This action amends Class E Airspace at Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport, Ithaca, NY; and Kingston VORTAC, Poughkeepsie, NY, by eliminating the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) part time status of the Class E surface airspace designated as an extension at the Ithaca and Poughkeepsie locations. This action also adds Dutchess County Airport to the Kingston VORTAC designation, updates the geographic coordinates of each navigation aid and Ithaca Tompkins Regional to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database, and recognizes the airport name for Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport. This is an administrative change to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

Amendment of Class E Airspace for the following New York Towns; 
Ithaca, NY; Poughkeepsie, NY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E Airspace at Ithaca Tompkins 
Regional Airport, Ithaca, NY; and Kingston VORTAC, Poughkeepsie, NY, by 
eliminating the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) part time status of the Class 
E surface airspace designated as an extension at the Ithaca and 
Poughkeepsie locations. This action also adds Dutchess County Airport 
to the Kingston VORTAC designation, updates the geographic coordinates 
of each navigation aid and Ithaca Tompkins Regional to coincide with 
the FAA's aeronautical database, and recognizes the airport name for 
Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport. This is an administrative change to 
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, March 31, 2016. The Director of the Federal

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 the New York airports listed in this 
final rule.

History

    In a review of the airspace, the FAA found the airspace description 
for Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport, Ithaca, NY, formerly Tompkins 
County Airport, and Kingston VORTAC, Poughkeepsie, NY, as published in 
FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, does not 
match the FAA's charting information. This administrative change 
coincides with the FAA's aeronautical database for Class E Airspace 
Designated as an Extension to a Class D Surface Area.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraphs 6004 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 action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
Part 71 by eliminating the NOTAM information that reads ``This Class E 
airspace area is effective during the specific dates and

[[Page 5903]]

time established in advance by Notice to Airmen. The effective date and 
time will thereafter be continuously published in the Airport/Facility 
Directory.'' from the regulatory text of the Class E airspace 
designated as an extension to Class D at Ithaca Tompkins Regional 
Airport, Ithaca, NY; and the Kingston VORTAC, Poughkeepsie, NY. Also, 
as Dutchess County Airport, Poughkeepsie, NY, is supported by the 
Kingston VORTAC, it is included in the VORTAC designation.
    Additionally, the geographic coordinates for the listed navaids and 
Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport are updated to be in concert with the 
FAA's aeronautical database. The FAA also recognizes the airport's name 
change from Tompkins County Airport, Ithaca, NY, to Ithaca Tomkins 
Regional Airport, Ithaca, NY.
    This is an administrative change amending the description for the 
above New York airports, to be in concert with the FAAs aeronautical 
database, and does not affect the boundaries, or operating requirements 
of the airspace, therefore, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 
553(b) are unnecessary.

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. 
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.
