airspace area designated as an extension
to Class D and Class E surface areas at
La Crosse Regional Airport, La Crosse,
WI. 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 D and E airspace designations

La Crosse Regional Airport extending
from the 4.4-mile radius of the airport
to 5.7 miles east of the airport; and
within 1 mile each side of the 216°
bearing from the La Crosse Regional
Airport extending from the 4.4-mile
radius of the airport to 5.6 miles
southwest of the airport;
And amends the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at La Crosse Regional
Airport by updating the name
(previously La Crosse Municipal
Airport) and geographic coordinates of
La Crosse Regional Airport to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database;
removes the La Crosse VOR/DME and
the associated extension from the
airspace legal description; updates the
name of Mayo Clinic Health SystemFranciscan Healthcare (previously Saint
Francis Medical Center) to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database;
adds an extension 1 mile each side of
the 359° bearing from the La Crosse
Regional Airport extending from the 6.9mile radius of the airport to 7.1 miles
north of the airport; adds an extension
within 2.9 miles each side of the 036°
bearing from the La Crosse Regional
Airport extending from the 6.9-mile
radius of the airport to 9.6 miles
northeast of the airport; adds an
extension 1 mile each side of the 119°

southwest of the airport.
This action is necessary due to an
airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the La Crosse VOR,
which provided navigation information
for the instrument procedures at this
airport, 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.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this
action qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’
paragraph 5–6.5.a. This airspace action
is not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts, and
no extraordinary circumstances exist
that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

Register (84 FR 35049; July 22, 2019) for Docket No. FAA-2019-0503 to
amend the Class D airspace, the Class E surface airspace, and the Class
E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, and
establish a Class E airspace area designated as an extension to Class D
and Class E surface areas at La Crosse Regional Airport, La Crosse, WI.
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 D and E airspace designations are published in paragraph
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 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.
Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document amends 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 Rule
This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71:
Amends the Class D airspace at La Crosse Regional Airport, La
Crosse, WI, by updating the name (previously La Crosse Municipal
Airport) and geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the
FAA's aeronautical database; and replaces the outdated term ``Airport/
Facility Directory'' with ``Chart Supplement'';
Amends the Class E surface airspace at La Crosse Regional Airport
by updating the name (previously La Crosse Municipal Airport) and
geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database; adding an altitude limit of 3,200 feet MSL; and
replaces the outdated term ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with ``Chart
Supplement'';
Establishes a Class E airspace area designated as an extension to
Class D and Class E surface areas at La Crosse Regional Airport within
1 mile each side of the 359[deg] bearing from the La Crosse Regional
Airport extending from the 4.4-mile radius of the airport to 5.3 miles
north of the airport; within 1 mile each side of the 359[deg] bearing
from the La Crosse Regional: RWY 18-LOC extending from the 4.4-mile
radius of the La Crosse Regional Airport to 5.3 miles north of the La
Crosse Regional: RWY 18-LOC; within 1 mile each side of the 036[deg]
bearing from the La Crosse Regional Airport extending from the 4.4-mile
radius of the airport to 6.2 miles northeast of the airport; within 1
mile each side of the 119[deg] bearing from the La Crosse Regional
Airport extending from the 4.4-mile radius of the airport to 5.7 miles
east of the airport; and within 1 mile each side of the 216[deg]
bearing from the La Crosse Regional Airport extending from the 4.4-mile
radius of the airport to 5.6 miles southwest of the airport;
And amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at La Crosse Regional Airport by updating the name
(previously La Crosse Municipal Airport) and geographic coordinates of
La Crosse Regional Airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical
database; removes the La Crosse VOR/DME and the associated extension
from the airspace legal description; updates the name of Mayo Clinic
Health System-Franciscan Healthcare (previously Saint Francis Medical
Center) to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database; adds an
extension 1 mile each side of the 359[deg] bearing from the La Crosse
Regional Airport extending from the 6.9-mile radius of the airport to
7.1 miles north of the airport; adds an extension within 2.9 miles each
side of the 036[deg] bearing from the La Crosse Regional Airport
extending from the 6.9-mile radius of the airport to 9.6 miles
northeast of the airport; adds an extension 1 mile each side of the
119[deg] bearing from the La Crosse Regional Airport extending from the
6.9-mile radius of the airport to 7.4 miles southeast of the airport;
and adds an extension 2 miles each side of the 216[deg] bearing from
the La Crosse Regional Airport extending from the 6.9-mile radius of
the airport to 11.3 miles southwest of the airport.
This action is necessary due to an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the La Crosse VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures at this airport, 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.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
