This action proposes to modify Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D airspace at Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport, Santa Rosa, CA, by reducing the segment extending northwest of the airport and adding a segment southeast of the airport. This action also proposes to modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to include only that area required for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. Additionally, this action updates the airport's geographic coordinates for both Class D and E airspace areas. A review of the airspace has made this proposal necessary for the safety and management of Standard Instrument Approach Procedures for IFR operations at the airport.

SUMMARY: This action proposes to modify Class E airspace designated as 
an extension to a Class D airspace at Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County 
Airport, Santa Rosa, CA, by reducing the segment extending northwest of 
the airport and adding a segment southeast of the airport. This action 
also proposes to modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface to include only that area required for Instrument 
Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. Additionally, this action 
updates the airport's geographic coordinates for both Class D and E

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 modify Class D and Class E airspace at Charles M. Schulz-
Sonoma County Airport, Santa Rosa, 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-2016-6967/

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 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 to modify Class E airspace designated as 
an extension at Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport, Santa Rosa, 
CA, by creating an area southeast of the airport to contain IFR 
arrivals below 1,000 feet above the surface, and by reducing in size 
the Class E surface area extension northwest of the airport to only 
that necessary to contain IFR arrivals below 1,000 feet above the 
surface. Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface would be modified to include only that area necessary to 
contain IFR arrivals below 1,500 feet above the surface and IFR 
departures until reaching 1,200 feet above the surface. The proposal 
would also update the airport's geographic coordinates for all Class D 
and E airspace areas. The proposed modifications are necessary for the 
safety and management of IFR operations at the airport.
    Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in 
paragraph 5000, 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 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 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

[[Page 41282]]

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.
