This action proposes to: amend Class D airspace at North Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field, Sherman, TX; amend Class E surface airspace at Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport, Temple, TX; amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at North Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field and Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport; and establish Class E airspace designated as an extension at Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport. Cancellation of standard instrument approach procedures at these airports has made this action necessary for the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations. Additionally, geographic coordinates, names of airports, and a navigation aid would be adjusted to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

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 D airspace at North Texas

[[Page 18597]]

Regional Airport/Perrin Field, Sherman, TX; Class E surface airspace at 
Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport, Temple, TX; Class E 
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at North 
Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field and Draughon-Miller Central Texas 
Regional Airport; and establish Class E airspace designated as an 
extension at Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport.

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. Commenters wishing the FAA to 
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with

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 D airspace within a 4.7-mile radius (reduced from a 5.0-mile 
radius) at North Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field (formerly Grayson 
County Airport), Sherman/Denison, TX, and updating the name of the 
airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database; Class E 
surface airspace within a 4.2-mile radius (increased from a 4.1-mile 
radius) at Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport (formerly 
Draughon-Miller Municipal Airport), Temple, TX, eliminating the 
extension southeast of the airport, and updating the name and 
geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's 
aeronautical database;
    Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface:
    Within a 7.2-mile radius (increased from a 6.9-mile radius) of 
North Texas Regional Airport/Perrin Field (formerly Grayson County 
Airport), Sherman/Denison, TX, and updating the name and geographic 
coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical 
database;
    Within a 6.7-mile radius of Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional 
Airport (formerly Draughon-Miller Municipal Airport), Temple, TX, 
eliminating the extensions north and southeast of the airport, amending 
the extension northwest of the airport from the 6.7-mile radius to 14.4 
miles (reduced from 19.5 miles), adding an extension south of the 
airport from the 6.7-mile radius to 10.1 miles, adding an extension 
southwest of the airport from the 6.7-mile radius to 9.7 miles, and 
updating the name and geographic coordinates of the airport and the 
name of the Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Localizer (formerly 
Draughon-Miller Localizer) to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical 
database;
    And establishing Class E airspace designated as an extension to 
Class E surface airspace within a 4.2-mile radius of Draughon-Miller 
Central Texas Regional Airport, Temple, TX, with an extension southeast 
7.7 miles.
    Cancellation of standard instrument approach procedures at these 
airports prompted the FAA to conduct a review of the airspace. 
Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of 
standard instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at these 
airports.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraph 
5000, 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 D and 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.
