This supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking would establish Class E surface area airspace within a 4.2-mile radius of Truckee-Tahoe Airport, Truckee, CA, to increase safety and enhance existing instrument flight rules (IFR) procedures in the immediate vicinity of Truckee-Tahoe Airport, Truckee, CA. In an NPRM published in the Federal Register on December 18, 2015, the FAA proposed to amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Truckee-Tahoe Airport. The FAA concurs with a comment received regarding the proposal, and finds establishing Class E surface area airspace along with the proposed Class E airspace modification is warranted for the safety and management of IFR operations.

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 Truckee-Tahoe Airport, Truckee, 
CA.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this supplemental 
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 (Docket No. FAA-
2015-4074/Airspace Docket No. 15-AWP-16) and be submitted in triplicate 
to the Docket Management System (see ADDRESSES section for address and 
phone number). You may also submit comments through the Internet at 
http://www.regulations.gov.
    Commenters wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments 
on this action must submit with those comments a self-addressed stamped 
postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket 
No. FAA-2015-4074/Airspace Docket No. 15-AWP-16''. The postcard will be 
date/time stamped and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received on or before the specified closing date 
for comments will be considered before taking action on the proposed 
rule. The proposal contained in this action may be changed in light of 
comments received. All comments submitted will be available for 
examination in the public docket both before and after the closing date 
for comments. A report summarizing each substantive public contact with 
FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the 
docket.

History

    On December 18, 2015, the FAA published in the Federal Register an 
NPRM proposing to modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 
feet above the surface at Truckee-Tahoe Airport, Truckee, CA (80 FR, 
78988) FAA-2015-4074. Interested parties were invited to participate in 
this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal 
to the FAA. One comment was received from the Truckee-Tahoe Airport 
District presenting safety concerns with regard to existing Instrument 
Flight Rules procedures and current aircraft operations, especially 
when considering the surrounding terrain. The commenter suggested the 
establishment of Class E surface area airspace within 4.2 miles of 
Truckee-Tahoe Airport to improve the safety of the existing airspace 
and operations. The FAA considered this proposal and determined the 
density and complexity of existing airport traffic and operations is 
sufficient to establish Class E surface area airspace.

The Supplemental Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by establishing Class E surface airspace 
extending upward from the surface within a 4.2-mile radius of Truckee-
Tahoe Airport, Truckee, CA. This supplemental proposal adds to the NPRM 
amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface, published in the Federal Register [80 FR 78988, December 18, 
2015].
    Class E airspace designated as surface areas are published in 
paragraph 6002 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 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)

[[Page 23660]]

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.
