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 designated as a surface area at Findlay 
Airport, Findlay, OH; and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 
feet above the surface at Ashland County Airport, Ashland, OH; 
Lakefield Airport, Celina, OH; Pickaway County Memorial Airport, 
Circleville, OH; Ross County Airport, Chillicothe, OH; Fairfield County 
Airport, Lancaster, OH; Defiance Memorial Airport, Defiance, OH; 
Findlay Airport; Bluffton Airport, Findlay, OH; Butler County Airport-
Hogan Field, Hamilton, OH; Lima Allen County Airport, Lima, OH; and 
Madison County Airport, London, OH.

History

    On September 27, 2016, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), (81 FR 66221) Docket No. FAA-
2016-8839, to modify Class E airspace designated as a surface area at 
Findlay Airport, Findlay, OH; and Class E airspace extending upward 
from 700 feet above the surface at Ashland County Airport, Ashland, OH; 
Lakefield Airport, Celina, OH; Pickaway County Memorial Airport, 
Circleville, OH; Ross County Airport, Chillicothe, OH; Fairfield County 
Airport, Lancaster, OH; Defiance Memorial Airport, Defiance, OH; 
Findlay Airport; Bluffton Airport, Findlay, OH; Butler County Airport-
Hogan Field, Hamilton, OH; Lima Allen County Airport, Lima, OH; and 
Madison County Airport, London, OH. Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    Subsequent to publication, the FAA discovered a typographical error 
in the geographic coordinates for Yellow Bud VOR (lat. 39[deg]31'2637'' 
N. vice lat. 39[deg]31'37'' N.) listed in the boundary description for 
Circleville, OH. This error has been corrected in this action.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 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 E airspace designations

[[Page 12714]]

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 airspace designated as a surface area at Findlay Airport, 
Findlay, OH, by removing the segments extending from the 4.3-mile 
radius 7.4 miles south and northeast of the airport, and updating the 
geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's 
aeronautical database.
    Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface:
    By updating the geographic coordinates of Ashland County Airport 
and noting the name change of Samaritan Hospital Heliport (formerly 
Samaritian Regional Health System), Ashland, OH, to coincide with the 
FAA's aeronautical database;
    Within a 6.4-mile radius (reduced from a 7-mile radius) of 
Lakefield Airport, Celina, OH, and updates the geographic coordinates 
of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
    Within a 6.4-mile radius (reduced from a 10-mile radius) of 
Pickaway County Memorial Airport, Circleville, OH, with an extension 
from the 6.4-mile radius to 10.5 miles north of the airport, and within 
a 6.5-mile radius (reduced from a 9.1-mile radius) of Ross County 
Airport, Chillicothe, OH, and updates the geographic coordinates of the 
Ross County Airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
    By updating the geographic coordinates of Port Columbus 
International Airport, Columbus, OH, and amending the radius of the 
Fairfield County Airport, Lancaster, OH, to within a 7.0-mile radius 
(increased from a 6.4-mile radius);
    Within a 6.4-mile radius (reduced from a 7-mile radius) of Defiance 
Memorial Airport, Defiance, OH, and updates the geographic coordinates 
and name of Defiance Regional Medical Center Heliport (formerly 
Defiance Hospital), Defiance, OH, to coincide with the FAA's 
aeronautical database;
    Within a 6.8-mile radius (reduced from a 7.4-mile radius) of 
Findlay Airport, Findlay, OH, and within a 7.2-mile radius (increased 
from a 6.6-mile radius) of Bluffton Airport, Findlay, OH, and updates 
the geographic coordinates of these airports to coincide with the FAA's 
aeronautical database;
    Within a 6.9-mile radius (increased from a 6.6-mile radius) of 
Butler County Regional Airport-Hogan Field, Hamilton, OH, and updates 
the name of the airport (formerly Butler County Regional Airport) to 
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
    By removing the Allen County VOR from the boundary description of 
Lima Allen County Airport, Lima, OH, and updating the name of St. 
Rita's Medical Center Heliport (formerly Saint Rita's Medical Center), 
Lima, OH, and updating the geographic and point in space coordinates of 
these airports to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
    And by removing the segment extending from the 6.4-mile radius 7.4 
miles west of Madison County Airport, London, OH.
    Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of 
NDBs, cancellation of NDB approaches, and implementation of RNAV 
procedures at the above airports for the safety and management of the 
standard instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at these 
airports.

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.
