This action proposes to amend Class E surface area airspace at Kemmerer Municipal Airport, Kemmerer, WY, by enlarging the airspace area north of the airport and removing the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) part-time status for the airspace. Also, this action would reduce Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface and remove Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface. After a review of the airspace, the FAA found these actions necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

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 would amend Class E airspace at Kemmerer Municipal Airport, 
Kemmerer, WY, to accommodate airspace redesign in support of IFR 
operations at the airport.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed 
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as 
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the 
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing 
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are 
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
    Communications should identify both docket numbers (Docket No. FAA-
2018-0034; Airspace Docket No. 17-ANM-34) and be submitted in 
triplicate to DOT Docket Operations (see ADDRESSES section for address 
and phone number).
    Persons wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments on 
this notice must submit with those comments a self-addressed, stamped 
postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket 
No. FAA-2018-0034; Airspace Docket No. 17-ANM-34.'' The postcard will 
be date/time stamped and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received on or before the specified closing date 
for comments will be considered before taking action on the proposed 
rule. The proposal contained in this notice may be changed in light of 
the comments received. A report summarizing each substantive public 
contact with FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed 
in the docket.

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 Proposal

    The FAA proposes to amend Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 
CFR) part 71 by modifying the north extension of the Class E surface 
area airspace at Kemmerer Municipal Airport, Kemmerer, WY, to within 
1.8 miles (from 1 mile) each side of the 354[deg] bearing (from the 
360[deg] bearing) from the airport extending from the 4.3-mile radius 
of the airport to 7.7 miles (from 7 miles) north of the airport. Also, 
the NOTAM part-time status for the airspace would be removed to make 
the airspace effective continuously.
    The FAA also proposes to amend the Class E airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 4.3-mile radius of 
Kemmerer Municipal Airport from the airport 035[deg] bearing clockwise 
to the airport 006[deg] bearing, and within a 9.5 mile radius of the 
airport from the airport 006[deg] bearing clockwise to the airport 
035[deg] bearing, and within 2.2 miles each side of the 354[deg] 
bearing from the airport extending from the 4.3-mile radius of the 
airport to 15.9 miles north of the airport, and within 2.2 miles each 
side of the 172[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the 4.3-
mile radius of the airport to 7.4 miles south of the airport (from 
within the 8-mile radius of Kemmerer Municipal Airport, and within 4 
miles each side of the 174[deg] bearing from the airport extending from 
the airport 11 miles south of the airport, and within 3.6 miles each 
side of the 354[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the 
airport to 16.1 miles northwest of the airport). Additionally, the 
Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface 
would be removed because sufficient airspace exists (Wasatch and 
Jackson Class E airspace areas) and duplication is not necessary. This 
airspace redesign is necessary for the safety and management of IFR 
operations at the airport.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002, 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 E airspace designation listed in this document will 
be published subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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 proposed 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

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in 
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies 
and

[[Page 21972]]

Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
