The Rule
This amendment to Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
modifies Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
at the following airports:
Within a 6.5-mile radius (increasing
from the previous 6.4-mile radius) of
Langlade County Airport, Antigo, WI,
removing the extension to the north of
the airport, and updating the geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database;
Within a 7.0-mile radius (increasing
from the previous 6.5-mile radius) of
John F. Kennedy Memorial Airport,
Ashland, WI, with an extension
southwest of the airport from the 7.0mile radius to 8.2 miles, removing
extensions to the southwest and
southeast of the airport, and updating
the geographic coordinates of the airport
to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database;
Within a 7.1-mile radius (increasing
from the previous 6.4-mile radius) of
Black River Falls Area Airport, Black
River Falls, WI, with an extension
southwest of the airport from the 7.1mile radius to 11.7 miles, with an
extension northeast of the airport from
the 7.1-mile radius to 11.4 miles;
Within a 6.9-mile radius (increasing
from the previous 6.4-mile radius) of
Cable Union Airport, Cable Union, WI,
and removing the extension to the
southwest of the airport;
Within a 6.4-mile radius of
Cumberland Municipal Airport,
Cumberland, WI, with extensions from
the 6.4-mile radius to 10.2 miles west
and east; and updating the geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database;
Within a 6.5-mile radius (reducing
from the previous 6.6-mile radius) of
Eagle River Union Airport, Eagle River,
WI, with an extension southwest of the
airport from the 6.5-mile radius to 9.2
miles, and updating the geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database;
Within a 6.6-mile radius (increasing
from the previous 6.5-mile radius) of
Sawyer County Airport, Hayward, WI,
with an extension northeast of the
airport from the 6.6-mile radius to 8.5
miles;
And within a 6.8-mile radius
(increasing from the previous 6.5-mile
radius) of Wausau Downtown Airport,
Wausau, WI, and updating the name
and geographic coordinates of the
airport to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database.
The Class E airspace designated as a
surface area at Wausau Municipal
Airport, Wausau, WI, is removed as the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:00 Jan 12, 2017
Jkt 241001
airport no longer meets the
requirements for this airspace.
These airspace reconfigurations are
necessary due to the decommissioning
of NDBs, cancellation of NDB
approaches, or implementation of
RNAV standard instrument procedures
at these airports. Controlled airspace is
necessary for the safety and
management of standard instrument
approach procedures for IFR operations
at these airports.
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, does 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 5–6.5.a. 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.

§ 870.5800
Table of Contents
Childhood lead poisoning has long
been documented as causing reduced
intelligence, low attention span, and
reading and learning disabilities; it has
additionally been linked to juvenile
delinquency, behavioral problems, and
many other adverse health effects.1
Despite public health efforts
successfully reducing toxic lead
exposure in children nationwide, blood
lead monitoring continues to reveal
children with elevated blood lead levels
due to exposure in their specific
housing environments. The Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has consistently affirmed its position
that lead-based paint and leadcontaminated dust are the most
hazardous sources of lead for U.S.
children.2 Over the past decade, HUD
has dramatically reduced housing-based
lead exposure among children through
lead paint abatement and interim
controls.3 Nevertheless, a considerable
number of children under age six (6)
currently reside in HUD-assisted
housing units that contain lead-based
paint.

The Rule
This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at the following airports:
Within a 6.5-mile radius (increasing from the previous 6.4-mile
radius) of Langlade County Airport, Antigo, WI, removing the extension
to the north of the airport, and updating the geographic coordinates of
the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
Within a 7.0-mile radius (increasing from the previous 6.5-mile
radius) of John F. Kennedy Memorial Airport, Ashland, WI, with an
extension southwest of the airport from the 7.0-mile radius to 8.2
miles, removing extensions to the southwest and southeast of the
airport, and updating the geographic coordinates of the airport to
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
Within a 7.1-mile radius (increasing from the previous 6.4-mile
radius) of Black River Falls Area Airport, Black River Falls, WI, with
an extension southwest of the airport from the 7.1-mile radius to 11.7
miles, with an extension northeast of the airport from the 7.1-mile
radius to 11.4 miles;
Within a 6.9-mile radius (increasing from the previous 6.4-mile
radius) of Cable Union Airport, Cable Union, WI, and removing the
extension to the southwest of the airport;
Within a 6.4-mile radius of Cumberland Municipal Airport,
Cumberland, WI, with extensions from the 6.4-mile radius to 10.2 miles
west and east; and updating the geographic coordinates of the airport
to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
Within a 6.5-mile radius (reducing from the previous 6.6-mile
radius) of Eagle River Union Airport, Eagle River, WI, with an
extension southwest of the airport from the 6.5-mile radius to 9.2
miles, and updating the geographic coordinates of the airport to
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
Within a 6.6-mile radius (increasing from the previous 6.5-mile
radius) of Sawyer County Airport, Hayward, WI, with an extension
northeast of the airport from the 6.6-mile radius to 8.5 miles;
And within a 6.8-mile radius (increasing from the previous 6.5-mile
radius) of Wausau Downtown Airport, Wausau, WI, and updating the name
and geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database.
The Class E airspace designated as a surface area at Wausau
Municipal Airport, Wausau, WI, is removed as the airport no longer
meets the requirements for this airspace.
These airspace reconfigurations are necessary due to the
decommissioning of NDBs, cancellation of NDB approaches, or
implementation of RNAV standard instrument procedures at these
airports. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and
management of standard instrument approach procedures for IFR
operations at these airports.
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, does 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 5-6.5.a. 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.
