SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
The FAA received a request from the National Aeronautical
Navigation Services to update the geographic coordinates of Albert J.
Ellis Airport, Jacksonville, NC. This action makes the adjustment.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by amending Class E surface airspace, and Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, at Albert J. Ellis
Airport, Jacksonville, NC. The geographic coordinates of the airport
are adjusted to be in concert with the FAA aeronautical database.
Accordingly, since this is an administrative change, and does not
involve a change in the dimensions or operating requirements of that
airspace, notice and public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
unnecessary.
The Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraphs 6002
and 6005, respectively of FAA order 7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011, and
effective September 15, 2011, 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.
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, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
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 amends controlled airspace at Jacksonville, NC.
