The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of the Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E surface area
airspace at Kemmerer Municipal Airport, Kemmerer, WY. Controlled
airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using the new RNAV (GPS)
SIAPs at Kemmerer Municipal Airport, Kemmerer, WY. This action would
enhance the safety and management of aircraft operations at the
airport. The geographic coordinates also would be amended for the
existing Class E airspace area to coincide with the FAA's National
Aeronautical Charting Office.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 and
6005 of FAA Order 7400.9T, signed August 27, 2009, and effective
September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will be
published subsequently in this Order.
The FAA has determined this proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed regulation: (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 this proposed 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.
The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes
the authority for 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 establishes additional controlled airspace at Kemmerer Municipal
Airport, Kemmerer, WY.
