This action establishes additional Class E en route domestic airspace around the Iron Mountain VHF omnidirectional range/distance measuring equipment, MI, to facilitate vectoring of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) aircraft under control of Minneapolis Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC). This action enhances the safety and efficiency of IFR operations within the National Airspace System. This action also removes the Federal airways exclusionary language from the regulatory text. Additionally, the correct navigation aid is noted in Class E 700 foot airspace.

Establishment of Class E Airspace; Iron Mountain, MI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

[[Page 11808]]


ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes additional Class E en route domestic 
airspace around the Iron Mountain VHF omnidirectional range/distance 
measuring equipment, MI, to facilitate vectoring of Instrument Flight 
Rules (IFR) aircraft under control of Minneapolis Air Route Traffic 
Control Center (ARTCC). This action enhances the safety and efficiency 
of IFR operations within the National Airspace System. This action also 
removes the Federal airways exclusionary language from the regulatory 
text. Additionally, the correct navigation aid is noted in Class E 700 
foot airspace.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, April 27, 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 7400.11A 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 establishes controlled airspace in the Iron Mountain, MI, area.

History

    On July 29, 2016, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish additional Class E en 
route airspace in the Iron Mountain, MI area. (81 FR 49902) Docket No. 
FAA-2016-6271. Interested parties were invited to participate in this 
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the 
FAA. No comments were received.

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 establishes additional Class E en route airspace extending 
upward from 1,200 feet above the surface at the Iron Mountain VOR/DME, 
Iron Mountain, MI, and adds additional controlled airspace to the 
southern and northern boundaries of the Iron Mountain en route airspace 
area, and removes exclusionary information from the regulatory text. 
This action provides controlled airspace enabling Minneapolis ARTCC 
greater latitude to use radar vectors and altitude changes within the 
entire area north and northwest of the Iron Mountain, MI, VOR/DME and 
removes unnecessary exclusionary language for clarity.
    This action also amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 
feet above the surface at Iron Mountain/Kingford, Ford Airport, MI, to 
reflect the name change of the navigation aid from Iron Mountain VORTAC 
to Iron Mountain VOR/DME.
    Class E airspace designations are published in Sections 6005 and 
6006, 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 E airspace designations listed in this document 
will be published subsequently in the Order.

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 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to 
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no 
extraordinary circumstances exists that warrant preparation of an 
environmental assessment.
