Amendment of Phoenix Sky Harbor
Class B Legal Description
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule, technical
amendment.
AGENCY:
This action amends the
Phoenix Sky Harbor Class B legal
description by accurately reflecting the
name of the geographical reference
point, I–10/Squaw Peak Stack to I–10/
Stack contained in the Area A and Area
D legal description. The FAA is taking
this action because the local community
removed Squaw Peak from the
geographical reference point and to
ensure accurate information is reflected.
DATES: 0901 UTC, December 31, 2020.
The Director of the Federal Register
approves this incorporation by reference
action under Title 1 Code of Federal
Regulation part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and

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 the 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 modifies the
Phoenix Sky Harbor Class B legal
description to preserve the safe and
efficient flow of air traffic.

Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document amends FAA Order
7400.11E, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020,
and effective September 15, 2020. FAA
Order 7400.11E is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by amending the Phoenix Sky
Harbor, Class B Area A and Area D legal
description, removing the terms Squaw
Peak, due to the same actions by local
community legislation.
Since this action merely involves
editorial changes in the legal
description of the Phoenix Sky Harbor,
Class B, Area A and Area D and does
not involve a change in the dimensions
or operating requirements of that
airspace, notice and public procedure
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.

Class B Airspace is published in
paragraph 3000 Subpart B, of FAA
Order 7400.11E, signed July 21, 2020,
and effective September 15, 2020, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class B Airspace listed in this
document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
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. 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 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 of amending the airspace
descriptions of the Phoenix Sky Harbor,
Class B area A and Area D legal
description, by removing the references
to the term Squaw Peak as a geographic
reference point, qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National
Environmental Policy Act and its
agency-specific implementing
regulations in FAA Order 1050.1F,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures’’ regarding categorical
exclusions for procedural actions at
paragraph 5–6.5a, which categorically
excludes from full 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). This airspace action
is an editorial change only and is not
expected to result in any potentially
significant environmental impacts. In
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F,
paragraph 5–2 regarding Extraordinary
Circumstances, this action has been
reviewed for factors and circumstances
in which a normally categorically
excluded action may have a significant
environmental impact requiring further
analysis, and it is determined that no
extraordinary circumstances exist that

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 Frankfort
Dow Memorial Field Airport, Frankfort,
MI, to support instrument flight rule
operations at this airport.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (85 FR 43510; July 17, 2020) for
Docket No. FAA–2020–0630 to amend
the Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface at
Frankfort Dow Memorial Field Airport,
Frankfort, MI. 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 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020,
and effective September 15, 2020, 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
7400.11E, Airspace Designations and

points.
The Rule
This amendment to Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
amends the Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
to within a 7.2-mile (increased from a
6.4-mile) radius of Frankfort Dow
Memorial Field Airport, Frankfort, MI;
removes the Manistee VOR/DME and
associated extension from the airspace
legal description, as it is no longer
required; and updates 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 cancellation of
instrument procedures at this 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 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.

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
the 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 modifies the Phoenix Sky Harbor Class B legal
description to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic.
Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document amends FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15,
2020. FAA Order 7400.11E is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) part 71 by amending the Phoenix Sky Harbor, Class B Area A and
Area D legal description, removing the terms Squaw Peak, due to the
same actions by local community legislation.
Since this action merely involves editorial changes in the legal
description of the Phoenix Sky Harbor, Class B, Area A and Area D and
does not involve a change in the dimensions or operating requirements
of that airspace, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
unnecessary.
Class B Airspace is published in paragraph 3000 Subpart B, of FAA
Order 7400.11E, signed July 21, 2020, and effective September 15, 2020,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class B Airspace
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
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.
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 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 of amending the airspace
descriptions of the Phoenix Sky Harbor, Class B area A and Area D legal
description, by removing the references to the term Squaw Peak as a
geographic reference point, qualifies for categorical exclusion under
the National Environmental Policy Act and its agency-specific
implementing regulations in FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts:
Policies and Procedures'' regarding categorical exclusions for
procedural actions at paragraph 5-6.5a, which categorically excludes
from full 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). This
airspace action is an editorial change only and is not expected to
result in any potentially significant environmental impacts. In
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding
Extraordinary Circumstances, this action has been reviewed for factors
and circumstances in which a normally categorically excluded action may
have a significant environmental impact requiring further analysis, and
it is determined that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant
preparation of an environmental assessment.
