Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 197 / Thursday, October 10, 2019 / Proposed Rules
7400.11D is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11D 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 6.6mile radius (decreased from a 7-mile
radius) of the Winona Municipal
Airport-Max Conrad Field, and within
4-miles each side of the 119° bearing
from the airport extending from the 6.6mile radius to 11.6 miles southeast of
the airport, and within 1-mile each side
of the 299° bearing from the airport
extending from the 6.6 mile radius to
9.3 miles northwest of the airport
removing the exclusion verbiage as it is
no longer required, and updating the
geographic coordinates of the airport to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database.
This action is necessary due to an
airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Winona VOR,
which provided navigation information
for the instrument procedures at this
airports.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.11D, dated August 8, 2019,
and effective September 15, 2019, 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.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on
September 15.
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

Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated August 8, 2019, and effective
September 15, 2019. FAA Order
7400.11D is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11D 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 Class E4
airspace at Walla Walla Regional
Airport extending upward from the
surface within 2.4 miles each side of the
036° bearing extending from the 4.3mile radius to 11.6 miles northeast of
the Walla Walla Regional Airport. The
action also proposes to remove Class E4
airspace to the southwest of the airport
as it is not needed to contain aircraft on
any procedure currently published for
the airport. This airspace is designed to
contain IFR aircraft descending below
1,000 feet above the surface of the earth.
This action also proposes to amend
Class E5 airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface of the
earth. The action will remove a large
portion of the Class E5 airspace east of
the airport and resize the airspace to the
northeast and southwest of the airport
as follows, within 4 miles each side of
the 216° bearing extending from the 4.3mile radius to 12.5 miles southwest of
the airport, and within 4 miles east and

8 miles west of the 037° bearing
extending from 6 miles to 22.2 miles
northeast of the Walla Walla Regional
Airport. This airspace is designed to
contain IFR aircraft descending below
1,500 feet above the surface of the earth.
Lastly, this action proposes
administrative updates to the Class D
and Class E2 legal descriptions to
replace ‘‘Airport/Facilities Directory’’
with ‘‘Chart Supplement’’ and update
the airport’s geographic coordinates to
match the FAA’s aeronautical database.
Class D, E2, E4, and E5 airspace
descriptions are published in
paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004 and 6005,
respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11D
dated August 8, 2019, and effective
September 15, 2019, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace
designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the
Order.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on
September 15.
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.

miles each side of the 036[deg] bearing extending from the 4.3-mile
radius to 11.6 miles northeast of the Walla Walla Regional Airport. The
action also proposes to remove Class E4 airspace to the southwest of
the airport as it is not needed to contain aircraft on any procedure
currently published for the airport. This airspace is designed to
contain IFR aircraft descending below 1,000 feet above the surface of
the earth.
This action also proposes to amend Class E5 airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface of the earth. The action will
remove a large portion of the Class E5 airspace east of the airport and
resize the airspace to the northeast and southwest of the airport as
follows, within 4 miles each side of the 216[deg] bearing extending
from the 4.3-mile radius to 12.5 miles southwest of the airport, and
within 4 miles east and 8 miles west of the 037[deg] bearing extending
from 6 miles to 22.2 miles northeast of the Walla Walla Regional
Airport. This airspace is designed to contain IFR aircraft descending
below 1,500 feet above the surface of the earth.
Lastly, this action proposes administrative updates to the Class D
and Class E2 legal descriptions to replace ``Airport/Facilities
Directory'' with ``Chart Supplement'' and update the airport's
geographic coordinates to match the FAA's aeronautical database.
Class D, E2, E4, and E5 airspace descriptions are published in
paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004 and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order
7400.11D dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15, 2019, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.
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.
