This action modifies Class D airspace, Class E surface area airspace, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Roswell, NM. This action is necessary due to advances Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities and implementation of area navigation (RNAV) procedures at Roswell International Air Center, Roswell, NM. Additionally, this action removes Class E airspace designated as an extension at Roswell International Air Center. This action also updates the name and geographic coordinates of the airport and the Chisum VHF omnidirectional range collocate tactical air navigation (VORTAC) to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class D airspace, Class E surface area 
airspace, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface at Roswell, NM. This action is necessary due to advances Global 
Positioning System (GPS) capabilities and implementation of area 
navigation (RNAV) procedures at Roswell International Air Center, 
Roswell, NM. Additionally, this action removes Class

E airspace designated as an extension at Roswell International Air 
Center. This action also updates the name and geographic coordinates of 
the airport and the Chisum VHF omnidirectional range collocate tactical 
air navigation (VORTAC) to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical 
database.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, April 27, 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 amends Class D and Class E airspace at Roswell International Air 
Center, Roswell, NM.

History

    On March 28, 2016, the FAA published in the Federal Register (81 FR 
17116) Docket No. FAA-2015-7488, a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 
to modify Class D airspace, Class E surface area airspace, Class E 
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, and remove 
Class E airspace designated as an extension at Roswell International 
Air Center, Roswell, NM. Interested parties were invited to participate 
in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the 
proposal to the FAA. Subsequent to publication, the FAA found that the 
geographic coordinates for the Chisum VORTAC needed to be adjusted to 
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. That adjustment has been 
incorporated in this action.
    Class D and 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.

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 modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface at Roswell International Air Center, Roswell, NM. 
Cancellation of the standard instrument approach procedures (SIAPs), 
advances in GPS capabilities, and implementation of RNAV procedures at 
Roswell International Air Center (formerly Roswell Industrial Air 
Center), is necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations 
at the airport.
    The class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface at the airport is reduced from a 12.7-mile radius to a 7.4-mile 
radius, with the extension to the northwest being reduced from 4 miles 
to 1.7 miles each side of the Chisum VORTAC 278[deg] radial extending 
from the 7.4-mile radius to 11 miles vice 23 miles; and the extension 
to the northeast being removed. Additionally, the Class E airspace 
designated as an extension at the airport is removed as it is no longer 
needed. All modifications to the Class E airspace are in accordance 
with airspace requirements specified in FAA Joint Order 7400.2K. The 
airport name and geographic coordinates are amended in the existing 
Class D and Class E airspace areas to be in concert with the FAA's 
aeronautical database. The geographic coordinates for the Chisum VORTAC 
noted in Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface are also adjusted.

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 5-6.5.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.
