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 establishes controlled airspace at Walla Walla, WA.

History

    On November 27, 2015, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify Class D airspace, Class 
E surface area airspace, Class E surface area airspace designated as an 
extension, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface at Walla Walla Regional Airport, Walla Walla, WA, (80 FR 
74063) Docket No. FAA-2015-3675. The FAA found these modifications 
necessary to ensure the safety and management of Instrument Flight 
Rules (IFR) operations for arriving and departing aircraft at the 
airport. 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 and Class E airspace designations are published in 
paragraph 5000, 6002, 6004, 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 part 71.1.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends 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 Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 modifies Class D airspace, Class E surface area airspace, Class 
E surface area airspace designated as an extension, and Class E 
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Walla 
Walla Regional Airport, Walla Walla, WA. Class D airspace and all Class 
E airspace areas are modified to correct geographic latitude and 
longitude (lat./long.) errors in the legal description. Class E 
airspace designated as an extension is modified to include that area 
within 2.7 miles each side of the Walla Walla Airport 215[deg] bearing 
extending from the 4.3-mile radius to 7.5 miles southwest of the 
airport, and that airspace within 4.1 miles each side of the airport 
035[deg] bearing extending from the 4.3-mile radius to 13.4 miles 
northeast of the airport. Class E airspace extending upward from 700 
feet above the surface is modified to include that area bounded by a 
line beginning at lat. 45[deg]52'29'' N., long. 118[deg]23'027'' W.; to 
lat. 45[deg]49'51'' N., long. 118[deg]26'02'' W.; to lat. 
45[deg]57'17'' N., long. 118[deg]40'49'' W.; to lat. 46[deg]10'22'' N., 
long. 118[deg]27'48'' W.; to lat. 46[deg]08'46'' N., long. 
118[deg]24'32'' W.; to lat. 46[deg]14'38'' N., long. 118[deg]18'44'' 
W.; to lat. 46[deg]16'07'' N., long. 118[deg]21'47'' W.; to lat. 
46[deg]29'20'' N., long. 118[deg]08'35'' W.; to lat. 46[deg]22'02'' N., 
long. 117[deg]53'24'' W.; to lat. 46[deg]14'25'' N., long. 
118[deg]01'11'' W.; and that airspace within a 13.4-mile radius of 
point in space coordinates at lat. 46[deg]03'27'' N., long. 
118[deg]12'20'' W., from the 052[deg] bearing from the Walla Walla 
Regional Airport clockwise to the 198[deg] bearing.

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 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.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical 
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance 
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and 
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. 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.
