This action amends Class D airspace, and Class E surface area airspace at Greenwood-Leflore Airport, Greenwood, MS, by making an editorial change to the legal descriptions replacing ``Airport-Facility Directory'' with the term ``Chart Supplement''. This action also removes the part-time Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) language from Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D airspace. 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 in the Class designations noted in this proposal to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. Also, this action corrects the geographic coordinates published in the proposal incorrectly.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D airspace, and Class E surface area 
airspace at Greenwood-Leflore Airport, Greenwood, MS, by making an 
editorial change to the legal descriptions replacing ``Airport-Facility 
Directory'' with the term ``Chart Supplement''. This action also 
removes the part-time Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) language from Class E 
airspace designated as an extension to Class D airspace. 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 in the Class designations 
noted in this proposal to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical 
database. Also, this action corrects the geographic coordinates 
published in the proposal incorrectly.

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 amends Class D and Class E airspace at Greenwood-Leflore Airport, 
Greenwood, MS, to support IFR operations under standard instrument 
approach procedures at the airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal 
Register (83 FR 5966, February 12, 2018) for Docket No. FAA-2017-0994 
to amend Class D airspace, Class E surface 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 
Greenwood-Leflore Airport, Greenwood, MS.
    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 part 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, 
2016. 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 amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 amends Class D airspace, and Class E surface area airspace at 
Greenwood-Leflore Airport, Greenwood, MS, by making an editorial change 
to the legal descriptions replacing ``Airport-Facility Directory'' with 
the term ``Chart Supplement''.
    Also, this action removes the part-time NOTAM language from the 
Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D surface area.
    Additionally, the geographic coordinates of the airport, in the 
above airspace areas, and the Class E airspace area extending upward 
from 700 feet above the surface, are adjusted to coincide with the 
FAA's aeronautical database.

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. 
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 5-6.5a. 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.
