This action modifies Class E surface area airspace, Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, and establishes Class E en route airspace at Paso Robles Municipal Airport, Paso Robles, CA. Also, the geographic coordinates of the airport are adjusted to match the current FAA aeronautical database. These changes are necessary to support new Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) standard instrument approach procedures at the airport and en route operations where the Federal airway structure is inadequate.

Amendment of Class E Airspace and Establishment of Class E En 
Route Airspace; Paso Robles, CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E surface area airspace, Class E 
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, and 
establishes Class E en route airspace at Paso Robles Municipal Airport, 
Paso Robles, CA. Also, the geographic coordinates of the airport are 
adjusted to match the current FAA aeronautical database. These changes 
are necessary to support new Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) standard 
instrument approach procedures at the airport and en route operations 
where the Federal airway structure is inadequate.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, June 22, 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 7400.11 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 amends controlled airspace at Paso Robles Municipal Airport, Paso 
Robles, CA.

History

    On November 10, 2016, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify Class E surface area 
airspace, Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface, and establish Class E en route airspace at Paso Robles 
Municipal Airport, Paso Robles, CA. (81 FR 78949) Docket No. FAA-2016-
9295. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No 
comments were received.
    The FAA is transitioning from a system of ground based navigational 
aids, which are being decommissioned, to Global Navigation Satellite 
System (GNSS) for navigation and found airspace redesign necessary to 
support new GNSS standard instrument approach procedures and en route, 
point-to-point clearances for which the Federal airway structure is 
inadequate.
    Except for an editorial change adding the airport name in the 
regulatory text for Class E en route airport, this rule is the same as 
published in the NPRM.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002, 
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 part 71.1. The Class E airspace designations 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 surface area airspace, Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, and establishes Class 
E en route airspace upward from 1,200 feet above the surface at Paso 
Robles Municipal Airport, Paso Robles, CA.
    Class E surface airspace is modified to within a 5.7-mile radius of 
Paso Robles Municipal Airport (from a 5-mile radius), and language 
excluding the Hunter Low A, Hunter Low B, and Roberts Military 
Operations Areas is removed.
    Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface 
is slightly enlarged north and south of the airport to accommodate new 
Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) standard 
instrument approach procedures developed for the airport.
    Additionally, Class E en route airspace extending upward from 1,200 
feet above the surface is established at the airport to adjoin the 
Monterey, Lemoore, Bakersfield, and Santa Barbara Class E airspace 
areas upward from 1,200 feet above the surface, to provide controlled 
airspace where the Federal airway structure is inadequate. Also, the 
geographic coordinates of the airport are adjusted to match the FAA's 
aeronautical database.

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.

[[Page 18855]]

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.
