This action proposes to modify Class E surface area airspace designated as an extension to Class C airspace, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Boise Air Terminal/ Gowen Field Airport, formerly Boise Air Terminal (Gowen Field), Boise, ID. After reviewing the airspace, the FAA found standard instrument approach procedures are not fully contained in controlled airspace, thereby necessitating airspace redesign for the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This proposal also would update the name of the airport to match the FAAs aeronautical database.

Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Boise, ID

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to modify Class E surface area airspace 
designated as an extension to Class C airspace, and Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Boise Air Terminal/
Gowen Field Airport, formerly Boise Air Terminal (Gowen Field), Boise, 
ID. After reviewing the airspace, the FAA found standard instrument 
approach procedures are not fully contained in controlled airspace, 
thereby necessitating airspace redesign for the safety and management 
of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This 
proposal also would update the name of the airport to match the FAAs 
aeronautical database.

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 E airspace at Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field 
Airport, Boise, ID.

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-2015-3674; 
Airspace Docket No. 15-ANM-18.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped 
and returned to the commenter.

holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal 
business hours at the Northwest Mountain Regional Office of the Federal 
Aviation Administration, Air Traffic Organization, Western Service 
Center, Operations Support Group, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton, WA

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by 
Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace 
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, and effective 
September 15, 2015. FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as listed 
in

[[Page 70177]]

the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.9Z 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 E airspace designated 
as an extension to Class C airspace at Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field 
Airport, Boise, ID. Two segments would be expanded from the 5-mile 
radius of the airport and extend to 12.8 miles southeast, and 11 miles 
northwest of the airport. Class E airspace extending upward from 700 
feet above the surface at Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field Airport would 
be amended to accommodate standard instrument approach procedures for 
IFR operations at the airport. A review of the airspace found 
modification of the airspace necessary for the safety and management of 
standard instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at the 
airport. Also, the name of the airport would be updated from Boise Air 
Terminal (Gowen Field), to Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field Airport, to 
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface 
would be modified to within an 8.6-mile radius north of Boise Air 
Terminal/Gowen Field Airport, extending to 11.4 miles to the south, 17 
miles to the east and 30 miles to the west.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6003 and 
6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015 and 
effective September 15, 2015, 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.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves 
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
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, 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 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies 
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
