AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace for Kennett, MO. 
Decommissioning of the Kennett non-directional beacon (NDB) at Kennett 
Memorial Airport, Kennett, MO, has made this action necessary to 
enhance the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) 
operations at the airport.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, January 13, 2011. 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Enander, Central Service Center,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On August 18, 2010, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace for Kennett, 
MO, reconfiguring controlled airspace at Kennett Memorial Airport (75 
FR 50948) Docket No. FAA-2010-0606. Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E airspace 
designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9U dated 
August 18, 2010, and effective September 15, 2010, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
the Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
Part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface for standard instrument approach procedures at 
Kennett Memorial Airport, Kennett, MO. Decommissioning of the Kennett 
NDB and cancellation of the NDB approach has made it necessary to 
reconfigure the airspace to within a 6.6-mile radius of the airport for 
the safety and management of IFR operations. 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'' 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 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, 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 controlled airspace at Kennett Memorial Airport, Kennett, 
MO.
