14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2009-1140; Airspace Docket No. 09-AWP-13]


Amendment of Class D and E Airspace; Victorville, CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action will amend Class D and E airspace at Victorville, 
CA, to accommodate aircraft using Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 
operations at Southern California Logistics Airport, allowing aircraft 
operations outside Class D airspace at Adelanto Airport. This will 
improve the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 
operations at both airports. This action also will note a change in the 
airport name and geographic coordinates of Southern California Logistic 
Airport.

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, September 23, 2010. The Director of 
the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action 
under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 
and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On March 11, 2010, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend controlled airspace at 
Victorville, CA (74 FR 11476). Interested parties were

[[Page 33682]]

invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written 
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000 
and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9T signed August 27, 2009, 
and effective September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 
14 CFR part 71.1. The Class D and E airspace designations listed in 
this document will be published subsequently in that Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by amending Class D airspace extending upward from the surface 
to and including 4,500 feet MSL within a 6-mile radius of Southern 
California Logistics Airport, Victorville, CA, excluding that airspace 
within a 1.5-mile radius of Adelanto Airport. This action is necessary 
for the safety and management of IFR operations. This rule also adjusts 
the geographic coordinates of Southern California Logistics Airport in 
Class D and E airspace, and changes the airport name from Southern 
California International Airport to Southern California Logistics 
Airport.
    The FAA has determined 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'' 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 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. The FAA's authority to 
issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S. 
Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 discusses 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 establishes 
additional controlled airspace at Southern California Logistics 
Airport, Victorville, CA.
