Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 182 / Thursday, September 21, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
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 would
amend Class E airspace extending
upward 700 feet above the surface at
Iowa County Airport, Mineral Point, WI.
History
The FAA published in the Federal
Register (82 FR 17158, April 10, 2017)
Docket No. FAA–2017–0181 a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Iowa
County Airport, Mineral Point, 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 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017,
and effective September 15, 2017, 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.

The Rule
This amendment to Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
modifies Class E Airspace extending
upward from 700 feet or more above the
surface to within a 6.6-mile radius
(reduced from a 7.2-mile radius) of Iowa
County Airport, Mineral Point, WI. The
5.2-mile wide segment from the Mineral
Point NDB extending from the 7.2-mile
radius of the airport to 7.4 miles

decommissioning and cancellation of
the Mineral Point NDB, and NDB
approaches. This action enhances the
safety and management of the standard
instrument approach procedures for IFR
operations at the airport.
§ 71.1
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
Paragraph 6005 Class E Airspace Areas
Extending Upward From 700 Feet or More
Above the Surface of the Earth.
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
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.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This action modifies Class D

Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface, and Class E
airspace extending upward from 1,200
feet above the surface at Cheyenne
Regional/Jerry Olson Field Airport
(formerly, Cheyenne Airport),
Cheyenne, WY. Airspace redesign is
necessary due to the decommissioning
of the Cheyenne instrument landing
system (ILS) locator outer marker and
removal of the Cheyenne VHF
Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air
Navigation (VORTAC) from the airspace
description as the FAA transitions from
ground-based navigation aids to
satellite-based navigation. Also, this
action updates the airport name and
geographic coordinates for the
associated Class D and E airspace areas
to reflect the FAA’s current aeronautical
database, and makes an editorial change
in the legal description by replacing
Airport/Facility Directory with the term
Chart Supplement.

scope of that authority as it modifies
Class D and E airspace at Cheyenne
Regional/Jerry Olson Field Airport,
Cheyenne, WY, in support of instrument
flight rules operations at the airport.
History
On June 2, 2017, the FAA published
in the Federal Register (82 FR 25561)
Docket FAA–2016–9473, a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify
Class D airspace, Class E surface area

upward from 700 and 1,200 feet above
the surface at Cheyenne Regional/Jerry

Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document amends FAA Order
7400.11B, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017,
and effective September 15, 2017. FAA
Order 7400.11B is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.
The Rule
The FAA is amending Title 14 Code
of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
by modifying Class D airspace,
modifying Class E surface area airspace,
and modifying Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 and 1,200
feet above the surface at Cheyenne
Regional/Jerry Olson Field Airport,
Cheyenne, WY. This action is necessary
due to the decommissioning of the
Cheyenne ILS locator outer marker,
removal of the Cheyenne VORTAC from
the airspace description, and the
availability of diverse departure
headings as the FAA transitions from
ground-based navigation aids to
satellite-based navigation. Class D
airspace is amended by removing the
segment on each side of the Cheyenne
ILS localizer east course extending from
the 5.6-mile radius to the outer marker.
Class E surface area airspace is
amended to be coincident with the Class
D airspace, and effective during the
times the Class D is not in effect.
Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface is
amended to within an 8.1-mile radius
(from 12.2 miles) of Cheyenne Regional/
Jerry Olson Field Airport, and within a
9.1-mile radius of the airport from the
240° bearing from the airport clockwise
to the 300° bearing from the airport with
a segment on each side of a 275° bearing
from the airport extending from the

airport 9.1-mile radius to 10.6 miles
west of the airport, and with another
segment on each side of the 028° bearing
from the airport extending from the
airport 8.1 mile radius to 10.8 miles
northeast of the airport. The airspace
extending upward from 1,200 feet above
the surface would be modified to within
a 43.6-mile radius of the airport (from a
polygon of similar area) to provide
controlled airspace for diverse
departures until reaching the overlying
Class E airspace.
Also, the geographic coordinates of
the airport are updated to match the
FAA’s current aeronautical database.
This action also updates the airport
name to Cheyenne Regional/Jerry Olson
Field Airport (from Cheyenne Airport).
Finally, this action replaces the
outdated term Airport/Facility Directory
with the term Chart Supplement in the
associated Class D and E airspace legal
descriptions.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this
regulation only involves an established

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

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 modifies Class D and E airspace at Cheyenne Regional/Jerry Olson
Field Airport, Cheyenne, WY, in support of instrument flight rules
operations at the airport.
History
On June 2, 2017, the FAA published in the Federal Register (82 FR
25561) Docket FAA-2016-9473, a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to
modify Class D airspace, Class E surface area airspace, and Class E
airspace extending upward from 700 and 1,200 feet above the surface at
Cheyenne Regional/Jerry Olson Field Airport, Cheyenne, WY. 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 D and E airspace designations are published in paragraph
5000, 6002, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11B, dated August
3, 2017, and effective September 15, 2017, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and E airspace designations
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 7400.11B, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.
The Rule
The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by modifying Class D airspace, modifying Class E surface area
airspace, and modifying Class E airspace extending upward from 700 and
1,200 feet above the surface at Cheyenne Regional/Jerry Olson Field
Airport, Cheyenne, WY. This action is necessary due to the
decommissioning of the Cheyenne ILS locator outer marker, removal of
the Cheyenne VORTAC from the airspace description, and the availability
of diverse departure headings as the FAA transitions from ground-based
navigation aids to satellite-based navigation. Class D airspace is
amended by removing the segment on each side of the Cheyenne ILS
localizer east course extending from the 5.6-mile radius to the outer
marker.
Class E surface area airspace is amended to be coincident with the
Class D airspace, and effective during the times the Class D is not in
effect.
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface
is amended to within an 8.1-mile radius (from 12.2 miles) of Cheyenne
Regional/Jerry Olson Field Airport, and within a 9.1-mile radius of the
airport from the 240[deg] bearing from the airport clockwise to the
300[deg] bearing from the airport with a segment on each side of a
275[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the airport 9.1-mile
radius to 10.6 miles west of the airport, and with another segment on
each side of the 028[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the
airport 8.1 mile radius to 10.8 miles northeast of the airport. The
airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface would be
modified to within a 43.6-mile radius of the airport (from a polygon of
similar area) to provide controlled airspace for diverse departures
until reaching the overlying Class E airspace.
Also, the geographic coordinates of the airport are updated to
match the FAA's current aeronautical database. This action also updates
the airport name to Cheyenne Regional/Jerry Olson Field Airport (from
Cheyenne Airport). Finally, this action replaces the outdated term
Airport/Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement in the
associated Class D and E airspace legal descriptions.
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, will 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 5-6.5a. 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.
