SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On February 21, 2012, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
final rule amending Class E airspace at City of Colorado Springs
Municipal Airport, Colorado Springs, CO (77 FR 9840). Airspace
reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of the Black
Forest Tactical Air Navigation System. This rule was originally
scheduled to become effective May 31, 2012; however, a need for
additional internal processing requires a delay in the effective date
until September 20, 2012.
    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.
Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule''
under Department of Transportation (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 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 the
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 controlled airspace at City of Colorado Springs Municipal
Airport, Colorado Springs, CO.
