This action amends 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. Also, the part-time Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) information is removed from Class E airspace designated as an extension, and the geographic coordinates for Pueblo Memorial Airport in the associated Class D and E airspace areas are 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. An editorial change also is made to the Class D airspace and Class E surface area airspace legal descriptions replacing ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with the term ``Chart Supplement.''

Amendment of Class D and Class E Airspace; Pueblo, CO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends 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. Also, the part-time Notice to 
Airmen (NOTAM) information is removed from Class E airspace designated 
as an extension, and the geographic coordinates for Pueblo Memorial 
Airport in the associated Class D and E airspace areas are 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. An editorial change also is made to the Class 
D airspace and Class E surface area airspace legal descriptions 
replacing ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with the term ``Chart 
Supplement.''

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 1, 2018. 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

[[Page 55944]]

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 modifies Class D and E airspace at Pueblo Memorial 
Airport, Pueblo, CO, in support of instrument flight rules operations 
at the airport.

History

    On August 3, 2017, the FAA published in the Federal Register (82 FR 
36103) Docket FAA-2017-0666, a notice of proposed rulemaking to modify 
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. 
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 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 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 are 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 is 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 is removed as it is not 
necessary to support current operations; and a segment is 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 eliminates 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 is 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 removes 
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 updates the geographic coordinates for 
Pueblo Memorial Airport and replaces the outdated term ``Airport/
Facility Directory'' with the term ``Chart Supplement'' in the 
associated Class D and Class E airspace legal descriptions. This 
airspace redesign is necessary for the safety and management of 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 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.
