Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
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 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 at Jim Hogg
County Airport, Hebbronville, TX, by
removing the Hebbronville NDB and
associated extension from the airspace
legal description; and removing the
cities associated with the airports to
comply with changes to FAA Order
7400.2M, Procedures for Handling
Airspace Matters.
This action is the result of an airspace
review due to the decommissioning of
the Hebbronville NDB which provided
navigation information for the
instrument procedures at this airport.
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.
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 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.

The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio

regulations found in Table 1 of Title 33

of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
section 100.801 for events occurring
within the Sector Ohio Valley area of
responsibility within the Coast Guard’s
Eighth District.
This proposed rule would update the
list of annually recurring special local
regulations under 33 CFR 100.801,
Table 1, for annual special local
regulations in the Sector Ohio Valley’s
Area of Responsibillity (AOR). The
Coast Guard will address all comments
through response via the rulemaking
process, including additional revisions
to this regulatory section. Additionally,
the public would be informed of these
recurring events through local means
and planned by the local communities.
The current list of annual and
recurring special local regulations
occurring in Sector Ohio Valley’s AOR
is published in 33 CFR 100.801, Table
1 titled ‘‘Ohio Valley Annual and
Reoccuring Marine Events.’’ The most
recent list was created June 8, 2020 via
85 FR 34994.
The Coast Guard’s authority for
establishing a special local regulation is
contained in 46 U.S.C. 70041(a). The
Coast Guard proposes to amend and
update the special local regulations in
33 CFR 100.801, Table 1, to include the
most up to date list of recurring special
local regulations for events held on or
around the navigable waters within
Sector Ohio Valley’s AOR. These events
would include marine parades, boat
races, swim events, and other marine
related events. The current list under 33
CFR 100.801, Table 1, requires
amendment to provide new information
on existing special local regulations,
add new special local regulations
expected to recur annually or
biannually, and to remove special local
regulations that no longer occur. Issuing
individual regulations for each new
special local regulation, amendment, or
removal of an existing special local
regulation creates unnecessary
administrative costs and burdens. This
single proposed rulemaking will
considerably reduce administrative
overhead and provide the public with
notice through publication in the
Federal Register of recurring special
local regulations in the AOR.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
Part 100 of 33 CFR. contains
regulations describing regattas and
marine parades conducted on U.S.
navigable waters in order to ensure the
safety of life in the regulated areas.
Section 100.801 provides the
regulations applicable to events taking
place in the Eighth Coast Guard District
and also provides a table listing each
event and special local regulations. This

airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database; and removing
the city associated with the airport in the header of the airspace
legal description to comply with changes to FAA Order 7400.2M,
Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters.
This action is the result of airspace reviews caused by the
decommissioning of the Wellsville VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures these airports, as part of
the VOR MON Program.
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.
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 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,

final regulatory action.
