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 Class E airspace at Mahlon Sweet Field Airport, Eugene,
OR, to ensure the safety and management of aircraft within the National
Airspace System.

History

The FAA Aeronautical Information Services branch found the Class E
surface area airspace at Mahlon Sweet Field Airport, Eugene, OR, as
published in FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace Designations and Reporting
Points, requires NOTAM part-time status to avoid overlap with the part-
time Class D surface area airspace at the same airport. The FAA
inadvertently removed the NOTAM language from the regulatory text of
the Class E surface area airspace.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 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.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

This document amends 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.

The Rule

This action amends Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by adding the following language to the legal description of
Class E surface area airspace at Mahlon Sweet Field Airport, Eugene, OR
that reads, ``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 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

[[Page 27991]]

significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances
exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.
