Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Ada, OK, 5352-5354 [2020-01584]

Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS 5352 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 20 / Thursday, January 30, 2020 / Proposed Rules Airport, McAlester, OK, by removing the McAlester VORTAC and associated extensions from the airspace legal description; removing the Wampa LOM and associated extension from the airspace legal description as it is no longer required; removing the McAlester Regional Health Center Heliport and associated airspace contained within the McAlester, OK, airspace legal description as the instrument procedures at the heliport have been cancelled and the airspace is no longer required; removing the exclusionary language from the airspace legal description as it is no longer required; adding an extension 2 miles each side of the 020° bearing from the airport extending from the 6.5-mile radius to 10.4 miles north of the airport; and adding an extension 2 miles each side of the 200° bearing from the airport extending from the 6.5-mile radius to 10.5 miles south of the airport; and updating the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database; And amending the Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Robert S. Kerr Airport, Poteau, OK, by removing the Rich Mountain VORTAC and associated extension from the airspace legal description as it is no longer required; removing the Eastern Oklahoma Medical Center Heliport and associated airspace contained within the Poteau, OK, airspace legal description as the instrument procedures at the heliport have been cancelled and the airspace is no longer required; and removing the city associated with Robert S. Kerr Airport in the header of the airspace legal description to comply with changes to FAA Order 7400.2M, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters. These actions are the result of airspace reviews caused by the decommissioning of the McAlester VOR, which provided navigation information for the instrument procedures at these airports. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 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 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. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:13 Jan 29, 2020 Jkt 250001 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 7400.11D, 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 the Class E airspace area 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 6.6-mile 
radius (increased from a 6.5-mile radius) at Ada Regional Airport, Ada, 
OK; updating the name of the airport (previously Ada Municipal Airport) 
to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database; extending the 
extension to the north of the airport to 10.4 miles north of the 
airport (increased from 10.3 miles); and removing the Ada VOR and 
associated extension from the airspace legal description.
    These actions are the result of airspace review caused by the 
decommissioning of the Ada VOR, which provided navigation information 
for the instrument procedures at this airport.
    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 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

[[Page 5354]]

``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.
