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 at Lewiston-Nez Perce County Airport, 
Lewiston, ID to support IFR operations at the airport.

History

    The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (83 FR 
11411; March 15, 2018) for Docket No. FAA-2017-0986 amending Class D 
airspace, and Class E surface airspace at Lewiston-Nez Perce County 
Airport, Lewiston, ID.
    Subsequent to publication, the FAA discovered the upward extension 
of Lewiston-Nez Perce County Airport Class D airspace was incorrectly 
reduced from 3,900 feet MSL to 2,700 feet MSL. This rule corrects that 
error and restores the upward extension of Class D airspace to 3,900 
feet MSL.
    Class D airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000 of 
FAA Order 7400.11C dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15, 
2018, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class 
D 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 7400.11C, Airspace Designations and 
Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15, 
2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11C 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 modifying the Class D airspace legal description for 
Lewiston-Nez Perce County Airport, Lewiston, ID. The Class D airspace 
is retained up to 3,900 feet MSL, not 2,750 feet MSL, as stated in a 
final rule published in the Federal Register of March 15, 2018 (83 FR 
11411).
    Accordingly, action taken herein to amend the upward extension of 
Class D airspace at Lewiston-Nez Perce County Airport, Lewiston, ID, is 
in the interest of flight safety. Therefore, I find that notice and 
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary 
to the public interest.

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''

[[Page 50257]]

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.
