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 controlled airspace at Rochester International Airport, 
Rochester, MN and St. Cloud Regional Airport, St. Cloud, MN.

History

    In a review of the airspace, the FAA found the Class E surface 
airspace and Class E airspace designated as an extension, for Rochester 
International Airport, Rochester, MN, and St. Cloud Regional Airport, 
St. Cloud, MN, as published in FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace Designations 
and Reporting Points, does not require part time status. This is an 
administrative change removing the part time NOTAM information from the 
legal descriptions for the above airports.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 and 
6004 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 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 is effective during the specific dates and times established 
in advance by a Notice to Airmen. The effective date and time will 
thereafter be continuously published in the Airport/Facility 
Directory.'' from the regulatory text of Class E surface area airspace 
and Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D, at 
Rochester International Airport, Rochester, MN, and St. Cloud Regional 
Airport, St. Cloud, MN. Additionally, the geographic coordinates of the 
Rochester International Airport are being updated to coincide with the 
FAA's aeronautical database.
    This is an administrative change amending the description for the 
above Minnesota airports to be in concert with the FAA's 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, 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.
