SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On October 16, 2014, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend Class E airspace at
Manchester Airport, Manchester, NH, (79 FR 62079). Interested parties
were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal to the FAA. One anonymous, positive
comment was received.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6003 of
FAA Order 7400.9Y dated August 6, 2014, and effective September 15,
2014, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 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 7400.9Y, airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, and effective September 15,
2014. FAA Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this final rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y 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 amends Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class C
surface area, at Manchester Airport, Manchester, NH. Airspace
reconfiguration extending from the 5-mile radius of the airport to 8.5-
miles northwest of the airport is necessary due to the development of
the RNAV (RNP) Z RWY 17 approach, and for continued safety and
management of IFR operations at the airport. Also, the geographic
coordinates of Manchester Airport are adjusted to coincide with the
FAAs aeronautical database. An editorial change is made to correct the
title of paragraph 6003 of FAA Order 7400.9Y, to read ``Class E
Airspace Designated as an Extension to a Class C Surface area''.
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.
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 amends controlled airspace at Manchester Airport, Manchester, NH.

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.
