This action proposes to amend Class D airspace, Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, and remove Class E airspace designated as an extension at Vandenberg Air Force Base (AFB), Lompoc, CA. This action also proposes to modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Lompoc Airport, Lompoc, CA, by enlarging the airspace and removing the part- time Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) status. This action would also amend the geographic coordinates of the airports to match the FAA's aeronautical database. This action is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at these airports. An editorial change would be made removing the city associated with the airport name in the airspace designator for Vandenberg AFB, as well as removing exclusionary language from the description. Additionally, this action would replace the outdated term ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with the term ``Chart Supplement''.

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 amend Class D, Class E airspace, and remove Class E 
airspace designated as an extension at Lompoc, CA, in support of IFR 
operations at Vandenberg AFB and Lompoc Airport.

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 enlarging Class D airspace, reducing 
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, and 
removing Class E airspace designated as an extension at Vandenberg Air 
Force Base (AFB), Lompoc, CA, and also would amend Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface and remove part-time 
NOTAM status at Lompoc Airport, Lompoc, CA.
    Class D airspace would be enlarged to within a 5-mile radius (from 
a 4.3-mile radius) of Vandenberg AFB. Additionally, an editorial change 
would remove the city associated with the airport name in the airspace 
designation to comply with a recent change to FAA Order 7400.2L, dated 
October 12, 2017. An editorial change also would be made to the Class D 
airspace legal description replacing ``Airport/Facility Directory'' 
with ``Chart Supplement''.
    Class E airspace designated as an extension would be removed, as 
this airspace is not required to protect IFR arrival and departure 
aircraft at Vandenberg AFB.
    Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface 
at Vandenberg AFB would be modified to a 7.3-mile radius of the airport 
with extensions to 11 miles north, 12.5-miles southeast, and 11 miles 
south of the airport (from a 7.8-mile radius of the airport and within 
1.8 miles each side of the Vandenberg AFB ILS localizer southeast 
course, extending from 7.8 miles to 10.3 miles southeast of the 
airport). The exclusionary language contained in the legal description 
would be removed to comply with FAA Order 7400.2L, Procedures for 
Handling Airspace Matters.
    This action also would amend Class E airspace extending upward from 
700 feet above the surface at Lompoc Airport, Lompoc, CA, by enlarging 
the airspace to within a 6.4-mile radius of the airport, and within 4 
miles each side of the 090[deg] bearing from the airport extending from 
the 6.4-mile radius to 12.8 miles east of the airport, and within 4 
miles each side of the 113[deg] bearing from the airport extending from 
the 6.4-mile radius to 20.4 miles southeast of the airport (from a 4.3-
mile radius of the airport and within 4.3 miles each side of the 
Gaviota VORTAC 293[deg] radial extending from the 4.3-mile radius to 
10.9 miles west of the Gaviota VORTAC and within 4 miles each side of 
the 083[deg] bearing from the Lompoc NDB to 8 miles east of the NDB. 
Also, the part-time NOTAM status would be removed, since this airspace 
is effective continuously.
    Finally, this action would update the geographic coordinates of 
these airports to match the FAA's aeronautical database.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000, 
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 E airspace designation 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.
