This action modifies Class E airspace extending up to 700 feet above the surface at Wayne Municipal/Stan Morris Field (formally the Wayne Municipal Airport), Wayne, NE, to accommodate new standard instrument approach procedures for instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This action is necessary due to the decommissioning of the Wayne non-directional radio beacon (NDB) serving the airport, and cancellation of the NDB approach. This action enhances the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. The new airport name was not included in the NPRM and is being corrected. The geographic coordinates of the airport also are updated to be in concert with the FAA's aeronautical database.

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Wayne, NE

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace extending up to 700 feet
above the surface at Wayne Municipal/Stan Morris Field (formally the
Wayne Municipal Airport), Wayne, NE, to accommodate new standard
instrument approach procedures for instrument flight rules (IFR)
operations at the airport. This action is necessary due to the
decommissioning of the Wayne non-directional radio beacon (NDB) serving
the airport, and cancellation of the NDB approach. This action enhances
the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. The new
airport name was not included in the NPRM and is being corrected. The
geographic coordinates of the airport also are updated to be in concert
with the FAA's aeronautical database.

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

[[Page 44721]]

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 modify
Class E airspace extending up to and including 700 feet above the
surface area at Wayne Municipal/Stan Morris Field, Wayne, NE, in
support of the instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at the
airport. The geographic coordinates of the airport also will be updated
to be in concert with the FAA's aeronautical database.

History

The FAA published in the Federal Register (82 FR 22924, May 19,
2017) Docket No. FAA-2017-0287 a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Wayne Municipal/Stan Morris Field (formally the Wayne
Municipal Airport), Wayne, NE. Subsequent to the publication of the
NPRM, the FAA found that the airport name had a name change to Wayne
Municipal/Stan Morris Field from the Wayne Municipal Airport.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017, 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 7400.11B, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11B 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 amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface within a 6.5-mile radius (reduced from a 7.5-mile radius)
of Wayne Municipal/Stan Morris Field, Wayne, NE. Airspace redesign of
standard instrument approach procedures is necessary for IFR operations
at the airport due to the decommissioning of the Wayne NDB, and
cancellation of the NDB approach. The name and geographic coordinates
of the airport also are updated to be in concert with the FAA's
aeronautical database. This action enhances the safety and management
of the standard instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at
the airport.

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

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.
