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 Pratt
Regional Airport, Pratt, KS, to support
IFR operations at this airport.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (84 FR 68379; December 16,
2019) for Docket No. FAA–2019–0902 to
amend the Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Pratt Regional Airport, Pratt, KS.
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.

The Rule
This 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 within a 6.5-mile radius of
the Pratt Regional Airport, Pratt, KS;
and removing the Pratt NDB from the
airspace legal description. Additionally,
the airport name and geographic
coordinates will be adjusted to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database.
This action is the result of an airspace
review caused by the decommissioning
of the Pratt NDB, which provided
navigation information for the
instrument procedures at this airport.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on
September 15.

2. The incorporation by reference in
14 CFR 71.1 of FAA Order 7400.11D,
Airspace Designations and Reporting

effective September 15, 2019, is
amended as follows:
■
Paragraph 6005 Class E Airspace Areas
Extending Upward From 700 Feet or More
Above the Surface of the Earth.
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.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This action amends the Class
E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Avenger Field
Airport, Sweetwater, TX. This action is
the result of airspace review caused by
the decommissioning of the Sweetwater
non-directional radio beacon (NDB).
The geographic coordinates of the
airport would also be updated to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautic
database. Airspace redesign is necessary
for the safety and management of
instrument flight rules (IFR) operations
at this airport.
