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 in the Enid, OK, area to
support IFR operations.

History

The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (82 FR 28794; June 26, 2017) for Docket No. FAA-2016-9378 to
remove the Class D and Class E airspace at Enid Woodring Municipal
Airport, OK, and Enid Vance AFB, OK, and establish and amend Class D
and E airspace at Enid Woodring Regional Airport, OK, and Vance AFB,
OK, to enhance the safety and management of IFR operations at these
airports. 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 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 Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Differences From the NPRM

The description for the Class E airspace designated as an extension
to Class D or Class E surface area at Enid Woodring Regional Airport,
Enid, OK, has been updated to include the radial and width information
for the extensions that was inadvertently omitted from the NPRM.
The description for the Class E airspace designated as an extension
to Class D or Class E surface area at Vance AFB, OK, has been updated
to include the radial and width information for the extensions that was
inadvertently omitted from the NPRM.
The airspace description for the Class D airspace at Vance AFB, OK,
has been simplified to provide a clearer description of the airspace.
The airspace description for the Class E airspace designated as a
surface area at Vance AFB, OK, has been simplified to provide a clearer
description of the airspace.
The eastern boundary for the Class E airspace area extending upward
from 700 feet or more above the surface for Enid, OK, has been changed
from ``8.7 miles east and west of Vance AFB'' to ``9.1 miles east and
8.7 miles west of Vance AFB'' to fully contain the new southern Class E
airspace area designated as an extension to Class D or Class E surface
areas at Enid Woodring Regional Airport within this airspace.
Additionally, the exclusionary language in the airspace description is
no longer required and has been removed.
Additionally, the geographic coordinates for Vance AFB are being
updated to coincide with a recent change to the FAA aeronautical
database.

[[Page 14575]]

Except for the changes noted above, the actions in this final rule
are the same as published in the NPRM.

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:
Removing the Class D airspace at Enid Vance AFB, OK;
Removing the Class D airspace at Enid Woodring Municipal Airport,
OK;
Establishing Class D airspace at Enid Woodring Regional Airport,
Enid, OK, within a 4.5-mile radius of the airport;
Establishing Class D airspace at Vance AFB, OK, within a 5.1-mile
radius of the airport;
Amending the Class E airspace designated as a surface area within a
4.5-mile radius (increased from a 4.1-mile radius) of Enid Woodring
Regional Airport, Enid, OK, removing the airspace within a 5.1-mile
radius of Vance AFB, and removing references to Vance AFB from the
airspace description;
Establishing Class E airspace designated as a surface area within a
5.1-mile radius of Vance AFB, OK;
Removing the Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D
or Class E surface area at Enid Vance AFB, OK;
Removing the Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D
or Class E surface area at Enid Woodring Municipal Airport, OK;
Establishing Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D
or Class E surface area at Enid Woodring Regional Airport, Enid, OK,
within 2.4 miles each side of the 347[deg] radial of the Woodring VOR/
DME extending from the 4.5-mile radius of the airport to 7 miles north
of the airport, and within 2.4 miles each side of the 177[deg] radial
of the Woodring VOR/DME extending from the 4.5-mile radius to 7 miles
south of the airport;
Establishing Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D
or Class E surface area at Vance AFB, OK, with a segment 1.3 miles each
side of the 188[deg] radial of the Vance VORTAC extending from the 5.1-
mile radius to 6.1 miles south of the airport; and
Amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Enid, OK, within 9.1 miles east (increased from 8.7
miles) and 8.7 miles east of Vance AFB, and within a 7-mile radius
(increasing from a 6.6-mile radius) of Enid Woodring Regional Airport,
removing the Woodring VOR/DME extensions, and updating the name of the
airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
The FAA has determined that due to the differing operating hours of
the two airports, the airspace descriptions should be separated for
safety and management of IFR operations at these airports. Also, after
an airspace review of the Enid Woodring Regional Airport, the FAA found
airspace redesign was necessary at Enid Woodring Regional Airport to
accommodate new instrument procedures at the airport and for the safety
and management of IFR operations at this 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, 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 5-6.5.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.
