14 CFR Part 71
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to 14 CFR part 71 to revoke VOR Federal
airway V–271 and amend VOR Federal
airways V–285 due to the planned
decommissioning of the Manistee, MI,
VOR, in the vicinity of Manistee, MI.
The proposed VOR Federal airway
amendments are described below.
V–271: V–271 currently extends
between the Manistee, MI, VOR/DME
and the Escanaba, MI, VOR/DME. The
FAA proposes to revoke the airway.
V–285: V–285 currently extends
between the Brickyard, IN, VOR/
Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) and
the Traverse City, MI, VOR/DME. The
FAA proposes to delete a portion of the
airway between the White Cloud, MI,
VOR/DME and the Traverse City, MI,
VOR/DME. The airway would then
terminate at the White Cloud, MI, VOR/
DME. The unaffected portions of the
existing airway would remain as
charted.
All radials in the VOR Federal airway
descriptions below are unchanged and
stated in True degrees.
VOR Federal airways are published in
paragraph 6010(a) 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 airways listed in this
document would be subsequently
updated in the next edition of this
Order.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on
September 15.
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.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this
proposed 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 will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed rule, when
promulgated, will not have a significant

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
establish Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
of the earth to support IFR operations at
El Capitan Lodge, Craig, AK.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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 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 Proposal
Environmental Review
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to 14 CFR part 71 by establishing Class
E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface of the earth at El
Capitan Lodge, Craig, AK.
This action is associated with a sea
plane base, and therefore, the Class E
airspace would be established extending
upward from 700 feet above ground
level (AGL) within a 2-mile radius of the
airport’s sea lane versus the Lodge. In
addition, airspace extending upward
from 700 feet AGL would be established
1.9 miles each side of the 353° bearing
from a point-in-space, coordinates lat.
55°58′6″ N, long. 133°15′59″ W.,
extending from the 2-mile radius 8.5
miles north. This area would provide
controlled airspace for aircraft as they
descend below 1,500 feet AGL. The
airspace extending upward from 700
feet would also include the area 2 miles
each side of the 232° bearing from the
point-in-space extending from the 2mile radius 4 miles southwest. This area
would provide controlled airspace for
the missed approach procedure.
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
part 71.1. The Class E airspace
designations listed in this document
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.

This action is associated with a sea plane base, and therefore, the
Class E airspace would be established extending upward from 700 feet
above ground level (AGL) within a 2-mile radius of the airport's sea
lane versus the Lodge. In addition, airspace extending upward from 700
feet AGL would be established 1.9 miles each side of the 353[deg]
bearing from a point-in-space, coordinates lat. 55[deg]58'6'' N, long.
133[deg]15'59'' W., extending from the 2-mile radius 8.5 miles north.
This area would provide controlled airspace for aircraft as they
descend below 1,500 feet AGL. The airspace extending upward from 700
feet would also include the area 2 miles each side of the 232[deg]
bearing from the point-in-space extending from the 2-mile radius 4
miles southwest. This area would provide controlled airspace for the
missed approach procedure.
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 part 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, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
