This action modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Belleville Municipal Airport, Belleville, KS; Stanton County Municipal Airport, Johnson, KS; Marysville Municipal Airport, Marysville, KS; Atkinson Municipal Airport, Pittsburg, KS; and Washington County Veteran's Memorial Airport, Washington, KS. Decommissioning of non-directional radio beacons (NDBs), cancellation of NDB approaches, and implementation of area navigation (RNAV) procedures have made these actions necessary for the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the above airports. This action also updates the geographic coordinates at Marysville Municipal Airport, Marysville, KS; and Atkinson Municipal Airport, Pittsburg, KS; and the name of Washington County Veteran's Memorial Airport (formerly Washington County Memorial Airport) to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical database.

Amendment of Class E Airspace for the Following Kansas Towns; 
Belleville, KS; Johnson, KS; Marysville, KS; Pittsburg, KS; and 
Washington, KS

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 
700 feet above the surface at Belleville Municipal Airport, Belleville, 
KS; Stanton County Municipal Airport, Johnson, KS; Marysville Municipal 
Airport, Marysville, KS; Atkinson Municipal Airport, Pittsburg, KS; and 
Washington County Veteran's Memorial Airport, Washington, KS. 
Decommissioning of non-directional radio beacons (NDBs), cancellation 
of NDB approaches, and implementation of area navigation (RNAV) 
procedures have made these actions necessary for the safety and 
management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the above 
airports. This action also updates the geographic coordinates at 
Marysville Municipal Airport, Marysville, KS; and Atkinson Municipal 
Airport, Pittsburg, KS; and the name of Washington County Veteran's 
Memorial Airport (formerly Washington County Memorial Airport) to 
coincide with the FAAs aeronautical database.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, November 10, 2016. The Director of the 
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 
Title 1, Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual 
revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.

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

[[Page 43039]]

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 amends Class E 
airspace at Belleville Municipal Airport, Belleville, KS; Stanton 
County Municipal Airport, Johnson, KS; Marysville Municipal Airport, 
Marysville, KS; Atkinson Municipal Airport, Pittsburg, KS; and 
Washington County Veteran's Memorial Airport, Washington, KS.

History

    On March 29, 2016, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify Class E airspace at 
Belleville Municipal Airport, Belleville, KS; Stanton County Municipal 
Airport, Johnson, KS; Marysville Municipal Airport, Marysville, KS; 
Atkinson Municipal Airport, Pittsburg, KS; and Washington County 
Veteran's Memorial Airport, Washington, KS (81 FR 17420) Docket No. 
FAA-2016-4234. Interested parties were invited to participate in this 
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the 
FAA. No comments were received. Subsequent to publication, the FAA 
found an editorial error in the legal description for Marysville, KS; 
and the name of the town in the airspace designation and legal 
description for Atkinson Municipal Airport. These errors are corrected 
in this rule.
    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.

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 E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface by removing the approach extensions at Belleville Municipal 
Airport, Belleville, KS; Stanton County Municipal Airport, Johnson, KS; 
Marysville Municipal Airport, Marysville, KS; and Atkinson Municipal 
Airport, Pittsburg, KS, due to decommissioning of NDBs, removal of NDB 
approaches, and the implementation of RNAV standard instrument approach 
procedures at the airports. Also, controlled airspace at Washington 
County Veteran's Memorial Airport is reduced from a 7.3-mile radius to 
a 6.3-mile radius of the airport. This action also updates the 
geographic coordinates of Marysville Municipal Airport, Marysville, KS, 
and Atkinson Municipal Airport, Pittsburg, KS, as well as noting the 
correct town for Atkinson Municipal Airport. Additionally, this action 
notes the name of Washington County Veteran's Memorial Airport 
(formerly Washington County Memorial Airport) to coincide with the FAAs 
aeronautical database. This rule is necessary for the safety and 
management of IFR operations under standard instrument approach 
procedures at the above airports.

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 5-6.5.a. 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.
