Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 239 / Friday, December 11, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
Authority for This Rulemaking
Title 49 of the United States Code
specifies the FAA’s authority to issue
rules on aviation safety. 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.
The FAA is issuing this rulemaking
under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section
44701: General requirements. Under
that section, Congress charges the FAA
with promoting safe flight of civil
aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and
procedures the Administrator finds
necessary for safety in air commerce.
This regulation is within the scope of
that authority because it addresses an
unsafe condition that is likely to exist or
develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
Regulatory Findings
This AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on
the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify that this AD:
(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866,
and
(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation
in Alaska.

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
Class E airspace at Cairo Regional
Airport, Cairo, IL, to support instrument
flight rules operations in the area.

History
The FAA published a notice of prosed
rulemaking in the Federal Register (85
FR 64422, October 13, 2020) for Docket
No. FAA–2020–0726 to amend Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface to within a 6.5mile (reduced from a 7-mile) radius of
Cairo Regional Airport, Cairo, IL; adding
an extension 2.5 miles each side of the
330° bearing from the Cairo NonDirectional Beacon (NDB) extending
from the 6.5-mile radius of the Cairo
Regional Airport to 7 miles northwest of
the Cairo NDB; and updating the name

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 Cape Girardeau VOR, which
provided navigation information for the
instrument procedures at this airport, as
part of the VOR MON Program.
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
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 routes, and reporting points.
The Rule
This amendment to Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
amends Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
to within a 6.5-mile (reduced from a 7mile) radius of Cairo Regional Airport,
Cairo, IL; adding an extension 2.5 miles
each side of the 330° bearing from the
Cairo NDB extending from the 6.5-mile
radius of the Cairo Regional Airport to
7 miles northwest of the Cairo NDB; and
updating the name (previously Cairo
Airport) and geographic coordinates of
the airport to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database.
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. 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)
PO 00000
Frm 00056
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 5–6.5a. 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.

the amendment of Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above

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 routes, and reporting
points.
The Rule
This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.5-mile (reduced from a 7-mile) radius of
Cairo Regional Airport, Cairo, IL; adding an extension 2.5 miles each
side of the 330[deg] bearing from the Cairo NDB extending from the 6.5-
mile radius of the Cairo Regional Airport to 7 miles northwest of the
Cairo NDB; and updating the name (previously Cairo Airport) and
geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database.
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. 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 5-6.5a. 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.
