Amendment of Class E Airspace; Fairmont, MN, 49011-49012 [2019-20109]

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 18, 2019 / Rules and Regulations
coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautic database;
And removes the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Piatt County Airport,
Monticello, IL, due to the instrument
procedures being cancelled and the
airport being closed, so the airspace is
no longer required.
Subsequent to publication, the FAA
discovered a typographic error in the
header of the airspace legal description
removing the Monticello, IL, airspace.
The header is corrected from ‘‘AGL MN
E5 Monticello, IL [Removed]’’ to ‘‘AGL
IL E5 Monticello, IL [Removed].’’ All
else remains the same.
This action is the result of an airspace
review caused by the decommissioning
of the Mattoon VOR, which provided
navigation information for the
instrument procedures at these airports,
as part of the VOR MON Program.
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.

History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (84 FR 33194; July 12, 2019) for
Docket No. FAA–2019–0471 to amend
the Class E surface airspace and the
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Fairmont
Municipal Airport, Fairmont, MN.
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 E airspace
designations are published in paragraph
6002 and 6005 of FAA Order 7400.11D,
dated August 8, 2019, and effective
September 15, 2019, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
