Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
AGENCY:
This action proposes to
modify Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Fitch H. Beach Airport, Charlotte, MI.
The FAA is proposing this action due to
the decommissioning of the Lansing
VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) and
collocated tactical air navigation
(TACAN), which provided navigation
guidance for the instrument procedures
to this airport. The VOR/TACAN is
being decommissioned as part of the
VOR Minimum Operational Network
(MON) Program. This action would
enhance safety and management of
instrument flight rules (IFR) operations
at this airport. Additionally, the
geographic coordinates of the airport
would be adjusted to coincide with the
FAA’s aeronautical database.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before November 9, 2017.

Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
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.
with FAA Order 1050.1F,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 by modifying Class E
airspace area extending upward from
700 feet above the surface within a 6.4mile radius (increased from a 6.3-mile
radius) at Fitch H. Beach, Charlotte, MI,
and updating the geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database.
The exclusionary language contained in
the airspace description is being
removed to comply with FAA Order
7400.2L, Procedures for Handling
Airspace Matters.
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.
PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A,
B, C, D, AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR
TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND
REPORTING POINTS
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, is noncontroversial 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
proposed 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.
