SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On July 3, 2014, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice 
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify controlled airspace at Tri-
Cities Airport, Pasco, WA (79 FR 37967). Interested parties were 
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written 
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    Class D airspace and Class E airspace designations are published in 
paragraphs 5000, 6004 and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9Y, 
dated August 6, 2014, and effective September 15, 2014, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and E airspace 
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
that Order. Except for editorial corrections this rule is the same as 
published in the NPRM.

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 modifies Class D airspace, Class E surface airspace, and Class 
E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Tri-
Cities Airport, Pasco, WA. After a biennial review of the airspace, the 
FAA found modification of the airspace necessary for the safety and 
management of aircraft departing and arriving under IFR operations at 
the airport. The Class D airspace area is expanded from the existing 
4.3 miles to 4.8 miles, west of the airport, from the 255[deg] radial 
to the 12[deg] radial, and two segments extending 5.8 miles southwest 
and northeast of the airport is added. The cutout of the Class D 
airspace area for Vista Airport is eliminated, as Vista Airport is 
closed. The Class E surface airspace is adjusted to coincide with the 
dimensions of the Class D airspace area. Class E airspace designated as 
an extension to the Class D and Class E surface area is removed as it 
is no longer needed for IFR operations. The Class E airspace extending 
700 feet above the surface is decreased to an 11-mile radius of the 
airport with segments extending from the 11-mile radius to 13 miles 
northeast and southeast of the airport, and a segment 4 miles south and 
9 miles north of a 226[deg] bearing from the airport extending to 15 
miles southwest of the airport. These actions are necessary to 
accommodate RNAV (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures at the 
airport.
    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

[[Page 28538]]

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 Tri-Cities Airport, 
Pasco, WA.

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
