airports. This action also updates the geographic coordinates and 
airport names for certain airports listed in the associated Class D and 
E airspace areas.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, December 7, 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 modifies Class D and E airspace to support IFR operations in 
standard instrument approach procedures at the following airports: 
Wahpeton/Harry Stern Airport, Wahpeton, ND; Hettinger Municipal 
Airport, Hettinger, ND; Gwinner-Roger Melroe Field, Gwinner, ND; Rugby 
Municipal Airport, Rugby, ND; Hector International Airport, Fargo, ND; 
Grand Forks Air Force Base, Grand Forks, ND; Carrington Municipal 
Airport, Carrington, ND; Pembina Municipal Airport, Pembina, ND; 
Bottineau Municipal Airport, Bottineau, ND; Cooperstown Municipal 
Airport, ND; Devils Lake Regional Airport, Devils Lake, ND, and Barnes 
County Municipal Airport, Valley City, ND.

History

    On January 13, 2017, the FAA published in the Federal Register (82 
FR 4222) Docket No. FAA-2016-9118 a notice of proposed rulemaking 
(NPRM) to modify Class D and Class E airspace at Wahpeton/Harry Stern 
Airport, Wahpeton, ND; Hettinger Municipal Airport, Hettinger, ND; 
Gwinner-Roger Melroe Field, Gwinner, ND; Rugby Municipal Airport, 
Rugby, ND; Hector International Airport, Fargo, ND; Grand Forks Air 
Force Base, Grand Forks, ND; Carrington Municipal Airport, Carrington, 
ND; Pembina Municipal Airport, Pembina, ND; Bottineau Municipal 
Airport, Bottineau, ND; Cooperstown Municipal Airport, ND; Devils Lake 
Regional Airport, Devils Lake, ND, and Barnes County Municipal Airport, 
Valley City, ND. Interested parties were invited to participate in this 
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the 
FAA. One commenter noted that two of the proposed legal descriptions 
contained inconsistent longitude for Grand Forks Air Force Base. The 
FAA has corrected this inconsistency in the final rule. The other 
stated no comment.
    Also, a minor correction is made in the proposal for Hettinger 
Municipal Airport, Hettinger, ND, listed in Class E airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface. The airspace description should 
read ``Within a 6.5-mile radius (increased from a 6.4-mile) radius . . 
.'', instead of ``Within a 6.4-mile radius (previously a 7-mile 
radius)''.
    Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in 
paragraphs 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 Class E 
airspace designation 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 by:
    Modifying geographic coordinates in Class D airspace for Hector 
International Airport, Fargo, ND; and
    Modifying Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface:
    Within a 6.4-mile radius (reduced from a 7-mile radius) of Harry 
Stern Airport, Wahpeton, ND, and updating the geographic coordinates of 
the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
    Within a 6.5-mile radius (increased from a 6.4-mile radius) of 
Hettinger Municipal Airport, Hettinger, ND, and updating the geographic 
coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical 
database;
    Within a 6.5-mile radius (reduced from a 7-mile radius) of Gwinner-
Roger Melroe Field, Gwinner, ND, and updating the geographic 
coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical 
database; and
    Within a 6.3-mile radius (reduced from a 7-mile radius) of Rugby 
Municipal Airport, Rugby, ND, and updating the geographic coordinates 
of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    The geographic coordinates will be adjusted for Hector 
International Airport, Fargo, ND; Grand Forks Air Force Base, Grand 
Forks, ND; Barnes County Municipal Airport, Valley City, ND; Pembina 
Municipal Airport, Pembina, ND; Devils Lake VOR/DME; Devils Lake 
Regional Airport, Devils Lake, ND; Carrington Municipal Airport, 
Carrington, ND; Bottineau Municipal Airport, Bottineau, ND; Cooperstown 
Municipal Airport, ND, as well as the airport names for Barnes County 
Municipal Airport (formerly Valley City/Barnes County Municipal), 
Valley City, ND, and Devils Lake Regional Airport (formerly Devils Lake 
Municipal Airport), Devils Lake, ND, to coincide with the FAA's 
aeronautical database.
    Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of 
NDBs, cancellation of NDB approaches, and implementation of RNAV 
procedures at these airports. Controlled airspace is necessary for the 
safety and management of the standard instrument approach procedures 
for IFR operations at the airports.

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

[[Page 28403]]

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

    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 5-6.5.a. 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.
