Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2010-0183; Airspace Docket No. 10-ASW-5]


Amendment of Class D Airspace; Fort Worth NAS JRB (Carswell 
Field), TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends the geographic coordinates within the Fort 
Worth Naval Air Station (NAS) JRB (Carswell Field), TX, area and 
renames the navigation aids, at the request of the U.S. Navy, that are 
listed in the description. This action does not change the boundaries 
or operating requirements of the airspace.

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, March 10, 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, 
Operations Support Group, Federal Aviation Administration, Southwest 
Region, 2601 Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76137; telephone (817) 321-
7716.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by adjusting the geographic coordinates of the Fort Worth NAS 
JRB (Carswell Field) Class D airspace, Fort Worth, TX, and the 
navigation aids, to coincide with the FAAs Aeronautical Products. This 
action also changes the names of the Carswell ILS Localizer North, 
Carswell ILS Localizer South, and Carswell TACAN to the NAS JRB Fort 
Worth ILS Localizer North, NAS JRB Fort Worth ILS Localizer South, and 
NAS JRB Fort Worth TACAN at the request of the U.S. Navy. This is an 
administrative change and does not affect the boundaries, altitudes, or 
operating requirements of the airspace, therefore, notice and public 
procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
    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 Fort Worth NAS JRB (Carswell 
Field), Fort Worth, TX.
