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 airspace, Class E airspace designated as a surface area, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Chippewa Valley Regional Airport, Eau Claire, WI, to support instrument flight rule operations at the airport. History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register (83 FR 25969; June 5, 2018) for Docket No. FAA–2018–0236 to amend Class D airspace, Class E airspace designated as a surface area, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Chippewa Valley Regional Airport, Eau Claire, WI. 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, 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 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 7400.11C, 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:03 Feb 08, 2019 Jkt 247001 The Rule This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71: Amends the Class D airspace at Chippewa Valley Regional Airport, Eau Claire, WI, by adding an extension 1 mile each side of the 215° bearing from the airport from the 4.3-mile radius to 4.5 miles south of the airport; adding an extension 1 mile each side of the 224° bearing from the Chippewa Valley RGNL: RWY 22 LOC from the 4.3-mile radius to 4.5 miles south of the airport; removing the name of the city associated with the airport in the airspace legal description to comply with a change to FAA Order 7400.2L, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters; and amending the part-time language from ‘‘The effective date and time will thereafter be continuously published in advance by Notice to Airmen.’’ to ‘‘The effective date and time will thereafter be continuously published in the Chart Supplement.’’ in compliance with FAA Order 7400.2L; Amends the Class E airspace designated as a surface area to within a 4.3-mile radius (reduced from a 4.4-mile radius) of the Chippewa Valley Regional Airport (formerly Eau Claire County Airport); removes the Eau Claire County Airport Localizer and the associated extension from the airspace legal description; adds an extension 1 mile each side of the 215° bearing from the airport from the 4.3-mile radius to 4.5 miles south of the airport; adds an extension 1 mile each side of the 224° bearing from the Chippewa Valley RGNL: RWY 22 LOC from the 4.3-mile radius to 4.5 miles south of the airport; changes the status of the airspace to part-time and adds part-time language to the airspace legal description; and updates the name and geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database; and Amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 6.8-mile radius (increased from a 6.7-mile radius) at Chippewa Valley Regional Airport; removes the extension to the southwest of the airport associated with the localizer; amends the extension north of the airport to within 4 miles (increased from 3.1 miles) each side of the Eau Claire VORTAC 004° radial from the 6.8-mile radius to 7 miles north of the airport; and updates the geographic coordinates of Chippewa Valley Regional Airport and the name of Mayo Clinic Health System-Eau Claire PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Heliport (formerly Luther Hospital) to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database. This action is due to an airspace review caused by the decommissioning of the Eau Claire NDB/LOM. 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 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 5–6.5.a. 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.

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 airspace, Class E airspace designated as a surface 
area, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface at Chippewa Valley Regional Airport, Eau Claire, WI, to support 
instrument flight rule operations at the airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal 
Register (83 FR 25969; June 5, 2018) for Docket No. FAA-2018-0236 to 
amend Class D airspace, Class E airspace designated as a surface area, 
and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface 
at Chippewa Valley Regional Airport, Eau Claire, WI. 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, 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 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 7400.11C, 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 Rule

    This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71:
    Amends the Class D airspace at Chippewa Valley Regional Airport, 
Eau Claire, WI, by adding an extension 1 mile each side of the 215[deg] 
bearing from the airport from the 4.3-mile radius to 4.5 miles south of 
the airport; adding an extension 1 mile each side of the 224[deg] 
bearing from the Chippewa Valley RGNL: RWY 22 LOC from the 4.3-mile 
radius to 4.5 miles south of the airport; removing the name of the city 
associated with the airport in the airspace legal description to comply 
with a change to FAA Order 7400.2L, Procedures for Handling Airspace 
Matters; and amending the part-time language from ``The effective date 
and time will thereafter be continuously published in advance by Notice 
to Airmen.'' to ``The effective date and time will thereafter be 
continuously published in the Chart Supplement.'' in compliance with 
FAA Order 7400.2L;
    Amends the Class E airspace designated as a surface area to within 
a 4.3-mile radius (reduced from a 4.4-mile radius) of the Chippewa 
Valley Regional Airport (formerly Eau Claire County Airport); removes 
the Eau Claire County Airport Localizer and the associated extension 
from the airspace legal description; adds an extension 1 mile each side 
of the 215[deg] bearing from the airport from the 4.3-mile radius to 
4.5 miles south of the airport; adds an extension 1 mile each side of 
the 224[deg] bearing from the Chippewa Valley RGNL: RWY 22 LOC from the 
4.3-mile radius to 4.5 miles south of the airport; changes the status 
of the airspace to part-time and adds part-time language to the 
airspace legal description; and updates the name and geographic 
coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical 
database; and
    Amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface to within a 6.8-mile radius (increased from a 6.7-mile 
radius) at Chippewa Valley Regional Airport; removes the extension to 
the southwest of the airport associated with the localizer; amends the 
extension north of the airport to within 4 miles (increased from 3.1 
miles) each side of the Eau Claire VORTAC 004[deg] radial from the 6.8-
mile radius to 7 miles north of the airport; and updates the geographic 
coordinates of Chippewa Valley Regional Airport and the name of Mayo 
Clinic Health System-Eau Claire Heliport (formerly Luther Hospital) to 
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    This action is due to an airspace review caused by the 
decommissioning of the Eau Claire NDB/LOM.

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 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 5-6.5.a. 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.
