This action proposes to amend Class D airspace, Class E surface area airspace, and Class E airspace upward from 700 feet above the surface at Pueblo Memorial Airport, Pueblo, CO. The part-time Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) information would be removed from Class E airspace designated as an extension. The geographic coordinates for Pueblo Memorial Airport in the associated Class D and E airspace areas also would be amended to match the FAA's aeronautical database. A biennial review found 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; Pueblo, CO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend Class D airspace, Class E 
surface area airspace, and Class E airspace upward from 700 feet above 
the surface at Pueblo Memorial Airport, Pueblo, CO. The part-time 
Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) information would be removed from Class E 
airspace designated as an extension. The geographic coordinates for

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 Pueblo Memorial 
Airport, Pueblo, CO to support IFR operations at the airport.

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, 
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-2017-0666/
Airspace Docket No. 17-ANM-15''. 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 of NPRMs

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the 
Internet at http://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking 
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's Web page at http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/airspace_amendments/.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any 
comments received, and any final disposition in person in the Dockets 
Office (see the ADDRESSES section for the address and phone number) 
between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal 
holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal 
business hours at the Northwest Mountain Regional Office of the Federal 
Aviation Administration, Air Traffic Organization, Western Service 
Center, Operations Support Group, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton, WA

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

[[Page 36104]]

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 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 
Pueblo Memorial Airport, Pueblo, CO.
    Class D airspace and Class E surface area airspace would be reduced 
to within a 5.1-mile radius (from 5.6 miles) of Pueblo Memorial 
Airport.
    The Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D or 
Class E surface area east of the airport would be modified to a 7.2 
mile wide segment (from 7 miles) extending to 11.3 miles (from 11.4 
miles) east of the airport; the segment west of the airport would be 
removed as it is not necessary to support current operations; and a 
segment would be established north of the airport within 1.6 miles west 
and 1.3 miles east of the 358[deg] bearing from the airport extending 
from the 5.1 mile radius to 6.7 miles north 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,'' since the 
airspace remains in effect full time.
    Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet would be reduced to 
within a 7.6-mile radius of the Pueblo Memorial Airport with extensions 
to 12 miles north and 12.3 miles east of the airport (from a 21.8-mile 
radius with an extension to 28.2 miles east). Also, this action would 
remove Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the 
surface since the airspace is wholly contained within the Denver Class 
E en route airspace area and duplication is not necessary.
    Additionally, this action would update the geographic coordinates 
for Pueblo Memorial Airport and replace the outdated term ``Airport/
Facility Directory'' with the term ``Chart Supplement'' in the 
associated 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 
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 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, 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 proposed 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.
