This action proposes to amend Class D and Class E airspace at Coastal Carolina Regional Airport (formally Craven County Regional Airport), New Bern, NC. The Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) part-time status would be removed from Class E airspace designated as an extension, as well as the segment using the New Bern VHF Omnidirectional Range/ Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) navigation aid used to describe the northeast and southwest extensions to the airport. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This action also would update the geographic coordinates of the airport, update the airport's name, and make an editorial change replacing Airport/Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement in the legal descriptions of associated Class D and E airspace.

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend Class D and Class E airspace at 
Coastal Carolina Regional Airport (formally Craven County Regional 
Airport), New Bern, NC. The Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) part-time status 
would be removed from Class E airspace designated as an extension, as 
well as the segment using the New Bern VHF Omnidirectional Range/
Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) navigation aid used to describe 
the northeast and southwest extensions to the airport. Controlled 
airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument 
flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This action also would 
update the geographic coordinates of the airport, update the airport's 
name, and make an editorial change replacing Airport/Facility Directory 
with the term Chart Supplement in the legal descriptions of associated 
Class D and E airspace.

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, Class E surface area airspace, 
Class E airspace designated as an extension, and Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, at Coastal Carolina 
Regional Airport, New Bern, NC.

Comments Invited

    Interested persons are invited to comment on this rule by 
submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as they may desire. 
Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the views and

regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are specifically invited 
on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic, environmental, and 
energy-related aspects of the proposal.

Availability and Summary of Documents 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 considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 to amend Class D airspace, Class E surface 
area airspace, Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D 
surface area, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet or 
more above the surface

[[Page 24266]]

at Coastal Carolina Regional Airport (formerly Craven County Regional 
Airport), New Bern, NC. The NOTAM part-time status would be removed 
from the Class E airspace area designated as an extension to a Class D 
surface area.
    Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface 
would be amended to within a 7-mile radius (from a 6.5-mile radius) of 
the airport. The New Bern VOR/DME would be removed from the description 
as it is no longer needed to describe the boundaries of the airport.
    For the associated Class D and E airspace areas, the geographic 
coordinates of the airport would be adjusted to coincide with the FAAs 
aeronautical database, and the airport name would be changed from 
Craven County Regional Airport to Coastal Carolina Regional Airport.
    Also, this action would replace the outdated term Airport/Facility 
Directory with the term Chart Supplement in the associated Class D and 
E airspace legal descriptions.
    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 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 proposed regulation only involves 
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
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 proposed rule, when promulgated, will 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 would 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.
