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 would amend Class E airspace at Arcata Airport, Arcata, CA, and 
Rohnerville Airport, Fortuna, CA, and would establish Class E airspace 
at Murray Field, Eureka, CA.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed 
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as 
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the 
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing 
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are 
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal. 
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in 
triplicate to the address listed above. Persons wishing the FAA to 
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with 
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the 
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2015-6751/
Airspace Docket No. 15-AWP-18''. The postcard will be date/time stamped 
and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received before the specified closing date for 
comments will be considered before taking action on the proposed rule. 
The proposal contained in this notice may be changed in light of the 
comments received. A report summarizing each substantive public contact 
with FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the 
docket.

Availability of NPRMs

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the 
Internet at http://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking 
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's Web page at http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/airspace_amendments/.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any 
comments received, and any final disposition in person in the Dockets 
Office (see the

ADDRESSES section for the address and phone number) between 9:00 a.m. 
and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal holidays. An 
informal docket may also be examined during normal business hours at 
the Northwest Mountain Regional Office of the Federal Aviation 
Administration, Air Traffic Organization, Western Service Center,

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by 
Reference

    This document proposes to amend 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 Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E surface area airspace 
at Arcata Airport, Arcata, CA, and Rohnerville Airport, Fortuna, CA, 
and establishing Class E airspace designated as an extension at Arcata 
Airport. Also, stand-alone Class E airspace extending upward from 700 
feet above the surface would be established at Murray Field Airport, 
Eureka, CA. This proposed airspace redesign is necessary for the safety 
and management of IFR operations at these airports, and for efficiency 
within the National Airspace System.
    At Arcata Airport, Arcata, CA, Class E surface area airspace would 
be expanded by 0.1 miles to within 4.1 miles of the airport, and the 
Abeta NDB would be removed from the description as it was 
decommissioned and no longer needed; Class E airspace designated as an 
extension to a Class D or Class E surface area would be established 
within 2.9 miles each side of the 153 degree bearing from the Arcata 
Airport extending from the 4.1-mile radius to 10.5 miles southeast of 
the airport. Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface would be reduced to within a 7-mile radius of the airport, with 
a segment 4.2 miles wide (2.1 miles each side of the 153 degree 
bearing) extending from the 7-mile radius of the airport to 14.1 miles 
southeast of the airport. Class E airspace upward from 1,200 feet above 
the surface would be removed, since this airspace is wholly contained 
within the Rogue Valley Class E en route airspace area.
    At Eureka, CA, this proposal would establish a designated stand-
alone Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface 
within a 6.3-mile radius of Murray Field Airport with a segment 6.3 
miles wide extending to 23 miles southwest of the airport. This 
airspace area would specifically support IFR operations at Eureka, CA, 
and would be unaffected by any proposed changes that would occur at any 
other airport.
    At Fortuna, CA, this proposal would reduce Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 2.7-mile 
radius (from a 6.5-mile radius) of Rohnerville Airport, with segments 
extending 7 miles northwest, 5.2 miles west, and 6.1 miles southeast of 
the airport. Class E airspace upward from 1,200 feet above the surface 
would be removed since this airspace is wholly contained within the 
Rogue Valley Class E en route airspace area.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 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 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 will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in 
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies 
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
