This action amends Class E surface area airspace and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Waimea- Kohala Airport, Kamuela, HI by modifying the boundaries to only that area necessary to contain instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport. The part-time Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) status is removed from Class E surface area airspace, and references to the Kamuela VOR/ DME is removed from associated Class E airspace areas above. Airspace redesign is necessary as the FAA transitions from ground-based to satellite-based navigation for the safety and management of the national airspace system. Also, an editorial change will be made removing the airport name and replacing it with the city in the airspace designators for the above airspace areas.

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Kamuela, HI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E surface area airspace and Class E 
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Waimea-
Kohala Airport, Kamuela, HI by modifying the boundaries to only that 
area necessary to contain instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at 
the airport. The part-time Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) status is removed 
from Class E surface area airspace, and references to the Kamuela VOR/
DME is removed from associated Class E airspace areas above. Airspace 
redesign is necessary as the FAA transitions from ground-based to 
satellite-based navigation for the safety and management of the 
national airspace system. Also, an editorial change will be made 
removing the airport name and replacing it with the city in the 
airspace designators for the above airspace areas.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 28, 2019. The Director of the 
Federal 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 E airspace at Waimea-Kohala Airport, Kamuela, HI, in 
support of IFR operations at the airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal 
Register (83 FR 7433; February 21, 2018) for Docket No. FAA-2017-1145 
to amend Class E surface area airspace and Class E airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Waimea-Kohala Airport, 
Kamuela, HI. 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 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.

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

    The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by removing the part-time NOTAM status of Class E surface area 
airspace and defining its boundaries with reference to the Waimea-
Kohala Airport, Kamuela, HI (instead of the Kamuela VOR/DME). Class E 
airspace extends upward from the surface within the 4.3-mile radius of 
Waimea-Kohala Airport, and within 2.4 miles north and 1.8 miles south 
of the 069[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the 4.3-mile 
radius to 7.3 miles east of the airport (currently 1.8 miles northwest 
of and 2.6 miles southeast of the Kamuela VOR 063[deg] radial, 
extending from the 4.3-mile radius to 7.8 miles northeast of the 
Kamuela VOR/DME).
    Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface 
will be modified to within a 4.3-mile radius (from a 6.4-mile radius) 
of Waimea-Kohala Airport and within 4.1 miles each side of the 069[deg] 
bearing from the airport extending from the 4.3-mile radius to 12.8 
miles east of the airport, and within 1.3 miles each side of the 
244[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the 4.3-mile radius to 
5.8 miles southwest of the airport (currently 2 miles each side of the 
Kamuela VOR/DME 068[deg] radial, extending from the 6.4-mile radius 
12.6 miles northeast of the Kamuela VOR/DME, and within 2 miles each 
side of the Kamuela VOR/DME 246[deg] extending from the 6.4-mile radius 
to 13.4 miles southwest of the Kamuela VOR/DME). This airspace redesign 
expands the airspace areas slightly northeast and reduces the airspace 
from southeast clockwise to north to only that area necessary to 
contain IFR operations at the airport.
    Additionally, an editorial change replaces Waimea-Kohala Airport, 
HI, with Kameula, HI, in the airspace designation of the above classes 
of airspace to comply with a recent change to FAA Order 7400.2L, 
Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters.

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, will 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.
