This action proposes to modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Vigil I. Grissom Municipal Airport, Bedford, IN; Goshen Municipal Airport, Goshen, IN; Putnam County Airport, Greencastle, IN; Huntingburg Airport, Huntingburg, IN; North Vernon Airport, North Vernon, IN; Jasper County Airport, Rensselaer, IN; Perry County Municipal Airport, Tell City, IN; and Daviess County Airport, Washington, IN. This action also proposes to remove Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at O'Neal Airport, Vincennes, IN. Decommissioning of non- directional radio beacons (NDB), cancellation of NDB approaches, implementation of area navigation (RNAV) procedures, and closure of O'Neal Airport, have made this action necessary for the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the above airports. This action also would update the geographic coordinates of Goshen Municipal Airport, Putnam County Airport, North Vernon Airport, Jasper County Airport, and Perry County Municipal Airport to coincide with 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 Vigil I. Grissom Municipal 
Airport, Bedford, IN; Goshen Municipal Airport, Goshen, IN; Putnam 
County Airport, Greencastle, IN; Huntingburg Airport, Huntingburg, IN; 
North Vernon Airport, North Vernon, IN; Jasper County Airport, 
Rensselaer, IN; Perry County Municipal Airport, Tell City, IN; O'Neal 
Airport, Vincennes, IN; and Daviess County Airport, Washington, IN.

Comments Invited

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

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by 
Reference

    This document would 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 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 extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface at the following airports:

    Within a 6.5-mile radius of Vigil I. Grissom Municipal Airport, 
Bedford, IN;
    Within a 6.8-mile radius of Goshen Municipal Airport, Goshen, 
IN, and updating the geographic coordinates of this airport;
    Within a 6.5-mile radius of Putnam County Airport, Greencastle, 
IN, and updating the geographic coordinates of this airport;
    Within a 6.5-mile radius of Huntingburg Airport, Huntingburg, 
IN, with a segment extending from the 6.5 mile radius to 11.2 miles 
east of the airport;
    Within a 6.5-mile radius of North Vernon Airport, North Vernon, 
IN, and updating the geographic coordinates of this airport;
    Within a 6.4-mile radius of Jasper County Airport, Rensselaer, 
IN, and updating the geographic coordinates of this airport;
    Within a 6.4-mile radius of Perry County Municipal Airport, Tell 
City, IN, and updating the geographic coordinates of this airport; 
and
    Within a 6.4-mile radius of Daviess County Airport, Washington, 
IN.

    Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of 
NDBs, cancellation of NDB approaches, or implementation of RNAV 
procedures at the above airports. Controlled airspace is necessary for 
the safety and management of the standard instrument approach 
procedures for IFR operations at the airports. Additionally, Class E 
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface would be 
removed at O'Neal Airport, Vincennes, IN, due to closure of the 
airport.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 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) 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.
