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 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. 1.

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 the Class D airspace at Richard Lloyd Jones Jr. Airport, Tulsa, OK, by removing the Glenpool VOR/ DME and the associated extension to the south of the airport from the airspace legal description; adding an extension 1 mile each side of the 193° bearing from the Richard Lloyd Jones Jr.: RWY 01L– LOC extending from the 4-mile radius to 4.1 miles south of the airport; updating the location in the header of the airspace legal description to Tulsa, OK (previously Tulsa Richard Lloyd Jones Jr. Airport, OK), to comply with FAA Order 7400.2M, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters; removing the city associated with the airport from the airspace legal description to comply with FAA Order 7400.2M; updating the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database; and would make an editorial change replacing the outdated term ‘‘Airport/Facility Directory’’ with ‘‘Chart Supplement’’; Amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 6.5-mile radius (increasing from a 6.4-mile radius) of Richard Lloyd Jones Jr. Airport; and removing the city associated with the airport from the airspace legal description to comply with FAA Order 7400.2M; And amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 6.5-mile radius (decreasing from a 7.2-mile radius) of the William R. Pogue Municipal Airport, Sand Springs, OK; removing the Glenpool VOR/DME and the associated extension northwest of the William R. Pogue Municipal Airport from the Tulsa, OK, from the airspace legal description; and removing the city associated with the airport from the PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 airspace legal description to comply with FAA Order 7400.2M. This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the decommissioning of the Glenpool 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 designations 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.

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 Richard Lloyd Jones Jr. Airport, 
Tulsa, OK, by removing the Glenpool VOR/DME and the associated 
extension to the south of the airport from the airspace legal 
description; adding an extension 1 mile each side of the 193[deg] 
bearing from the Richard Lloyd Jones Jr.: RWY 01L-LOC extending from 
the 4-mile radius to 4.1 miles south of the airport; updating the 
location in the header of the airspace legal description to Tulsa, OK 
(previously Tulsa Richard Lloyd Jones Jr. Airport, OK), to comply with 
FAA Order 7400.2M, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters; removing 
the city associated with the airport from the airspace legal 
description to comply with FAA Order 7400.2M; updating the geographic 
coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical 
database; and would make an editorial change replacing the outdated 
term ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with ``Chart Supplement'';
    Amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface to within a 6.5-mile radius (increasing from a 6.4-mile 
radius) of Richard Lloyd Jones Jr. Airport; and removing the city 
associated with the airport from the airspace legal description to 
comply with FAA Order 7400.2M;
    And amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface to within a 6.5-mile radius (decreasing from a 7.2-
mile radius) of the William R. Pogue Municipal Airport, Sand Springs, 
OK; removing the Glenpool VOR/DME and the associated extension 
northwest of the William R. Pogue Municipal Airport from the Tulsa, OK, 
from the airspace legal description; and removing the city associated 
with the airport from the airspace legal description to comply with FAA 
Order 7400.2M.
    This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the 
decommissioning of the Glenpool 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 designations 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.
