14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2017-0284; Airspace Docket No. 17-ACE-5]

Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace, for Orange City, IA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to modify Class E airspace extending up
to 700 feet above the surface at Orange City Municipal Airport, Orange
City, IA, to accommodate new standard instrument approach procedures
(SIAPs) for instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.
This action is necessary due to the decommissioning of the Orange City
non directional radio beacon (NDB), and cancellation of the NDB
approach, and would enhance the safety and management of IFR operations
at the airport. The airport's coordinates also would be updated to
match the FAA's aeronautical data base.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 12, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, West Building Ground Floor, Room

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by
Reference

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

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface within the 6.4-mile radius of
Orange City Municipal Airport, Orange City, IA, and within 2.6 miles
each side of the 165[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the
6.4-mile radius to 10.1 miles south of the airport. The segment each
side of the 172[deg] bearing from the Orange City NDB extending from
the 6.4-mile radius to 7.4 miles south of the airport would be removed
due to the decommissioning of the NDB, and cancellation of the NDB
approach. The airport coordinates also be amended to be in concert with
the FAA's aeronautical database. This action would enhance the safety
and management of the standard instrument approach procedures for IFR
operations at the airport.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016, 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.

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 will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this 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.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 16, 2015, the Department of
Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration published the
interim final rule Registration and Marking Requirements for Small
Unmanned Aircraft (80 FR 78593). That rule provided an alternative,
streamlined and simple, web-based aircraft registration process for the
registration of small unmanned aircraft, including small unmanned
aircraft operated as model aircraft, to facilitate compliance with the
statutory requirement that all aircraft register prior to operation.
    That rule contained an information collection, Registration of
Small Unmanned Aircraft. That information collection requirement had
not been approved by OMB at the time of publication of the interim
final rule.
    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, the FAA submitted a
copy of the new information collection requirements to OMB for its
review. OMB approved the collection on December 16, 2015, and assigned
the information collection OMB Control Number 2120-0765. This final
rule provides the control number of that information collection and
adds the information collection to the list of FAA's approved
information collections in 14 CFR part 11.
