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 modifies Class D airspace, Class E surface area airspace, and 
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, at 
Aurora State Airport, Aurora, OR, to support IFR operations at this 
airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal 
Register (83 FR 7428; February 21, 2018) for Docket No. FAA-2017-1034 
to modify Class D airspace, Class E surface area airspace, and Class E 
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, at Aurora 
State Airport, Aurora, OR. Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
the proposal to the FAA. Twenty-six comments were received, all in 
support of the changes.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of 
FAA Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15, 
2018, 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 7400.11C, 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 amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 modifies Class D airspace, Class E surface area airspace, and 
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at 
Aurora State Airport, Aurora, OR.
    Class D airspace is modified to a 4-mile radius of the airport, and 
within 1.8 miles each side of the 007[deg] bearing from the airport 
extending from the 4-mile radius to 5.1 miles north of the airport 
(from a 4.2-mile radius of the airport from the 64[deg] bearing from 
the airport clockwise to the 142[deg] bearing, extending to a 5-mile 
radius from the 142[deg] bearing clockwise to the 64[deg] bearing from 
the airport). Two excluded area cutouts for Lenhardt Airpark and McGee 
Airport, respectively, (both nearby satellite general aviation 
airports) are modified by excluding that airspace below 1,500 feet MSL 
within the area bounded by lat. 45[deg]11'51'' N, long. 122[deg]45'45'' 
W; to lat. 45[deg]12'50'' N, long. 122[deg]44'34'' W; to the point 
where the 142[deg] bearing from the airport intersects the 4-mile 
radius of the airport, thence clockwise along the airport 4-mile radius 
to the 174[deg] bearing from the airport, thence to the point of 
beginning; and excluding that airspace below 1,500 feet MSL within the 
area bounded by lat. 45[deg]15'37'' N, long. 122[deg]51'14'' W; to the 
point where the 235[deg] bearing from the airport intersects the 4-mile 
radius of the airport, thence clockwise along the airport 4-mile radius 
to the airport 281[deg] bearing, thence to the point of beginning (from 
excluding that airspace below 1,200 feet beyond 3.3 miles from the 
airport from the 142[deg] bearing clockwise to the 174[deg]

[[Page 53808]]

bearing, and that airspace below 1,200 feet beyond 3.3 miles from the 
airport from the 250[deg] bearing clockwise to the 266[deg] bearing 
from the airport). The modification of the excluded areas within the 
Class D provides additional airspace for visual flight rules operations 
at the satellite airports while maintaining the required airspace to 
support IFR operations at Aurora State Airport. Also, an editorial 
change is made to the legal description replacing Airport/Facility 
Directory with Chart Supplement.
    Class E surface area airspace is modified to be coincident with the 
dimensions of the Class D airspace except no exclusion is provided in 
the vicinity of Lenhardt Airpark (``excluding that airspace below 1,500 
feet MSL within the area bounded by lat. 45[deg]11'51'' N, long. 
122[deg]45'45'' W; to lat. 45[deg]12'50'' N, long. 122[deg]44'34'' W; 
to the point where the 142[deg] bearing from the airport intersects the 
4-mile radius of the airport, thence clockwise along the airport 4-mile 
radius to the 174[deg] bearing from the airport, thence to the point of 
beginning''). Class E surface area airspace is required within this 
Class D cutout to ensure Class E weather requirements exist from the 
surface and protect IFR arrival operations to Aurora State Airport.
    Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet is modified to 
within a 6.5-mile radius (from a 7-mile radius) from the airport 
043[deg] bearing clockwise to the airport 350[deg] bearing and within a 
9-mile radius (from a 6.5-mile radius) from the airport 350[deg] 
bearing clockwise to the airport 043[deg] bearing, and within 1.6 miles 
each side of a 007[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the 9-
mile radius of the airport to 20.6 miles north of the airport (from 
within 1.6 miles either side of the 007[deg] bearing from airport 
extending from the 7-mile radius to 20 miles northeast of the airport), 
and within 1.8 miles each side of a line extending from lat. 
45[deg]21'12'' N, long. 122[deg]58'41'' W, to lat. 45[deg]19'20'' N, 
long. 122[deg]49'07'' W (from within 1.2 miles either side of the 
306[deg] bearing from airport extending from the 7-mile radius to 10.9 
miles northwest of the airport).
    The airport designations for the Class D and E airspace areas are 
amended by removing the name of the city associated with the airport to 
be in compliance with a 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.
