tkelley on DSKBCP9HB2PROD with PROPOSALS2
The Proposal
The FAA proposes 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 Johnson County
Airport, Mountain City, TN, by
increasing the northeast extension to
14.4 miles (from 10.9 miles), and
creating a 14-mile extension southwest
of the airport, to accommodate new area
navigation (RNAV) global positioning
system (GPS) standard instrument
approach procedures at the airport.
Additionally, Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface would be established at
Elizabethton Municipal Airport,
Elizabethton, TN, within a 9.5-mile
radius of the airport, and within 4-miles
each side of the 243° bearing from the
airport, extending from the 9.5-mile
radius to 15-miles southwest of the
airport to accommodate RNAV (GPS)
standard instrument approach
procedures for IFR operations at these
airports.
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraph 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 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:59 Sep 19, 2018
Jkt 244001
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.

The Proposed Amendment
In consideration of the foregoing, the
Federal Aviation Administration
proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as
follows:
radius of Elizabethton Municipal Airport,
and within 4-miles each side of the 243°
bearing from the airport, extending from the
9.5-mile radius to 15-miles southwest of the
airport.

This action proposes to
amend Class D airspace at Oakland
County International Airport, Pontiac,
MI. The FAA is proposing this action as
the result of an airspace review caused
by the decommissioning of the Pontiac
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. This action
would also replace the outdated term
Airport/Facility Directory with Chart

necessary for the safety and

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

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

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting

The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 by amending the Class
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
47579
D airspace at Oakland County
International Airport, Ponitac, MI,
adding an extension 1.0 mile each side
of the 274° bearing from the airport
extending from the 4.2-mile radius to
4.4 miles west of the airport; and adding
an extension 1.0 mile each side of the
275° bearing from the Oakland County
Intl: RWY 09R–LOC extending from the
4.2-mile radius to 4.4 miles west of the
Oakland County Intl: RWY 09R–LOC.
This action also would make an
editorial change to the airspace legal
description replacing ‘‘Airport/Facility
Directory’’ with ‘‘Chart Supplement’’.
This action is necessary due to an
airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Pontiac VOR,
which provided navigation information
to the instrument procedures at this
airport, as part of the VOR MON
Program.
Class D airspace designations are
published in paragraph 5000 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 airspace designation
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.
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 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
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.

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 by amending the Class D airspace at
Oakland County International Airport, Ponitac, MI, adding an extension
1.0 mile each side of the 274[deg] bearing from the airport extending
from the 4.2-mile radius to 4.4 miles west of the airport; and adding
an extension 1.0 mile each side of the 275[deg] bearing from the
Oakland County Intl: RWY 09R-LOC extending from the 4.2-mile radius to
4.4 miles west of the Oakland County Intl: RWY 09R-LOC.
This action also would make an editorial change to the airspace
legal description replacing ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with ``Chart
Supplement''.
This action is necessary due to an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Pontiac VOR, which provided navigation
information to the instrument procedures at this airport, as part of
the VOR MON Program.
Class D airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000 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
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
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 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
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.
