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 E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.5-mile radius
(increased from a 6.4-mile radius) at
Posey Field Airport, Haleyville, AL;
removing the city associated with the
airport in the airspace legal description
to comply with a change in FAA Order
7400.2M, Procedures for Handling
Airspace Matters; removing the
Hamilton VORTAC and associated
extension from the airspace legal
description; and adding an extension 2
miles each side of the 002° bearing from
the airport extending from the 6.5-mile
radius to 11 miles north of the airport;
And amending the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.5-mile radius
(reduced from a 6.6-mile radius) of
Marion County-Rankin Fite Airport,
Hamilton, AL; removing the city
associated with the airport in the
airspace legal description to comply
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
33023
with a change in FAA Order 7400.2M;
removing the Hamilton VORTAC and
associated extension from the airspace
legal description; adding an extension 4
miles each side of the 002° bearing from
the airport extending from the 6.5-mile
radius to 11.8 miles north of the airport;
adding an extension 4 miles each side
of the 182° bearing from the airport
extending from the 6.5-mile radius to
11.4 miles south of the airport; and
would update the name and geographic
coordinates of the Marion CountyRankin Fite Airport (formerly Marion
County Airport) to coincide with the
FAA’s aeronautical database.
This action is the result of an airspace
review caused by the decommissioning
of the Hamilton VOR, which provided
navigation information for the
instrument procedures at these airports,
as part of the VOR MON Program.
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 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Regulatory Flexibility Act (‘‘RFA’’),
codified at 5 U.S.C. 601–612, requires
an agency to review its rules that have
a significant economic impact upon a
substantial number of small entities
within ten years of the publication of
such rules as final rules. 5 U.S.C. 610(a).
The purpose of the review is ‘‘to
determine whether such rules should be
continued without change, or should be
amended or rescinded . . . to minimize
any significant economic impact of the
rules upon a substantial number of such
small entities.’’ 5 U.S.C. 610(a). The
RFA sets forth specific considerations
that must be addressed in the review of
each rule:
• The continued need for the rule;
• The nature of complaints or
comments received concerning the rule
from the public;
• The complexity of the rule;
• The extent to which the rule
overlaps, duplicates or conflicts with
other federal rules, and, to the extent
feasible, with state and local
governmental rules; and
• The length of time since the rule
has been evaluated or the degree to
which technology, economic conditions,
or other factors have changed in the area
affected by the rule. 5 U.S.C. 610(c).
The Securities and Exchange
Commission, as a matter of policy,
reviews all final rules that it published
for notice and comment to assess not
only their continued compliance with
the RFA, but also to assess generally
their continued utility. When the
Commission implemented the RFA in
1981, it stated that it ‘‘intend[ed] to
conduct a broader review [than that
required by the RFA], with a view to
identifying those rules in need of
modification or even rescission.’’
Securities Act Release No. 6302 (Mar.
20, 1981), 46 FR 19251 (Mar. 30, 1981).
The list below is therefore broader than
that required by the RFA, and may
include rules that do not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities (but
excludes such rules that are minor
amendments to previously adopted
rules or rules that are ministerial,
procedural, or technical in nature).
Where the Commission has previously
made a determination of a rule’s impact
on small businesses, the determination
is noted on the list.
The Commission particularly solicits
public comment on whether the rules

The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by:
Amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.5-mile radius (increased from a 6.4-mile
radius) at Posey Field Airport, Haleyville, AL; removing the city
associated with the airport in the airspace legal description to comply
with a change in FAA Order 7400.2M, Procedures for Handling Airspace
Matters; removing the Hamilton VORTAC and associated extension from the
airspace legal description; and adding an extension 2 miles each side
of the 002[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the 6.5-mile
radius to 11 miles north of the airport;
And amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to within a 6.5-mile radius (reduced from a 6.6-mile
radius) of Marion County-Rankin Fite Airport, Hamilton, AL; removing
the city associated with the airport in the airspace legal description
to comply with a change in FAA Order 7400.2M; removing the Hamilton
VORTAC and associated extension from the airspace legal description;
adding an extension 4 miles each side of the 002[deg] bearing from the
airport extending from the 6.5-mile radius to 11.8 miles north of the
airport; adding an extension 4 miles each side of the 182[deg] bearing
from the airport extending from the 6.5-mile radius to 11.4 miles south
of the airport; and would update the name and geographic coordinates of
the Marion County-Rankin Fite Airport (formerly Marion County Airport)
to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Hamilton VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures at these airports, as part of
the VOR MON Program.
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 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.
