
Georgia Submit a SIP Revision Fulfilling the Requirements for Moderate
Ozone Nonattainment Areas?

    When an area is reclassified, a new attainment date for the
reclassified area must be established. Section 181 of the CAA states
that the attainment date for moderate nonattainment areas shall be as
expeditiously as practicable, but not later than six years after
designation, or June 15, 2010, in the case of the Atlanta Area. The
``as expeditiously as practicable'' attainment date will be determined
as part of the action on the required SIP submittal demonstrating
attainment of the 8-hour ozone standard.
    When an area is reclassified, EPA has the authority under section
182(i) of the CAA to adjust the CAA's submittal deadlines for any new
SIP revisions that are required as a result of the reclassification.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 51.908(d), for each nonattainment area, the state
must provide for implementation of all control measures needed for
attainment no later than the beginning of the attainment year ozone
season. The attainment year ozone season is the ozone season
immediately preceding a nonattainment area's attainment date, in this
case, 2009 (40 CFR 51.900(g)). The ozone season is the ozone monitoring
season as defined in 40 CFR part 58, Appendix D, section 4.1, Table D-3
(October 17, 2006, 71 FR 61236). For the purposes of this
reclassification of the Atlanta Area, March 1, 2009, is the beginning
of the ozone monitoring season. As a result and in light of discussions
with Georgia, EPA determines that the required SIP revision be
submitted as expeditiously as practicable, but no later than December
31, 2008. This timeline also calls for implementation of applicable
controls no later than the beginning of the ozone monitoring season.
The SIP revision must include the requirements for moderate areas. See,
EPA's proposal at 72 FR 58572, 58575.

IV. Final Action

    Pursuant to CAA section 181(b)(2), EPA is now finalizing its
determination that the Atlanta Area failed to attain the 8-hour ozone
standard by June 15, 2007, the CAA's attainment date for marginal ozone
nonattainment areas. As a result, the Atlanta Area will be reclassified
by operation of law as a moderate nonattainment area on the effective
date of this rulemaking. The submittal of Georgia's moderate
nonattainment SIP revision will be due as expeditiously as practicable,
but no later than December 31, 2008. The requirements for this SIP
submittal are described in section 182 of the CAA and applicable EPA
guidance. See, EPA's October 16, 2007, proposal, for further
information regarding this action.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review

    This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the
terms of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), and is
therefore not subject to review under the Executive Order.
    The Agency has determined that the finding of nonattainment would
result in none of the effects identified in the Executive Order. Under
section 181(b)(2) of the CAA, determinations of nonattainment are based
upon air quality considerations and the resulting reclassifications
must occur by operation of law.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule does not impose an information collection burden under
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
This final rule reclassifying the Atlanta Area as a moderate ozone
nonattainment area and adjusting applicable deadlines does not
establish any new information collection burden. Burden means the total
time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a
Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information,
processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing
information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete
and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless
it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in 40 CFR
are listed in 40 CFR part 9.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency
to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to
notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative
Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies the rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. Small entities include small businesses, small
organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions.
    For purposes of assessing the impacts of this action on small
entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A small business that is a
small industrial entity as defined in the U.S. Small Business
Administration (SBA) size standards, see, 13 CFR part 121; (2) a small
governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a city, county, town,
school district or special district with a population of less than
50,000; and (3) a small organization that is any not-for-profit
enterprise which is independently owned and operated and is not
dominant in its field. Determinations of nonattainment and the
resulting reclassification of nonattainment areas by operation of law
under section 181(b)(2) of the CAA do not in and of themselves create
any new requirements. Instead, this rulemaking only makes a factual
determination, and does not directly regulate any entities. After
considering the economic impacts of this action on small entities, I
certify that this final rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public
Law 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the
effects of their regulatory actions on state, local, and Tribal
governments and the private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, EPA
generally must prepare a written statement, including a cost-benefit
analysis, for proposed and final rules with ``Federal mandates'' that
may result in expenditures to state, local, and Tribal governments, in
the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 million or more in any
one year. Before promulgating an EPA rule for which a written statement
is needed, section 205 of the UMRA generally requires EPA to identify
and consider a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives and adopt
the least costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative
that achieves the objectives of the rule. The provisions of section 205
do not apply when they are inconsistent with applicable law. Moreover,
section 205 allows EPA to adopt an alternative other than the least
costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative if the
Administrator publishes with the final rule an explanation to why that
alternative was not adopted. Before EPA establishes any regulatory
requirements that may significantly or uniquely affect small
governments, including Tribal governments, it must have developed under
section 203 of the UMRA a small government agency plan. The plan must
provide for notifying potentially affected small governments, enabling
officials of affected small governments to have meaningful and timely
input in the development of EPA regulatory proposals with significant
Federal intergovernmental mandates, and informing, educating, and
advising small governments on compliance with the regulatory
requirements.
    This final rule does not include a Federal mandate within the
meaning of UMRA that may result in expenditures of $100 million or more
in any one year by either state, local, or Tribal governments in the
aggregate or to the private sector, and therefore, is not subject to
the requirements of sections 202 and 205 of the UMRA. Also, EPA has
determined that this rule contains no regulatory requirements that
might significantly or uniquely affect small governments and therefore,
is not subject to the requirements of section 203. EPA believes that
the finding of nonattainment is a factual determination based upon air
quality considerations and that the resulting reclassification of the
Atlanta Area must occur by operation of law. Thus, EPA believes that
this finding does not constitute a Federal mandate, as defined in
section 101 of the UMRA, because it does not impose an enforceable duty
on any entity.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure
``meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.''
``Policies that have federalism implications'' is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations that have ``substantial direct
effects on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.''
    This final rule does not have federalism implications. It will not
have substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship
between the national government and the states, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government,
as specified in Executive Order 13132. This rule merely determines that
the Atlanta Area has not attained the 8-hour ozone standard by its
applicable attainment date, and reclassifies the Atlanta Area as a
moderate ozone nonattainment area and adjusts applicable deadlines.
Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this final rule.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    Executive Order 13175, entitled, ``Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful
and timely input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory
policies that have tribal implications.'' This action does not have
``Tribal implications'' as specified in Executive Order 13175. This
action

merely determines that the Atlanta Area has not attained the 8-hour
ozone standard by its applicable attainment date, and reclassifies the
Atlanta area as a moderate ozone nonattainment area and adjusts
applicable deadlines. The CAA and the Tribal Authority Rule establish
the relationship of the Federal government and Tribes in developing
plans to attain the NAAQS, and this rule does nothing to modify that
relationship. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this final
rule.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks

    Executive Order 13045: ``Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), applies to any
rule that (1) is determined to be ``economically significant'' as
defined under Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns an environmental
health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may have
disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action meets
both criteria, the Agency must evaluate the environmental health or
safety effects of the planned rule on children, and explain why the
planned regulation is preferable to other potentially effective and
reasonably feasible alternatives considered by the Agency. This final
rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it is not
economically significant as defined in Executive Order 12866, and
because the Agency does not have reason to believe the environmental
health risks or safety risks addressed by this rule present a
disproportionate risk to children. This action merely determines that
the Atlanta Area has not attained the 8-hour ozone standard by its
applicable attainment date, and reclassifies the Atlanta area as a
moderate ozone nonattainment area and adjusts applicable deadlines.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001), because it is not a significant regulatory action
under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer Advancement Act

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer Advancement Act
of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note)
directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS) in its
regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards
are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods,
sampling procedures, and business practices) that are developed or
adopted by VCS bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to provide Congress,
through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not to use available
and applicable VCS. This final rule merely determines that the Atlanta
Area has not attained the 8-hour ozone standard by its applicable
attainment date, and reclassifies the Atlanta Area as a moderate ozone
nonattainment area and adjusts applicable deadlines. Therefore, EPA did
not consider the use of any voluntary consensus standards.

J. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a report, which includes a copy of the rule, to
each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United
States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. This rule is not a
``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

K. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this final action must be filed in the United States Court of
Appeals for the appropriate circuit by May 5, 2008. Filing a petition
for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not
affect the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial review
nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review
may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See, section 307(b)(2) of the CAA.)

[Docket No. FAA-2014-0655; Directorate Identifier 2013-NM-070-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2007-14-
05, for all Airbus Model A310 and Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-
600R series airplanes, and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes
(collectively called Model A300-600 series airplanes). AD 2007-14-05
currently requires revising the Airworthiness Limitations section of
the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness by incorporating certain
certification maintenance requirements. Since we issued AD 2007-14-05,
we have determined that more restrictive maintenance requirements and
airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would require
revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate more
restrictive maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. We
are proposing this AD to prevent safety-significant latent failures
that would, in combination with one or more other specific failures or
events, result in a hazardous or catastrophic failure condition of
avionics, hydraulic systems, fire detection systems, fuel systems, or
other critical systems.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by November 17,
2014.

Discussion

    On June 26, 2007, we issued AD 2007-14-05, Amendment 39-15127 (72
FR 39307, July 18, 2007). AD 2007-14-05 requires actions intended to
address an unsafe condition on all Airbus Model A310 and A300-600
series airplanes.
    Since we issued AD 2007-14-05, Amendment 39-15127 (72 FR 39307,
July 18, 2007), we have determined that more restrictive maintenance
requirements and airworthiness limitations are necessary. The European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the aviation authority for the
Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA Airworthiness
Directive 2013-0072, dated March 20, 2013 (referred to after this as
the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''),
to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI
states:

    The airworthiness limitations for Airbus aeroplanes are
currently published in Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS)
documents.
    The airworthiness limitations applicable to the A300-600 and
A300-600ST Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR) were
previously specified in the Airbus A300-600 CMR document referenced
AUST5/829//85. DGAC [Direction G[eacute]n[eacute]rale de l'Aviation
Civile] France issued AD F2005-123 http://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/
easaadF2005123.pdf/ADF-
2005-123 (EASA approval 2005-6070) [which corresponds to FAA AD
2007-14-05, Amendment 39-15127] to require compliance to the
requirements as specified in this document.
    Since that AD was issued, the CMR tasks are now specified in
Airbus A300-600 and Airbus A310 ALS Part 3 documents, which are
approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). These
documents introduce more restrictive maintenance requirements and/or
airworthiness limitations. Failure to comply with the maintenance
requirements contained in these documents could result in an unsafe
condition.
    For the reasons described above, this new [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of DGAC France AD F-2005-123, which is superseded, and
requires the implementation of the new or more restrictive
maintenance requirements as specified in Airbus A310 ALS Part 3
Revision 00 and A300-600 ALS Part 3 Revision 00, as applicable to
the aeroplane type/model.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2014-
0655.

Relevant Service Information

    Airbus has issued A310 ALS Part 3, Certification Maintenance
Requirements (CMR), dated November 30, 2012. Airbus has also issued
A300-600 ALS Part 3, Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR),
dated April 18, 2012. The actions described in this service information
are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 156 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

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

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. 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.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

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 establishes controlled airspace at Blake Field Airport, Delta CO.

History

    On June 22, 2015, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Blake Field
Airport, Delta CO (80 FR 35597). 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 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15,
2015, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class 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 7400.9Z, airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15,
2015. FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this final rule. FAA Order 7400.9Z 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 modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Blake Field Airport, Delta, CO. Controlled airspace is
established within a 3.8-mile radius of Blake Field Airport, with
segments extending from the 4-mile radius to 7.5 miles northeast, and
12 miles southwest of the airport. Development of new RNAV (GPS)
standard instrument approach procedures has made this action necessary
for continued 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, 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 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures,''
paragraph 311a. 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.
