This action modifies airspace designations at Molokai Airport, Kaunakakai, HI. The FAA establishes an area of Class E airspace designated as a surface area; modifies Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D or E surface area; and modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface. Also, this action updates the airport's geographic coordinates for the associated Class D and E airspace areas to reflect the FAA's current aeronautical database and removes references to the Molokai VHF omnidirectional range/tactical air navigation (VORTAC). These changes enhance safety and support instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

Establishment of Class E Airspace and Amendment of Class D and 
Class E Airspace; Kaunakakai, HI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies airspace designations at Molokai Airport, 
Kaunakakai, HI. The FAA establishes an area of Class E airspace 
designated as a surface area; modifies Class E airspace designated as 
an extension to a Class D or E surface area; and modifies Class E 
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface. Also, this 
action updates the airport's geographic coordinates for the associated 
Class D and E airspace areas to reflect the FAA's current aeronautical 
database and removes references to the Molokai VHF omnidirectional 
range/tactical air navigation (VORTAC). These changes enhance safety 
and support instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

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 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 establishes Class E surface area airspace and modifies Class D 
and Class E airspace at Molokai Airport, Kaunakakai, HI, in support of 
standard instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at this 
airport.

History

    On July 28, 2017, the FAA published in the Federal Register (82 FR 
35131) Docket FAA-2017-0295, a notice of proposed rulemaking that 
proposed to establish Class E surface area airspace and modify Class E 
airspace designated as an extension to a Class D or E surface area; 
modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface. at Molokai Airport, Kaunakakai, HI, and amend the geographic 
coordinates of the airport. Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
the proposal to the FAA. One comment was received supporting the 
proposal.
    Class D and 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.

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

    The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
Part 71 by establishing Class E airspace designated as surface area at 
Molokai Airport, Kaunakakai, HI. This new airspace designation, within 
a 4.3-mile radius of the airport, provides controlled airspace to 
support increased aircraft operations under IFR during the hours that 
the Class D airspace area is not in effect.
    This action also amends Class E airspace designated as an extension 
to Class D or E surface area at the airport by increasing the area to a 
4.3-mile wide segment (from 3.6 miles wide) extending to 8 miles west 
(from 7.2 miles west) of the airport. The part-time NOTAM information 
is removed because Class D airspace or Class E surface airspace is 
continuous. The FAA also removes reference to the Molokai VORTAC in the 
airspace legal

[[Page 47105]]

description to reflect the FAA's transition from ground-based to 
satellite-based navigation aids.
    Additionally, Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface is enlarged west of the airport from the 6.8-mile radius of 
the airport to an area 10 miles wide (from 3.6 miles wide) extending to 
12.4 miles west (from 8.3 miles west) of the airport.
    This action also updates the airport's geographic coordinates for 
the associated Class D and E airspace areas to reflect the FAA's 
current aeronautical database. Additionally, this action replaces the 
outdated term ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with the term ``Chart 
Supplement'' in the Class D and E airspace legal descriptions. These 
modifications are necessary for the safety and management of IFR 
operations at the airport.
    Lastly, a technical amendment is made to rename the airspace 
designation for the following airspace areas: AWP HI D Molokai, HI, is 
renamed Kaunakakai, HI; AWP HI E2 Molokai, HI, is renamed Kaunakakai, 
HI; and AWP HI E5 Molokai, HI, is renamed Kaunakakai, HI, to remain 
consistent 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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will 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.
