AGENCY:
This action proposes to
amend Class D airspace and Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Lawrence J.
Timmerman Airport, Milwaukee, WI.

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 by:
Amending Class D airspace to within
a 3.9-mile radius (reduced from a 4.4mile radius) of Lawrence J. Timmerman
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:23 Oct 12, 2018
Jkt 247001
Airport, Milwaukee, WI; and updating
the airspace designation from
‘‘Milwaukee, Lawrence J. Timmerman
Airport, WI’’ to ‘‘Milwaukee, WI’’,
removing the city from the airport name,
and making an editorial change
replacing ‘‘Airport/Facility Directory’’
with ‘‘Chart Supplement’’ to comply
with FAA Order 7400.2L, Procedures for
Handling Airspace Matters; and
Amending Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
to within a 6.4-mile radius (reduced
from an 8.9-mile radius) of Lawrence J.
Timmerman Airport, Milwaukee, WI;
adding an extension within 2 miles each
side of the 218° bearing from Lawrence
J. Timmerman Airport extending from
the 6.4-mile radius to 11.7 miles
southwest of the airport; adding an
extension within 9 miles west and 6
miles east of the 328° bearing from the
Lawrence J. Timmerman: RWY 15L–
LOC extending from the 6.4-mile radius
to 10 miles northwest of the airport.
This action is necessary due to an
airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Timmerman
VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument
procedures at these airports, as part of
the VOR MON Program.
Class D and E airspace designations
are published in paragraph 5000 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 E 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.

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 by:
Amending Class D airspace to within a 3.9-mile radius (reduced from
a 4.4-mile radius) of Lawrence J. Timmerman Airport, Milwaukee, WI; and
updating the airspace designation from ``Milwaukee, Lawrence J.
Timmerman Airport, WI'' to ``Milwaukee, WI'', removing the city from
the airport name, and making an editorial change replacing ``Airport/
Facility Directory'' with ``Chart Supplement'' to comply with FAA Order
7400.2L, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters; and
Amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface to within a 6.4-mile radius (reduced from an 8.9-mile radius)
of Lawrence J. Timmerman Airport, Milwaukee, WI; adding an extension
within 2 miles each side of the 218[deg] bearing from Lawrence J.
Timmerman Airport extending from the 6.4-mile radius to 11.7 miles
southwest of the airport; adding an extension within 9 miles west and 6
miles east of the 328[deg] bearing from the Lawrence J. Timmerman: RWY
15L-LOC extending from the 6.4-mile radius to 10 miles northwest of the
airport.
This action is necessary due to an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Timmerman VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures at these airports, as part of
the VOR MON Program.
Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000
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 E 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.
