SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
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 extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Kings Land
O’ Lakes Airport, Land O’ Lakes, WI;
Manitowish Waters Airport, Manitowish
Waters, WI; Merrill Municipal Airport,

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 6.4-mile radius (reduced
from the 7-mile radius) of Kings Land O’
Lakes Airport, Land O’ Lakes, WI, and
updating the geographic coordinates of
the airport to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database;
Within a 6.3-mile radius (reduced
from the 7-mile radius) of Manitowish
Waters Airport, Manitowish, WI, and
removing the 9-mile segment southeast
of the airport, and updating the
geographic coordinates of the airport to
coincide with the FAA’s database;
Within a 6.6-mile radius (reduced
from the 7-mile radius) of Merrill
Municipal Airport, Merrill, WI;
By removing the 7-mile segment
extending from the 6.3-mile radius
southeast of Oconto-J. Douglas Bake
Municipal Airport, Oconto, WI, and
updating the name and geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database;
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:51 Jan 09, 2017
Jkt 241001
By removing the 7-mile segments
extending from the 6.6-mile radius
southwest and northeast of Price County
Airport, Phillips, WI;
Within a 6.4-mile radius (reduced
from the 7.4-mile radius) of Platteville
Municipal Airport, Platteville, WI, with
an extension southeast of the airport
from the 6.4-mile radius to 10.2 miles;
Within a 6.3-mile radius (reduced
from the 6.6-mile radius) of Solon
Springs Municipal Airport, Solon
Springs, WI, and removing the 7.4-mile
segment north of the airport, and
updating the geographic coordinates of
the airport to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database;
Within an 8.5-mile radius (increased
from a 6.7-mile radius) of Richard I.
Bong Airport, Superior, WI, and
removing the 12.2-mile segment
southeast of the airport;
And within a 6.8-mile radius (reduced
from the 7.4-mile radius) of the West
Bend Municipal Airport, West Bend,
WI, reducing existing segment
extending from the 6.8-mile radius to
11.4 miles southwest, and adding
segments extending from the 6.8-mile
radius to 7 miles northeast and 10 miles
northwest of the airport.
Airspace reconfiguration is 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 the 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
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This final rule addresses
issues raised in, and public comments
on, the interim final rule that was

and completes the regulatory action for
the interim final rule. These changes
were also informed by comments
received in response to the May 13 rule
that included a request for comments, as
well as interagency discussions on how
best to address the comments. The
changes made in this final rule are
grouped into four types of changes:
Changes to address the movement of
additional spacecraft and related items
from the USML to the Commerce
Control List (CCL), as a result of changes
in aperture size for spacecraft that
warrant ITAR control, in response to
public comments and further U.S.
Government review; changes to address
the movement of the James Webb Space
Telescope (JWST) from the USML to the
CCL; other corrections and clarifications
to the spacecraft interim final rule; and
addition of .y items to Export Control
Classification Number 9A515.
This final rule is being published in
conjunction with the publication of a
Department of State, Directorate of
Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) final
rule, which makes changes, including
corrections and clarifications, to the
provisions adopted in the State
Department’s own May 13, 2014 rule.
The State May 13 rule revised USML
Category XV (22 CFR 121.1) to control

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 extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Kings Land O' Lakes Airport, Land O' Lakes, WI; Manitowish
Waters Airport, Manitowish Waters, WI; Merrill Municipal Airport,
Merrill, WI; Oconto-J. Douglas Bake Municipal Airport, Oconto, WI;
Price County Airport, Phillips, WI; Platteville Municipal Airport,
Platteville, WI; Solon Springs Municipal Airport, Solon Springs, WI;
Richard I. Bong Airport, Superior, WI; and West Bend Municipal Airport,
West Bend, WI.
History
On September 8, 2016, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), (81 FR 62044) Docket No. FAA-
2016-8830, to modify Class E airspace
[[Page 2874]]
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Kings Land O' Lakes
Airport, Land O' Lakes, WI; Manitowish Waters Airport, Manitowish
Waters, WI; Merrill Municipal Airport, Merrill, WI; Oconto-J. Douglas
Bake Municipal Airport, Oconto, WI; Price County Airport, Phillips, WI;
Platteville Municipal Airport, Platteville, WI; Solon Springs Municipal
Airport, Solon Springs, WI; Richard I. Bong Airport, Superior, WI; and
West Bend Municipal Airport, West Bend, WI. 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 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 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 7400.11A, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A 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 6.4-mile radius (reduced from the 7-mile radius) of Kings
Land O' Lakes Airport, Land O' Lakes, WI, and updating the geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical
database;
Within a 6.3-mile radius (reduced from the 7-mile radius) of
Manitowish Waters Airport, Manitowish, WI, and removing the 9-mile
segment southeast of the airport, and updating the geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's database;
Within a 6.6-mile radius (reduced from the 7-mile radius) of
Merrill Municipal Airport, Merrill, WI;
By removing the 7-mile segment extending from the 6.3-mile radius
southeast of Oconto-J. Douglas Bake Municipal Airport, Oconto, WI, and
updating the name and geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA's aeronautical database;
By removing the 7-mile segments extending from the 6.6-mile radius
southwest and northeast of Price County Airport, Phillips, WI;
Within a 6.4-mile radius (reduced from the 7.4-mile radius) of
Platteville Municipal Airport, Platteville, WI, with an extension
southeast of the airport from the 6.4-mile radius to 10.2 miles;
Within a 6.3-mile radius (reduced from the 6.6-mile radius) of
Solon Springs Municipal Airport, Solon Springs, WI, and removing the
7.4-mile segment north of the airport, and updating the geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical
database;
Within an 8.5-mile radius (increased from a 6.7-mile radius) of
Richard I. Bong Airport, Superior, WI, and removing the 12.2-mile
segment southeast of the airport;
And within a 6.8-mile radius (reduced from the 7.4-mile radius) of
the West Bend Municipal Airport, West Bend, WI, reducing existing
segment extending from the 6.8-mile radius to 11.4 miles southwest, and
adding segments extending from the 6.8-mile radius to 7 miles northeast
and 10 miles northwest of the airport.
Airspace reconfiguration is 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 the 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.
