Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 35 / Friday, February 21, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator.
Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the
agency’s authority. This rulemaking is
promulgated under the authority
described in Subtitle VII, Part A,
Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that
section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to assign the use
of airspace necessary to ensure the
safety of aircraft and the efficient use of
airspace. This regulation is within the
scope of that authority as it would
establish Class E airspace at Alpine
Airport, Alpine, WY, to ensure the
safety and management of Instrument
Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the
airport.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (84 FR 67383; December 10,
2019) for Docket No. FAA–2019–0811 to
establish Class E airspace at Alpine
Airport, Alpine, WY. Interested parties
were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA.
One comment was received. The
commenter recommended the airport
should be decommissioned. The
comment is not germane to the
establishment of airspace to contain IFR
procedures.
Class E5 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.

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
establishing Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet or more above the
surface at the Alpine Airport, Alpine,
WY. The Class E airspace supports the
airport’s transition from VFR to IFR
operations. Specifically, it will, to the
extent possible, contain IFR departures

until reaching 1,200 feet above the
surface and IFR arrivals when
descending below 1,500 feet above the
surface.
The first airspace area extends
upward from 700 feet above the surface
within a 4.0-mile radius to the airport,
and within 1 mile each side of the 179°
bearing from the airport, extending from
the 4.0-mile radius to 5.8 south of the
airport, and within 1.8 miles each side
of the 321° bearing from the airport,
extending from the 4.0-mile radius to
10.5 miles northwest of the airport.
The second airspace area extends
upward from 1,200 feet above the
surface within a 13-mile radius of the
airport.
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.

Differences From the NPRM
In the NPRM proposal section
addressing the proposed amendment to
RNAV route T–285 and in the regulatory
text section describing T–285, the North
Platte, NE, NAVAID was identified as a
VORTAC, in error. The North Platte, NE,
NAVAID is a VOR/Distance Measuring
Equipment (VOR/DME) facility. This
rule corrects that editorial error in the
rule section and regulatory text.
Also in the NPRM proposal section,
one of the proposed amendments to T–
285 indicated that the Rapid City
VORTAC ‘‘RAP’’ identifier would be
added to the first line of the route
description. This too was in error and
should have stated the North Platte, NE,
VOR/DME ‘‘LBF’’ identifier would be
added. The regulatory text for the T–285
description correctly indicated ‘‘North
Platte, NE (LBF)’’ in the first line of the
description as was intended. This rule
corrects that editorial error in the rule
section.
These editorial corrections do not
change the route’s structure, operational
use, or charted depiction, and are
consistent with the proposed
amendments to T–285.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority for This Rulemaking
The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Chandler Regional Airport, Chandler, OK, and Cushing
Municipal Airport, Cushing, OK, which are contained within the Shawnee,
OK, airspace legal description, to support instrument flight rule
operations at these airports.
History
The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (84 FR 67880; December 12, 2019) for Docket No. FAA-2019-0908
to amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Chandler Regional Airport, Chandler, OK, and Cushing
Municipal Airport, Cushing, OK, which are contained within the Shawnee,
OK, airspace legal description. 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 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.
Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document amends FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace Designations and

Amends the Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Chandler Regional Airport, Chandler, OK, by
removing the Tilghman NDB and associated extension from the airspace
legal description;
And amends the Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Cushing Municipal Airport, Cushing, OK, by
removing the Cushing NDB and associated extension from the airspace
legal description.
These actions are the result of airspace reviews caused by the
decommissioning of the Tilghman and Cushing NDBs, which provided

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 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.
