Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Cabool, MO, 47583-47585 [2018-20398]
Download as PDF
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 183 / Thursday, September 20, 2018 / Proposed Rules
Class D and Class E airspace
designations are published in
Paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004, and 6005,
respectively of FAA Order 7400.11C,
dated August 13, 2018, and effective
September 15, 2018, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class D and 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
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 would 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.

This action proposes to
amend Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Cabool Memorial Airport, Cabool,
MO. The FAA is proposing this action
as the result of an airspace review
caused by the decommissioning of the
Maples VHF omnidirectional range
(VOR) navigation aid, which provided
navigation information for the
instrument procedures at this airport, as
part of the VOR Minimum Operational
Network (MON) Program. The
geographic coordinates of the airport
would also be updated to coincide with
the FAA’s aeronautical database. This
action is necessary for the safety and
management of instrument flight rules
(IFR) operations at this airport.

Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated August 13, 2018, and effective
September 15, 2018. FAA Order
7400.11C is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11C 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 that would amend
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Cabool
Memorial Airport, Cabool, MO, by

removing the Maples VORTAC and
associated extension northeast of the
airport. This action would also update
the geographic coordinates of the airport
to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database.
This action is necessary due to an
airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Maples VOR,
which provided navigation information
to the instrument procedures at this
airport, as part of the VOR MON
Program.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraphs 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018,
and effective September 15, 2018, 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
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.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective
September 15, 2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11C 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 that would amend Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Cabool Memorial
Airport, Cabool, MO, by removing the Maples VORTAC and associated
extension northeast of the airport. This action would also update the
geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database.
This action is necessary due to an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Maples VOR, which provided navigation
information to the instrument procedures at this airport, as part of
the VOR MON Program.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraphs 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15,
2018, 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 proposed 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 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.
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.
