This action modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Virgil 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. Decommissioning of non-directional radio beacons (NDBs), cancellation of NDB approaches, and implementation of area navigation (RNAV) procedures have made this action necessary for the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at these airports. This action also updates 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 FAA's aeronautical database. O'Neal Airport, Vincennes, IN, is removed from this rule as the Class E airspace area was removed in a rule published in the Federal Register of October 23, 2015.

[Docket No. FAA-2016-4291; Airspace Docket No. 16-AGL-7]


Amendment of Class E Airspace for the following Indiana Towns; 
Goshen, IN; Greencastle, IN; Huntingburg, IN; North Vernon, IN; 
Rensselaer, IN; Tell City, IN; and Washington, IN

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 Virgil 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. Decommissioning of non-directional radio 
beacons (NDBs), cancellation of NDB approaches, and implementation of 
area navigation (RNAV) procedures have made this action necessary for 
the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations 
at these airports. This action also updates 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 FAA's aeronautical database. O'Neal Airport, 
Vincennes, IN, is removed from this rule as the Class E airspace area 
was removed in a rule published in the Federal Register of October 23, 
2015.

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 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 Virgil 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.

History

    On May 3, 2016, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice 
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) (81 FR 26499) Docket No. FAA-2016-4291, 
to modify Class E airspace at Virgil 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; Daviess County 
Airport, Washington, IN; and remove controlled airspace at O'Neal 
Airport, Vincennes, IN. 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 that Class E airspace extending upward from 
700 feet above the surface at O'Neal Airport, Vincennes, IN, was 
previously removed in a rule published in the Federal Register of 
October 23, 2015 (80 FR 64316) Docket No. FAA-2015-2049.
    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 part 71.1. The Class 
E airspace designation 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 at the following airports:

Within a 6.5-mile radius of Virgil I. Grissom Municipal Airport, 
Bedford, IN;
Within a 6.8-mile radius of Goshen Municipal Airport, Goshen, IN, and 
updates the geographic coordinates of this airport;
Within a 6.5-mile radius of Putnam County Airport, Greencastle, IN, and 
updates 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 
updates the geographic coordinates of this airport;
Within a 6.4-mile radius of Jasper County Airport, Rensselaer, IN, and 
updates the geographic coordinates of this airport;
Within a 6.4-mile radius of Perry County Municipal Airport, Tell City, 
IN, and updates 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.
    O'Neal Airport, Vincennes, IN, is removed from this rulemaking as 
the airspace was removed in a previously published rulemaking (80 FR 
64316, October 23, 2015), Docket No. FAA-2015-2049.

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.
