Documents for Incorporation by

dated August 13, 2018, and effective
September 15, 2018. FAA Order
7400.11C is publicly available as listed

in the ADDRESSES section of this

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 surface
airspace at Huntsville International-Carl
T. Jones Field, Huntsville, AL, by
updating the city in the airspace legal
description to Huntsville, AL
(previously Huntsville InternationalCarl T. Jones Field, AL), to comply with
a change to FAA Order 7400.2M,
Procedures for Handling Airspace
Matters; updating the geographic
coordinates of the Huntsville
International-Carl T. Jones Field;
updating the name of Huntsville
International-Carl T. Jones Field
(previously Huntsville InternationalCarl T. Jones Field Airport) and
Redstone AAF (previously Redstone
Army Air Field) to coincide with the
FAA’s aeronautical database; and would
replace the outdated term ‘‘Airport/
Facility Directory’’ with ‘‘Chart
Supplement’’;
Establishing a Class E airspace area
designated as an extension to a Class C
surface area at Huntsville InternationalCarl T. Jones Field extending 1 mile
each side of the 181° bearing from the
Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones
Field: RWY 36L–LOC extending from
the 5-mile radius of Huntsville
International-Carl T. Jones Field to 6.3
miles south of the Huntsville
International-Carl T. Jones Field: RWY
36L–LOC;
And amending the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 7.5-mile radius
(reduced from an 8.2-mile radius) of
Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones
Field; adding an extension 3 miles each
side of the 001° bearing from Huntsville
International-Carl T. Jones Field
extending from the 7.5-mile radius to
12.3 miles north of the Huntsville
International-Carl T. Jones Field; adding
an extension 1.3 miles each side of the
181° bearing from the Huntsville
International-Carl T. Jones Field: RWY
36L–LOC extending from the 7.5-mile
radius to 8.3 miles south of the
Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones
Field: RWY 36L–LOC; updating the
names of Huntsville International-Carl
T. Jones Field (previously Huntsville
International-Carl T. Jones Airport),
Pryor Field Regional Airport (previously
Pryor Field), Decatur, AL, and
Huntsville Executive Tom Sharp Jr.
Field (previously Huntsville Airport

North), Huntsville, AL, to coincide with
the FAA’s aeronautical database; and
would update the geographic
coordinates of Huntsville InternationalCarl T. Jones Field, Pryor Field Regional
Airport, and Huntsville Executive Tom
Sharp Jr. Field to coincide with the
FAA’s aeronautical database.
This action is the result of an airspace
review caused by the decommissioning
of the Decatur 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 6002, 6003, 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.
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.

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 surface airspace at Huntsville International-
Carl T. Jones Field, Huntsville, AL, by updating the city in the
airspace legal description to Huntsville, AL (previously Huntsville
International-Carl T. Jones Field, AL), to comply with a change to FAA
Order 7400.2M, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters; updating the
geographic coordinates of the Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones
Field; updating the name of Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones
Field (previously Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones Field Airport)
and Redstone AAF (previously Redstone Army Air Field) to coincide with
the FAA's aeronautical database; and would replace the outdated term
``Airport/Facility Directory'' with ``Chart Supplement'';
Establishing a Class E airspace area designated as an extension to
a Class C surface area at Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones Field
extending 1 mile each side of the 181[deg] bearing from the Huntsville
International-Carl T. Jones Field: RWY 36L-LOC extending from the 5-
mile radius of Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones Field to 6.3
miles south of the Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones Field: RWY
36L-LOC;
And amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to within a 7.5-mile radius (reduced from an 8.2-mile
radius) of Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones Field; adding an
extension 3 miles each side of the 001[deg] bearing from Huntsville
International-Carl T. Jones Field extending from the 7.5-mile radius to
12.3 miles north of the Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones Field;
adding an extension 1.3 miles each side of the 181[deg] bearing from
the Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones Field: RWY 36L-LOC extending
from the 7.5-mile radius to 8.3 miles south of the Huntsville
International-Carl T. Jones Field: RWY 36L-LOC; updating the names of
Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones Field (previously Huntsville
International-Carl T. Jones Airport), Pryor Field Regional Airport
(previously Pryor Field), Decatur, AL, and Huntsville Executive Tom
Sharp Jr. Field (previously Huntsville Airport North), Huntsville, AL,
to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database; and would update the
geographic coordinates of Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones Field,
Pryor Field Regional Airport, and Huntsville Executive Tom Sharp Jr.
Field to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Decatur 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 6002,
6003, 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.
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.
