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
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by
amending Class D airspace, Class E
surface area airspace, Class E airspace
designated as an extension to a Class D
surface area, and Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet or more
above the surface at Elizabeth City
CGAS/Regional Airport, Elizabeth City,
NC. The NOTAM part-time status is
removed from the Class E airspace area
designated as an extension to a Class D
surface area.
For the associated Class D and E
airspace areas, the geographic
coordinates of the airport and Woodville
NDB are adjusted to coincide with the
FAAs aeronautical database.
Also, this action replaces the outdated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. Therefore, this regulation: (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 5–6.5a. 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.

Amendment of Class E Airspace;

Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This action amends Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Taylor County
Airport, Medford, WI and Waupaca
Municipal Airport, Waupaca, WI, to
accommodate new standard instrument
approach procedures for instrument
flight rules (IFR) operations at these
airports. This action is necessary due to
the decommissioning of the Medford
and Waupaca non directional radio
beacons (NDB), and cancellation of NDB
approaches. Also, an error in the
geographic coordinates of Waupaca
Municipal Airport and Taylor County
Airport are corrected. This action
enhances the safety and management of
IFR operations at these airports.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 D and Class E airspace at Elizabeth City CGAS/
Regional Airport, Elizabeth City, NC, to ensure the efficient use of
airspace within the National Airspace System.
History
The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (82 FR 33837, July 21, 2017) Docket No. FAA-2016-0384 to amend
Class D airspace, Class E surface area airspace, Class E airspace
designated as an extension to a Class D surface area, and Class E
airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface at
Elizabeth City CGAS/Regional Airport, Elizabeth City, NC.
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, 6004, 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 part 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
This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by amending Class D airspace, Class E surface area airspace,
Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D surface area,
and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the
surface at Elizabeth City CGAS/Regional Airport, Elizabeth City, NC.
The NOTAM part-time status is removed from the Class E airspace area
designated as an extension to a Class D surface area.
For the associated Class D and E airspace areas, the geographic
