History
On May 3, 2016, the FAA published
in the Federal Register a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) (81 FR
26499) Docket No. FAA–2016–4291, to
modify Class E airspace at Virgil I.
Grissom Municipal Airport, Bedford, IN;
Goshen Municipal Airport, Goshen, IN;
Putnam County Airport, Greencastle, IN;
Huntingburg Airport, Huntingburg, IN;
North Vernon Airport, North Vernon,
IN; Jasper County Airport, Rensselaer,
IN; Perry County Municipal Airport,
Tell City, IN; Daviess County Airport,
Washington, IN; and remove controlled
airspace at O’Neal Airport, Vincennes,
IN. Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal to the FAA. No comments
were received. Subsequent to
publication, the FAA found that Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at O’Neal Airport,
Vincennes, IN, was previously removed
in a rule published in the Federal
Register of October 23, 2015 (80 FR
64316) Docket No. FAA–2015–2049.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015,
and effective September 15, 2015, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
part 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document will
be published subsequently in the Order.

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 of Virgil I.
Grissom Municipal Airport, Bedford,
IN;
Within a 6.8-mile radius of Goshen
Municipal Airport, Goshen, IN, and
updates the geographic coordinates of
this airport;
VerDate Sep<11>2014
13:32 Aug 01, 2016
Jkt 238001
Within a 6.5-mile radius of Putnam
County Airport, Greencastle, IN, and
updates the geographic coordinates of
this airport;
Within a 6.5-mile radius of Huntingburg
Airport, Huntingburg, IN, with a
segment extending from the 6.5-mile
radius to 11.2 miles east of the airport;
Within a 6.5-mile radius of North
Vernon Airport, North Vernon, IN,
and updates the geographic
coordinates of this airport;
Within a 6.4-mile radius of Jasper
County Airport, Rensselaer, IN, and
updates the geographic coordinates of
this airport;
Within a 6.4-mile radius of Perry
County Municipal Airport, Tell City,
IN, and updates the geographic
coordinates of this airport; and
Within a 6.4-mile radius of Daviess
County Airport, Washington, IN.
Airspace reconfiguration is necessary
due to the decommissioning of NDBs,
cancellation of NDB approaches, or
implementation of RNAV procedures at
the above airports. Controlled airspace
is necessary for the safety and
management of the standard instrument
approach procedures for IFR operations
at the airports.
O’Neal Airport, Vincennes, IN, is
removed from this rulemaking as the
airspace was removed in a previously
published rulemaking (80 FR 64316,
October 23, 2015), Docket No. FAA–
2015–2049.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Title 14 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR), part 91, appendix
D, sections 1, 3, and 4, list the airports
where special operating restrictions
apply. Specifically, section 1 lists the
locations at which aircraft operating
within 30 nautical miles (NM) of the
listed airports, from the surface upward
to 10,000 feet mean sea level (MSL),
must be equipped with an altitude
encoding transponder. The locations
listed in this section are intended to be
the Class B airspace area primary
airports. Further, section 3 lists the
locations at which aircraft fixed-wing
Special VFR operations are prohibited
and section 4 lists the locations at
which solo student, sport, and
recreational pilot activity is not
permitted.
On April 28, 1975, the FAA issued a
final rule (40 FR 18414) Docket No. 73–
WA–11, FR. Doc. 75–10970, which
established the Kansas City, Missouri
(MO), Terminal Control Area (TCA),
listing the Kansas City International
Airport as the primary airport. In 1993,
as a result of the Airspace
Reclassification rule (56 FR 65638)
Docket No. 24456, FR Doc. 91–29869,
TCAs were changed to Class B airspace
areas and the Kansas City, MO, TCA
became the Kansas City, MO, Class B
airspace area with the Kansas City
International Airport listed as the
primary airport. However, when the
Airspace Reclassification final rule
amended the regulatory text in 14 CFR
91.215(b)(2) to read ‘‘All aircraft. In all
airspace within 30 nautical miles of an
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

of this part . . .’’, the airports listed in
Appendix D, section 1, inadvertently
included Kansas City, KS (MidContinent International Airport) in error
instead of Kansas City, MO (Kansas City
International Airport). This action
corrects that inadvertent error in
Appendix D, section 1.
Further review of the airports listed in
Appendix D, section 1, highlighted that
the airport name for twelve other
airports listed in the section were
incorrect and had changed since
originally having been included as a
result of the Airspace Reclassification
rule. The twelve airports include:
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International
Airport, Baltimore/Washington
International Thurgood Marshall
Airport, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky
International Airport, Dallas/Fort Worth
International Airport, Detroit
Metropolitan Wayne County Airport,
George Bush Intercontinental/Houston
Airport, Minneapolis-St. Paul
International/Wold-Chamberlain
Airport, Newark Liberty International
Airport, Louis Armstrong New Orleans
International Airport, Pittsburgh
International Airport, Miramar Marine
Corps Air Station, and Joint Base
Andrews.
Similarly, review of the airports listed
in appendix D, section 3, identified that
the airport name for thirteen airports
listed in the section were incorrect and
had changed since originally having
been included as a result of the Airspace
Reclassification rule. The thirteen
airports include: Hartsfield-Jackson
Atlanta International Airport,
Baltimore/Washington International
Thurgood Marshall Airport, Cincinnati/
Northern Kentucky International
Airport, Dallas/Fort Worth International
Airport, Dallas Love Field Airport,
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County
Airport, George Bush Intercontinental/
Houston Airport, Louisville
International Airport-Standiford Field,
Minneapolis-St. Paul International/
Wold-Chamberlain Airport, Newark
Liberty International Airport, Louis
Armstrong New Orleans International
Airport, Pittsburgh International
Airport, and Joint Base Andrews.
Lastly, review of the airports listed in
appendix D, section 4, identified that
the airport name for four airports listed
in the section were incorrect and had
changed since originally having been
included as a result of the Airspace
Reclassification rule. The four airports
include: Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta
International Airport, Dallas/Fort Worth
International Airport, Newark Liberty
International Airport, and Joint Base
Andrews.

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 amends Class E airspace at Virgil I. Grissom Municipal Airport,
Bedford, IN; Goshen Municipal Airport, Goshen, IN; Putnam County
Airport, Greencastle, IN; Huntingburg Airport, Huntingburg, IN; North
Vernon Airport, North Vernon, IN; Jasper County Airport, Rensselaer,

Airport, Greencastle, IN; Huntingburg Airport, Huntingburg, IN; North
Vernon Airport, North Vernon, IN; Jasper County Airport, Rensselaer,
IN; Perry County Municipal Airport, Tell City, IN; Daviess County
Airport, Washington, IN; and remove controlled airspace at O'Neal
Airport, Vincennes, IN. Interested parties were invited to participate
in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the

publication, the FAA found that Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at O'Neal Airport, Vincennes, IN, was
previously removed in a rule published in the Federal Register of
October 23, 2015 (80 FR 64316) Docket No. FAA-2015-2049.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15,
2015, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class
E airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document amends FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15,
2015. FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists Class A, B,
C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.
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 of Virgil I. Grissom Municipal Airport,
Bedford, IN;
Within a 6.8-mile radius of Goshen Municipal Airport, Goshen, IN, and
updates the geographic coordinates of this airport;
Within a 6.5-mile radius of Putnam County Airport, Greencastle, IN, and
updates the geographic coordinates of this airport;
Within a 6.5-mile radius of Huntingburg Airport, Huntingburg, IN, with
a segment extending from the 6.5-mile radius to 11.2 miles east of the
airport;
Within a 6.5-mile radius of North Vernon Airport, North Vernon, IN, and
updates the geographic coordinates of this airport;
Within a 6.4-mile radius of Jasper County Airport, Rensselaer, IN, and
updates the geographic coordinates of this airport;
Within a 6.4-mile radius of Perry County Municipal Airport, Tell City,
IN, and updates the geographic coordinates of this airport; and
Within a 6.4-mile radius of Daviess County Airport, Washington, IN.
Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of
NDBs, cancellation of NDB approaches, or implementation of RNAV
procedures at the above airports. Controlled airspace is necessary for
the safety and management of the standard instrument approach
procedures for IFR operations at the airports.
O'Neal Airport, Vincennes, IN, is removed from this rulemaking as
the airspace was removed in a previously published rulemaking (80 FR
64316, October 23, 2015), Docket No. FAA-2015-2049.
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.
