This action modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Hutchinson Municipal Airport-Butler Field, Hutchinson, MN; Jackson Municipal Airport, Jackson, MN; Pipestone Municipal Airport, Pipestone, MN; Richard B. Helgeson Airport, Two Harbors, MN; and Waseca Municipal Airport, Waseca, MN. Decommissioning of the non-directional radio beacon (NDB), 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 the above airports. This action also updates the geographic coordinates at Hutchinson Municipal-Butler Field, Jackson Municipal Airport, Pipestone Municipal Airport, and Richard B. Helgeson Airport, to coincide with the FAA's 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 amends Class E airspace at Hutchinson Municipal Airport-Butler 
Field, Hutchinson, MN; Jackson Municipal Airport, Jackson, MN; 
Pipestone Municipal Airport, Pipestone, MN; Richard B. Helgeson 
Airport, Two Harbors, MN; and Waseca Municipal Airport, Waseca, MN.

History

    On May 3, 2016, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice 
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify Class E airspace at Hutchinson 
Municipal Airport-Butler Field, Hutchinson, MN; Jackson Municipal 
Airport, Jackson, MN; Pipestone Municipal Airport, Pipestone, MN; 
Richard B. Helgeson Airport, Two Harbors, MN; and Waseca Municipal 
Airport, Waseca, MN (81 FR 26497) Docket No. FAA-2016-4271. 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 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 6.6-mile radius of Hutchinson Municipal Airport-Butler Field, 
Hutchinson, MN;
Within a 6.3-mile radius of Jackson Municipal Airport, Jackson, MN;
Within a 6.5-mile radius of Pipestone Municipal Airport, Pipestone, MN;
Within a 7-mile radius of Richard B. Helgeson Airport, Two Harbors, MN; 
and
Within a 6.3-mile radius of Waseca Municipal Airport, Waseca, MN.

    Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of 
non-directional radio beacons (NDB), cancellation of NDB approaches, 
and implementation of area navigation (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. Geographic coordinates are being adjusted 
for the following airports: Hutchinson Municipal-Butler Field, Jackson 
Municipal Airport, Pipestone Municipal Airport, and Richard B. Helgeson 
Airport, to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical database.

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

[[Page 52762]]

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.
