This action proposes to amend controlled airspace at Casper/ Natrona County International Airport, Casper WY. After a biennial review, the FAA proposes to enlarge Class D airspace; remove Class E airspace designated as an extension, reduce Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, and remove Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface. Also, this action would update the airport's name and geographic coordinates for the associated Class D and E airspace areas to reflect the FAA's current aeronautical database. These proposed changes would enhance safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend controlled airspace at Casper/

extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface. Also, this action 
would update the airport's name and geographic coordinates for the 
associated Class D and E airspace areas to reflect the FAA's current 
aeronautical database. These proposed changes would enhance safety and 
management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the 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 would modify Class D and E airspace at Casper/Natrona County 
International Airport, Casper, WY, in support of IFR operations at the 
airport.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed 
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as 
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the 
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing 
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are 
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
    Communications should identify both docket numbers (Docket No. FAA-
2017-0223; Airspace Docket No. 17-ANM-9) and be submitted in triplicate 
to DOT Docket Operations (see ADDRESSES section for address and phone 
number).
    Persons wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments on 
this notice must submit with those comments a self-addressed, stamped 
postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket 
No. FAA-2017-0223/Airspace Docket No. 17-ANM-9.'' The postcard will be 
date/time stamped and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received on or before the specified closing date 
for comments will be considered before taking action on the proposed 
rule. The proposal contained in this notice may be changed in light of 
the comments received. A report summarizing each substantive public 
contact with FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed 
in the docket.

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 Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class D airspace and Class E 
surface area airspace at Casper/Natrona County International Airport 
(formerly Natrona County International Airport) to within a 4.9-mile 
radius (from a 4.3-mile radius) of the airport from the airport 
294[deg] bearing clockwise to the airport 193[deg] bearing, and within 
a 7-mile radius (from a 4.3-mile radius) of the airport from the 
193[deg] bearing clockwise to the airport 294[deg] bearing.
    This proposal also would remove Class E airspace designated as an 
extension to Class D or E surface area.

[[Page 4866]]

    Additionally, Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface would be reduced to within a 9.5-mile radius of the airport 
(from a 24-mile radius) from the airport 248[deg] bearing clockwise to 
the airport 294[deg] bearing, and within a 7-mile radius from the 
airport 294[deg] bearing clockwise to the airport 004[deg] bearing, 
with segments extending to 13.5 miles northeast, 10.4 miles east, 16.9 
miles southwest. Also, Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 
feet above the surface would be removed since it is wholly contained 
within the larger Casper Class E en route airspace, and duplication is 
not needed.
    This proposal would also update the airport's geographic 
coordinates in the associated Class D and E airspace to reflect the 
FAA's current aeronautical database. Lastly, this action would replace 
the outdated term ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with the term ``Chart 
Supplement'' in the Class D and associated Class E airspace legal 
descriptions. These modifications are necessary for the safety and 
management of IFR operations at the airport.
    Class D and Class 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 71.1. The Class D and Class E 
airspace designations listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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 will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, would not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in 
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies 
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
