This action amends Class D airspace and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Choctaw Naval Outlying Field (NOLF), Milton, FL, by changing the city associated with the airport name in the above airspace classes and adjusting the geographic coordinates of the airport and the Santa Rosa TACAN navigation aid to match the FAA's aeronautical database. Additionally, Class E surface airspace is established at Choctaw NOLF for the safety of aircraft landing and departing the airport when the air traffic control tower is closed. Also, an editorial change is made to the Class D airspace legal description replacing ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with the term ``Chart Supplement''. This action enhances the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at this 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 establishes Class E airspace, and amends Class D and Class E 
airspace at Choctaw NOLF, Milton, FL, to support IFR operations at the 
airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM in the 
Federal Register (83 FR 9242, March 5, 2018) for Docket No. FAA-2018-
0062 to amend Class D airspace and Class E airspace extending upward 
from 700 feet above the surface at Choctaw NOLF, Milton, FL, and 
establish Class E surface area airspace at Choctaw NOLF, Milton, FL.
    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.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraph 
5000, 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 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 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 Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by:
    Amending Class D airspace at Choctaw NOLF, Milton, FL, by adjusting 
the geographic coordinates of the airport and the Santa Rosa TACAN 
navigation aid to be in concert with the FAA's aeronautical database. 
Also, this action makes an editorial change in the airspace designation 
replacing the city associated with the airport name from Pensacola, to 
Milton, to comply with a change to FAA Order 7400.2L, Procedures for 
Handling Airspace Matters. Additionally, this action replaces the 
outdated term ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with the term ``Chart 
Supplement'' in the airspace legal description;
    Establishing Class E surface area airspace at Choctaw NOLF, Milton, 
FL, within a 2.5-mile radius of Choctaw NOLF, with an extension from 
the 2.5-mile radius to 10.5 miles south of the Santa Rosa TACAN, for 
the safety of aircraft landing and departing the airport after the air 
traffic control tower closes; and Amending Class E airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Choctaw NOLF, Milton, FL, by 
adjusting the geographic coordinates of the airport to be in concert 
with the FAA's aeronautical database. This action also makes an 
editorial change by removing the airport name, Choctaw Outlying Field, 
from the airspace designation, which now becomes Milton, FL.
    This action amends the geographic coordinates of these airports and 
the Keesler TACAN navigation aid to be in concert with the FAA's 
aeronautical database.
    Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in 
Paragraph 5000, 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 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.
