This action modifies the Class D and E airspace areas at Sioux Gateway/Col. Bud Day Field, Sioux City, IA, due to the decommissioning of the Gateway non-directional radio beacon (NDB) and cancellation of the NDB approaches at the airport. The Class E airspace area designated as an extension is being removed as it is no longer needed. Advances in Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities have made this action necessary for the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This action also updates the geographic coordinates for Martin Field, NE., to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical database.

Amendment of Class D and E Airspace and Revocation of Class E 
Airspace; Sioux City, IA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class D and E airspace areas at Sioux 
Gateway/Col. Bud Day Field, Sioux City, IA, due to the decommissioning 
of the Gateway non-directional radio beacon (NDB) and cancellation of 
the NDB approaches at the airport. The Class E airspace area designated 
as an extension is being removed as it is no longer needed. Advances in 
Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities have made this action 
necessary for the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules 
(IFR) operations at the airport. This action also updates the 
geographic coordinates for Martin Field, NE., to coincide with the FAAs 
aeronautical database.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, January 5, 2017. 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 7400.11 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 D and E airspace at Sioux Gateway/Col. Bud Day 
Field, Sioux City, IA.

History

    On April 13, 2016, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify Class D airspace, Class 
E surface area airspace and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 
feet above the surface at Sioux Gateway/Col. Bud Day Field, Sioux City, 
IA (81 FR 21772) FAA-2015-7487. The Class E airspace area designated as 
an extension also would be removed as the extension is no longer 
needed. Interested parties were invited to participate in this 
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the 
FAA. One comment was received from Thomas Glennon, Aeronautical 
Information Services, citing a correction to the geographic coordinates 
for Martin Field, South Sioux City, NE., which has been incorporated 
into this final rule.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraph 
5000, 6002, 6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11A, dated 
August 3, 2016, and effective September 15, 2016, which is incorporated 
by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and 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 7400.11A, Airspace Designations and 
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15, 
2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A 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 surface area airspace and Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Sioux Gateway/Col. 
Bud Day Field, Sioux City, IA. The Class E airspace area designated as 
an extension also would be removed as the extension is no longer 
needed. After review, the FAA found that due to the decommissioning of 
the Gateway NDB, cancellation of the NDB approaches at the airport, 
advances in GPS capabilities, and implementation of RNAV procedures at 
Sioux Gateway/Col. Bud Day Field, the Class E airspace designated as a 
surface area no longer requires extensions and is reduced to within a 
4.3-mile radius of the airport; the Class E airspace designated as an 
extension to the Class D or Class E surface area is removed; and the 
Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet above the surface 
at the airport is reduced from a 7-mile radius to a 6.8-mile radius, 
with the northwest extension increased from 3 miles to 3.9 miles each 
side of the Sioux City VORTAC 319[deg] radial extending from the 6.8-
mile radius to 14.4 miles vice 25.3 miles; the northwest extension 
remains unchanged 4 miles each side of the 001[deg] bearing from the 
airport from the 6.8-mile radius to 12 miles. The extensions to the 
southeast and northwest on the Sioux City VORTAC 316[deg] radial are no 
longer required. All modifications to the Class E airspace are in 
accordance with airspace requirements specified in FAA Joint Order 
7400.2K. This action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR 
operations under standard instrument approach procedures at the 
airport. The geographic coordinates for Martin Field, South Sioux City, 
NE., are amended for the existing Class D and E airspace areas.

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.
