This action amends the legal descriptions of Class E surface area airspace, and Class E airspace designated as an extension in the Enid, OK, area eliminating the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) part-time status at Vance AFB, and Enid Woodring Municipal Airport. This action also updates the geographic coordinates of Vance AFB, Woodring Municipal Airport, and the Vance VHF Omnidirectional Range Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) listed for Class D and Class E airspace. This is an administrative change to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

SUMMARY: This action amends the legal descriptions of Class E surface 
area airspace, and Class E airspace designated as an extension in the

also updates the geographic coordinates of Vance AFB, Woodring

Navigation (VORTAC) listed for Class D and Class E airspace. 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 controlled airspace at Vance AFB, Enid, OK, and Woodring 
Municipal Airport, Enid, OK.

[[Page 8390]]

History

    In a review of the airspace, the FAA found the airspace for Vance 
AFB, and Enid Woodring Municipal Airport, Enid, OK, 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 description for the 
airports, and also brings current the airport reference point and 
NAVAID coordinates.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraphs 5000, 
6002, 6004, and 6005, respectively, 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 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 the Class E surface area 
airspace, and Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D, 
at Vance AFB, Enid, OK, and Woodring Municipal Airport, Enid, OK. 
Additionally, the geographic coordinates of Vance AFB, Woodring 
Municipal Airport, and the Vance VORTAC are updated for the Class D and 
Class E airspace areas listed in this rule to coincide with the FAA's 
aeronautical database.
    This is an administrative change amending the description for Vance 
AFB and Woodring Municipal Airport, Enid, OK, 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.
