This action proposes to modify Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area at Roberts Field, Redmond, OR, by removing the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) part-time status, and would modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at the airport. The geographic coordinates for Roberts Field in the associated Class D and E airspace areas also would be amended to match the FAA's aeronautical database. These changes are necessary to accommodate airspace redesign for the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations within the National Airspace System. Also, an editorial change would be made to the Class D and Class E airspace legal descriptions replacing Airport/ Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement.

Proposed Amendment of Class D and Class E Airspace; Redmond, OR

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to modify Class E airspace designated as 
an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area at Roberts Field, 
Redmond, OR, by removing the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) part-time status, 
and would modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface at the airport. The geographic coordinates for Roberts 
Field in the associated Class D and E airspace areas also would be 
amended to match the FAA's aeronautical database. These changes are 
necessary to accommodate airspace redesign for the safety and 
management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations within the 
National Airspace System. Also, an editorial change would be made to 
the Class D and Class E airspace legal descriptions replacing Airport/
Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement.

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 and Class E airspace at Roberts Field, 
Redmond, OR to accommodate airspace redesign for the safety and 
management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations within the 
National Airspace System.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed 
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as 
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the 
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing 
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are 
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,

[[Page 28604]]

environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal. 
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in 
triplicate to the address listed above. Persons wishing the FAA to 
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with 
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the 
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2017-0390/
Airspace Docket No. 17-ANM-11''. The postcard will be date/time stamped 
and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received before the specified closing date for 
comments will be considered before taking action on the proposed rule. 
The proposal contained in this notice may be changed in light of the 
comments received. A report summarizing each substantive public contact 
with FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the 
docket.

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed 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 proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by modifying Class E airspace designated 
as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area at Roberts Field, 
Redmond, OR, by shortening the segment to within 8.5 miles (from 13.5 
miles) of the airport. Also, this action would eliminate the following 
language from the legal description of Class E airspace designated as 
an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area at the airport, 
``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.''
    Additionally, this action would modify Class E airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface to reduce the area east (to 
within 9.6 miles, from 11.5 miles) and southeast (to within 13.1 miles, 
from 15 miles) of the airport, and expand the area southwest (to within 
10.5 miles, from 7.6 miles) of the airport. Also, this action would 
update the geographic coordinates for Roberts Field and replace the 
outdated term Airport/Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement 
in the Class D and Class E airspace legal descriptions. This proposed 
airspace redesign is necessary for the safety and management of IFR 
operations at the airport.
    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 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 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

    This proposal will 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.
