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 14 CFR 71 by:
Amending the Class E surface
airspace to within a 4.2-mile (decreased
from a 4.5-mile) radius of Huron
Regional Airport, Huron, SD; and
updating the geographic coordinates of
the airport to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database;
And amending the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Huron Regional Airport by
removing the Huron VORTAC, Beady
NDB, and all extensions from the
airspace legal description as they are no
longer required; and updating the
geographic coordinates of the airport to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database.
This action is necessary due to an
airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Huron VOR,
which provided navigation information
for the instrument procedures this
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:14 Apr 08, 2021
Jkt 253001
airport, as part of the VOR MON
Program.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6002 and 6005,
respectively, 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 designation
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.

increase the airspace’s radius of the
airport from 35 miles to 46 miles. The
46-mile radius will properly contain IFR
aircraft transitioning to/from the airport.
Class E5 airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020,

This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace

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.
