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 airspace, removes Class E airspace, and
establishes Class E airspace at Olive Branch Airport, Olive Branch, MS,
to support IFR operations at the airport.

History

The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (83 FR 19472, May 3, 2018) for Docket No. FAA-2017-0866 to
amend Class D airspace, remove Class E airspace, and establish Class E
airspace at Olive Branch Airport, Olive Branch, 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 paragraphs
5000, 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,
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 action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by amending Class D airspace to a 4.1-mile radius, (from a 4-
mile radius) at Olive Branch Airport, Olive Branch, MS, and removes
Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D, due to the
decommissioning of the Olive Branch NDB and cancellation of the NDB
approach. Also, this action establishes Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet or more above the surface at Olive Branch Airport,
Olive Branch, MS, (this airspace was removed the from Memphis, TN,
airspace in a separate rulemaking).
Additionally, this action makes an editorial change to the Class D
airspace legal description replacing Airport/Facility Directory with
the term Chart Supplement.

[[Page 36403]]

Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in
Paragraph 5000, 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.

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.
Therefore, this regulation: (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.
