Download as PDF 26602 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 87 / Tuesday, May 5, 2020 / Rules and Regulations VOR Federal airway changes are outlined below. V–7: V–7 extends between the Dolphin, FL, VORTAC and the Muscle Shoals, AL, VORTAC; between the Central City, KY, VORTAC and the intersection of the Chicago Heights, IL, VORTAC 358° and Badger, WI, VOR/ DME 117° radials; and between the Green Bay, WI, VORTAC and the Sawyer, MI, VOR/DME. The airspace below 2,000 feet mean sea level (MSL) outside the United States is excluded and the portion outside the United States has no upper limit. The airway segment overlying the Central City, KY, VORTAC between the Central City, KY, VORTAC and the Pocket City, IN, VORTAC is removed. The unaffected portions of the existing airway remain as charted. V–52: V–52 extends between the Des Moines, IA, VORTAC and the Livingston, TN, VOR/DME. The airway segment overlying the Central City, KY, VORTAC between the Pocket City, IN, VORTAC and the Bowling Green, KY, VORTAC is removed. The unaffected portions of the existing airway remain as charted. V–178: V–178 extends between the Hallsville, MO, VORTAC and the Bluefield, WV, VOR/DME. The airway segment overlying the Central City, KY, VORTAC between the Cunningham, KY, VOR/DME and the New Hope, KY, VOR/DME is removed. The unaffected portions of the existing airway remain as charted. All radials in the VOR Federal airway descriptions below are unchanged and stated in True degrees. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES Regulatory Notices and Analyses The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of Transportation (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, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:29 May 04, 2020 Jkt 250001 Environmental Review The FAA has determined that this action of modifying VOR Federal airways V–7, V–52, and V–178, due to the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Central City, KY, VORTAC NAVAID, qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5– 6.5a, which categorically excludes from further environmental impact review rulemaking actions that designate or modify classes of airspace areas, airways, routes, and reporting points (see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes; and Reporting Points). As such, this action is not expected to result in any potentially significant environmental impacts. In accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5–2 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed this action for factors and circumstances in which a normally categorically excluded action may have a significant environmental impact requiring further analysis. The FAA has determined that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment or environmental impact study.

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 surface area airspace and the Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Ely Municipal 
Airport, Ely, MN, to support IFR operations at this airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal 
Register (85 FR 5354; January 30, 2020) for Docket No. FAA-2019-1043 to 
amend the Class E surface area airspace and the Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Ely Municipal 
Airport, Ely, 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, 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.

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 E surface area airspace at Ely Municipal Airport, 
Ely, MN, by updating the name and geographic coordinates of the airport 
to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database; removes the Ely VOR/
DME and all associated extensions from the airspace legal description; 
adds an extension 1 mile each side of the 120[deg] bearing from the 
airport extending from the 4-mile radius to 4.6 miles southeast of the 
airport; and updates the outdated term ``Airport/Facility Directory'' 
with ``Chart Supplement;''
    And amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface to within a 6.5-mile radius (decreased from a 7.7-
mile radius) of the Ely Municipal Airport; and updates the geographic 
coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical 
database.
    These actions are the result of an airspace review caused by the 
decommissioning of the Ely VOR, which provided navigation information 
for the instrument procedures at this airport, as part of the VOR MON 
Program.
    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.
