nshattuck on DSK9F9SC42PROD with PROPOSALS
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.
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 from
an 8-mile radius to a 9-mile radius of
Penn Valley Airport, Selinsgrove, PA
because a new RNAV (GPS) standard
instrument approach procedure to
Runway 35 has been developed for the
safety and management of IFR
operations at the airport.
The proposed amendment would
remove the segment extending
northbound from Selinsgrove VOR/
DME, northbound, would be removed
because it is no longer required as part
of the airspace redesign. Additionally,
the amendment would update the
geographic coordinates of the airport to
coincide with the FAAs aeronautical
database, and would correct the name of
the navigation aid from VORTAC to
VOR/DME.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:06 Nov 17, 2017
Jkt 244001
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 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.

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 at
Marshall County Airport, Moundsville,
WV, to within a 7.3-mile radius
(increased from a 6.2-mile radius) of the
airport. This proposal would also
amend the 12-mile segment northeast of
the airport extending from the 7.3-mile
radius (increased from a 6.2-mile radius)
of the airport. This action is necessary
for continued safety and management of
IFR operations at the airport. This action
also would adjust the geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database.
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017,

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.
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 at Marshall County Airport,
Moundsville, WV, to within a 7.3-mile radius (increased from a 6.2-mile
radius) of the airport. This proposal would also amend the 12-mile
segment northeast of the airport extending from the 7.3-mile radius
(increased from a 6.2-mile radius) of the airport. This action is
necessary for continued safety and management of IFR operations at the
airport. This action also would adjust the geographic coordinates of
the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
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 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 Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
