Proposed Amendment of the Class E Airspace; Hazard, KY, 27189-27191 [2020-09465]

Download as PDF 27189 khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 89 / Thursday, May 7, 2020 / Proposed Rules Louis, MO, Class B (previously LambertSt. Louis International Airport, MO, Class B) to coincide with FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points; and replacing the outdated term ‘‘Airport/Facility Directory’’ with ‘‘Chart Supplement’’; Amending the Class E airspace area designated as an extension to a Class D surface area at St. Louis Regional Airport to within 2.5 miles (decreased from 2.6 miles) each side of the 008° (previously 012°) bearing from the Civic Memorial NDB (previously St. Louis Regional Airport) extending from the 4.4-mile (increased from 4.2-mile) radius of St. Louis Regional Airport to 7 miles (increased from 6.1 miles) north of the Civic Memorial NDB (previously the airport); updating the header of the airspace legal description to Alton/St. Louis, IL (previously Alton, IL) to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database; removing the city associated with the airport in the airspace legal description to comply with changes to FAA Order 7400.2M; updating the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database; and replacing the outdated term ‘‘Airport/Facility Directory’’ with ‘‘Chart Supplement’’; And establishing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6.9-mile radius St. Louis Regional Airport; and within 2.5 miles each side of the 008° bearing from the Civic Memorial NDB extending from the 6.9-mile radius of the airport to 7 miles north of the Civic Memorial NDB. (This airspace was previously contained within the St. Louis, MO, Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface airspace legal description; however, with this amendment, the airspace no longer adjoins, and a separate airspace legal description is being established by this action.) This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the decommissioning of the outer marker to runway 29 at St. Louis Regional Airport which provided navigational information to this airport. Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000, 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 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. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:10 May 06, 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.

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 would amend the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface at Wendell H. Ford Airport, Hazard, KY, to support 
instrument flight rule operations at this airport.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed 
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as 
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the 
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing 
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are 
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal. 
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in 
triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to 
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with 
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the 
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2020-0356/

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 extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 6.7-mile radius 
(increased from a 6.6-mile radius) of Wendell H. Ford Airport, Hazard, 
KY; adding an extension 2 miles each side of the 139[deg] bearing from 
the airport extending from the 6.7-mile radius of the airport to 11.1 
miles south of the airport; and updating the geographic coordinates of 
the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the 
decommissioning of the Hazard VOR, which provided navigation 
information for the instrument procedures at this airport, as part of 
the VOR MON Program.
    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

[[Page 27191]]

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.
