This action establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 4.7-mile radius of Manti-Ephraim Airport, Manti, UT, with segments extending north and southwest of the airport, to accommodate new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures developed for the airport. This airspace is necessary for new Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations for standard instrument approach procedures and to support the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport.

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 
700 feet above the surface within a 4.7-mile radius of Manti-Ephraim 
Airport, Manti, UT, with segments extending north and southwest of the 
airport, to accommodate new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning 
System (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures developed for the 
airport. This airspace is necessary for new Instrument Flight Rules

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 at Manti-Ephraim Airport, Manti, 
UT.

History

    On November 22, 2016, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (81 FR, 83749) FAA-2016-8164, proposing 
to establish Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface within a 4-mile radius of Manti-Ephraim Airport, Manti, UT, 
with segments extending from the 4-mile radius to 11 miles southwest, 
and 7.2 miles northeast of the airport. The FAA received one comment 
and concurred with the request by the National Business Aviation 
Association to develop IFR standard instrument approach circling 
procedures for category D aircraft for the airport. The additional IFR 
category D circling

[[Page 15129]]

procedures would require additional airspace for the safety if IFR 
aircraft using the new procedure.
    On January 23, 2017, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (82 FR, 7737) FAA-2016-8164, 
proposing to establish Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface within a 4.7-mile radius (from the proposed 4-mile 
radius) of Manti-Ephraim Airport, Manti, UT, with segments extending 
from the 4.7-mile radius to 11 miles southwest, and 7.2 miles northeast 
of the airport. One comment was received in favor of the proposal.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 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 designation 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 establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface within a 4.7-mile radius of Manti-Ephraim Airport, 
Manti, UT, with segments extending from the 4.7-mile radius to 11 miles 
southwest of the airport, and 7.2 miles northeast of the airport. This 
airspace is established to accommodate new Area Navigation (RNAV) 
Global Positioning System (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures 
developed for the airport.

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 exist that warrant preparation of an 
environmental assessment.
