This action proposes to amend Class D airspace and Class E surface area airspace at Van Nuys Airport, Van Nuys, CA. After reviewing the airspace, the FAA found the need to increase the Class D airspace and Class E surface areas for the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations for arriving and departing aircraft at the airport. The geographic coordinates of the satellite airports also would be adjusted for Class D airspace and Class E surface area airspace as well as noting a name change for Burbank- Glendale-Pasadena Airport.

Proposed Amendment of Class D Airspace; Van Nuys, CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend Class D airspace and Class E

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations for arriving and departing 
aircraft at the airport. The geographic coordinates of the satellite 
airports also would be adjusted for Class D airspace and Class E 
surface area airspace as well as noting a name change for Burbank-
Glendale-Pasadena Airport.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    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 would amend Class D and Class E airspace at Van Nuys Airport, Van 
Nuys, CA.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed 
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as 
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the 
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing 
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are 
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal. 
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in 
triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to 
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with 
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the 
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2015-1138; 
Airspace Docket No. 15-AWP-3.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped 
and returned to the commenter.

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by 
Reference

    This document proposes to amend 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 proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y 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 D airspace and Class E 
surface area airspace at Van Nuys Airport, Van Nuys, CA. A review of 
the airspace revealed additional Class D airspace and Class E surface 
area airspace necessary to support instrument arrival procedures at the 
airport. Class D airspace would extend upward from the surface to but 
not including 3,000 feet within a 4.3-mile radius of Van Nuys Airport 
excluding that airspace within the Bob Hope Airport, Burbank, CA, 
formerly Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport, CA, Class C airspace area, 
and excluding that airspace within a 1.8-mile radius of Whiteman 
Airport, Los Angeles, CA. Class E surface area airspace would extend 
upward from the surface within a 4.3-mile radius of Van Nuys Airport 
excluding that airspace within the Bob Hope Airport, Burbank, CA, 
formerly Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport, CA, Class C airspace area, 
and excluding that airspace within a 1.8-mile radius of Whiteman 
Airport, Los Angeles, CA. The geographic coordinates for both airports 
would be adjusted to be in concert with the FAAs aeronautical data 
base.
    Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in 
paragraph 5000 and 6002, 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 Class E airspace 
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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.

Environmental Review

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