This action amends the legal description of the Class E airspace designated as an extension, at Aspen Pitkin County/Sardy Field, Aspen, CO, and Pueblo Memorial Airport, Pueblo, CO, eliminating the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) part-time status. This action also updates the geographic coordinates of these airports in the associated Class D and E airspace areas to match the FAA's current aeronautical database. This action does not affect the charted boundaries or operating requirements of the airspace.

the geographic coordinates of these airports in the associated Class D 
and E airspace areas to match the FAA's current aeronautical database. 
This action does not affect the charted boundaries or operating 
requirements of the airspace.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, June 22, 2017. The Director of the Federal

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 removes NOTAM information in Class D extension airspace and 
amends the airport's geographic coordinates in associated Class D and 
Class E airspace for the above noted airports in Aspen, CO, and Pueblo, 
CO.

History

    The FAA Aeronautical Information Services branch found the Class E 
airspace designated as an extension for Aspen Pitkin County/Sardy 
Field, Aspen, CO, and Pueblo Memorial Airport, Pueblo, CO, as published 
in FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, does 
not require part-time status. Also, after a review, the FAA found the 
geographic coordinates referenced in the airspace legal descriptions 
under Class D and Class E airspace areas for Aspen Pitkin County/Sardy 
Field, Aspen, CO, and Pueblo Memorial Airport, Pueblo, CO do not match 
the FAA's current aeronautical database. This rulemaking makes these 
updates.
    Class D and Class 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 part 71.1. The Class D and 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,

[[Page 18982]]

air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by eliminating the following NOTAM information from the 
regulatory text of Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class 
D, at Aspen Pitkin County/Sardy Field, Aspen, CO, and Pueblo Memorial 
Airport, Pueblo, CO: ``This Class E airspace is effective during the 
specific dates and times established in advance by a Notice to Airmen. 
The effective date and time will thereafter be continuously published 
in the Airport/Facility Directory.'' Also, this action updates the 
geographic coordinates of these airports in the associated Class D and 
Class E airspace areas to match the FAA's current aeronautical 
database.
    An editorial change is made in the airspace description for Class D 
airspace and Class E surface area airspace, replacing Airport/Facility 
Directory with the current term Chart Supplement.
    This is an administrative change and does not affect the 
boundaries, altitudes, or operating requirements of the airspace, 
therefore, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is 
unnecessary.

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.
