This action amends Class D and Class E airspace at Coastal Carolina Regional Airport (formally Craven County Regional Airport), New Bern, NC. The Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) part-time status is removed from Class E airspace designated as an extension. Also, under Class E surface airspace, the segment using the New Bern VHF omnidirectional range/distance measuring equipment (VOR/DME) navigation aid used to describe the northeast and southwest extensions to the airport is removed. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This action also updates the geographic coordinates of the airport, updates the airport's name, and makes an editorial change replacing Airport/ Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement in the legal descriptions of associated Class D and E airspace. Also, the docket number for this rule is corrected to FAA-2017-0230.

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D and Class E airspace at Coastal 
Carolina Regional Airport (formally Craven County Regional Airport), 
New Bern, NC. The Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) part-time status is removed 
from Class E airspace designated as an extension. Also, under Class E 
surface airspace, the segment using the New Bern VHF omnidirectional 
range/distance measuring equipment (VOR/DME) navigation aid used to 
describe the northeast and southwest extensions to the airport is 
removed. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management 
of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport. This action 
also updates the geographic coordinates of the airport, updates the 
airport's name, and makes an editorial change replacing Airport/
Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement in the legal 
descriptions of associated Class D and E airspace. Also,

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 Coastal Carolina Regional 
Airport, New Bern, NC, to support IFR operations under standard 
instrument approach procedures at the airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM in the 
Federal Register (82 FR 24265, May 26, 2017) Docket No. FAA-2017-0230 
to amend Class D airspace, Class E surface area airspace, Class E 
airspace designated as an extension to a Class D surface area, and 
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the 
surface at Coastal Carolina Regional Airport (formerly Craven County 
Regional Airport), New Bern, NC.
    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 part 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 proposes to amend 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 action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by amending Class D airspace, Class E surface area airspace, 
Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D surface area, 
and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the 
surface at Coastal Carolina Regional Airport (formerly Craven County 
Regional Airport), New Bern, NC. The NOTAM part-time status is removed 
from the Class E airspace area designated as an extension to a Class D 
surface area.
    Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface 
is amended to within a 7-mile radius (from a 6.5-mile radius) of the 
airport. The New Bern VOR/DME is removed from the description under 
Class E surface airspace, as it is no longer needed to describe the 
boundaries of the airport.
    For the associated Class D and E airspace areas, the geographic 
coordinates of the airport are adjusted to coincide with the FAAs 
aeronautical database, and the airport name is changed from Craven 
County Regional Airport to Coastal Carolina Regional Airport.
    Also, this action replaces the outdated term Airport/Facility 
Directory with the term Chart Supplement in the associated Class D and 
E airspace legal descriptions.
    Subsequent to publication, the FAA discovered the docket number in 
the NPRM was incorrectly listed as FAA-2016-0230. This action corrects 
the docket number to FAA-2017-0230.
    Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in 
Paragraph 5000, 6002, 6004, and 6005, respectively, 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 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. 
Therefore, this regulation: (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 5-6.5a. 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.
