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 E airspace designated as a surface area at Iowa
County Airport, Mineral Point, WI, to support instrument flight rules
(IFR) operations.

History

The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (83 FR 9451; March 6, 2018) for Docket No. FAA-2018-0087 to
amend Class E airspace designated as a surface area at Iowa County
Airport, Mineral Point, WI, by changing the airspace to full-time and
removing the part-time status and language from the airspace
description. 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 with the
understanding that the change would assist aircraft in the terminal
environment with obstacle avoidance, separation services, and noise
abatement. The FAA appreciates the support for this proposal and
provides the following for clarification:
The development of the Class E airspace designated as a surface
area at Iowa County airport takes into consideration and provides for
terrain clearance within the airspace and provides for the protection
of instrument procedures, taking other obstacles, such as wind
turbines, into consideration; however, obstacle avoidance is ultimately
the responsibility of the pilot in command.
The air traffic services currently provided by Chicago ARTCC will
be the same as previously provided; however, those services will now be
provided on a full-time basis.
Airspace is not designed nor meant to support noise abatement
policies. Airspace is designed to support air traffic services, provide
protection for and improve the safety of IFR operations. Therefore,
noise abatement policies were not taken into consideration in this
airspace amendment.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 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 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

This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 modifies Class E airspace designated as a surface area at Iowa
County Airport, Mineral Point, WI, by making the airspace full-time and
removing the part-time status language from the airspace legal
description. This amendment is made at the request of Chicago ARTCC.
This action also makes an editorial change by removing the name of
the city associated with the airport in the airspace legal description
to comply with a change to FAA Order 7400.2L, Procedures for Handling
Airspace Matters.

[[Page 31654]]

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.
