Proposed Amendment of Class D and

Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
AGENCY:
This action proposes to
modify Class D airspace, Class E
airspace designated as a surface area,
and Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface, and
remove Class E airspace designated as
an extension of Class D airspace at
Kenosha Regional Airport, Kenosha, WI.
The FAA is proposing this action due to
the decommissioning of the Kenosha
VHF omnidirectional range (VOR)
facilities, which provided navigation
guidance for portions of the affected
routes. This action would enhance the
safety and management of instrument
flight rules (IFR) operations at this
airport. Additionally, the airport name
and geographic coordinates would be
adjusted in the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database.

Availability and Summary of
Documents Proposed 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:29 May 18, 2017
Jkt 241001
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 proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) Part 71 by:
Modifying the Class D airspace to
within a 4.2-mile radius (increased from
a 4.1-mile radius) of Kenosha Regional
Airport, Kenosha, WI;
Modifying the Class E airspace
designated as a surface area to within a
4.2-mile radius (increased from a 4.1mile radius) of Kenosha Regional
Airport, and removing the Kenosha VOR
and the 7-mile extension northeast of
the airport;
Removing the Class E airspace
designated as an extension to Class D
airspace at Kenosha Regional Airport;
and
Modifying the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.7-mile radius
(reduced from a 7-mile radius) of
Kenosha Regional Airport (formerly
Kenosha Municipal Airport), with an
extension from the Kenosha Localizer to
10 miles west of the localizer, and
updating the name and geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database.
Airspace reconfiguration is necessary
due to the decommissioning of the
Kenosha VOR and to bring the airspace
in compliance with FAA Order JO
7400.2K, Procedures for Handling
Airspace Matters, at this airport.
Controlled airspace is necessary for the
safety and management of standard
instrument approach procedures for IFR
operations at the airport.
Additionally, this action would
replace the outdated term Airport/
Facility Directory with the term Chart
Supplement in the Class D and Class E
surface area airspace legal descriptions.
Class D and E airspace designations
are published in paragraph 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
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
PO 00000

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 will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it
is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, would 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
Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed 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 proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by:
Modifying the Class D airspace to within a 4.2-mile radius
(increased from a 4.1-mile radius) of Kenosha Regional Airport,
Kenosha, WI;
Modifying the Class E airspace designated as a surface area to
within a 4.2-mile radius (increased from a 4.1-mile radius) of Kenosha
Regional Airport, and removing the Kenosha VOR and the 7-mile extension
northeast of the airport;
Removing the Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D
airspace at Kenosha Regional Airport; and
Modifying the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.7-mile radius (reduced from a 7-mile radius)
of Kenosha Regional Airport (formerly Kenosha Municipal Airport), with
an extension from the Kenosha Localizer to 10 miles west of the
localizer, and updating the name and geographic coordinates of the
airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of
the Kenosha VOR and to bring the airspace in compliance with FAA Order
JO 7400.2K, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters, at this airport.
Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of
standard instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at the
airport.
Additionally, this action would replace the outdated term Airport/
Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement in the Class D and
Class E surface area airspace legal descriptions.
Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraph
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 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 will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would 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 Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
