Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
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 Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 to amend
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet or more above the surface
within a 6.6-mile radius of Fayetteville
Municipal Airport, due to the
decommissioning of the Kelso NDB and
cancellation of the NDB approach, and
for continued safety and management of
IFR operations at the airport. The
geographic coordinates of the airport
would be adjusted to coincide with the
FAAs aeronautical database.
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.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this
proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical
regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to
keep them operationally current. 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 will
only affect air traffic procedures and air
navigation, it is certified that this
proposed 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.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
PO 00000

This document proposes to amend
FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace

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,

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an
amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by
removing the NOTAM part-time status
of the Class E airspace designated as an
extension to a Class D surface area at
Morgantown Municipal Airport-Walter
L. Bill Hart Field, Morgantown, WV.
This action also would amend Class D
airspace, Class E surface area airspace,
and Class E Airspace Areas Extending
Upward from 700 feet or More Above
the Surface by updating the geographic
coordinates of the airport.
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraphs 5000, 6002,
6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA
Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016,
and effective September 15, 2016, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this
proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document proposes to amend 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 Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by removing the NOTAM part-time status of
the Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D surface
area at Morgantown Municipal Airport-Walter L. Bill Hart Field,
Morgantown, WV. This action also would amend Class D airspace, Class E
surface area airspace, and Class E Airspace Areas Extending Upward from
700 feet or More Above the Surface by updating the geographic
coordinates of the airport.
Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraphs 5000,
6002, 6004, and 6005, respectively, 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 designations listed in
this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive
[[Page 16960]]
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 proposed 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.
Environmental Review
This proposal would be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
