Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This action establishes a Class
E airspace area extending upward from
1,200 feet above the surface over the
State of North Dakota and removes the
enroute domestic airspace areas at
Harvey and Linton, ND. This action is
at the request of Salt Lake Air Route
Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) and
Minneapolis ARTCC to simplify and
close gaps in the existing class E
airspace extending upward from 1,200
feet above the surface over the State of
North Dakota; provide transitional
airspace to support instrument flight
rule (IFR) operations to and from the
terminal and enroute environments
within the state; and to improve air
traffic control services over the state of
North Dakota.
DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, August 12,
2021. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by
reference action under 1 CFR part 51,

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 establishes
a Class E airspace area extending
upward from 1,200 feet above the
surface over the State of North Dakota
and removes the enroute domestic
airspace areas at Harvey Municipal
Airport, Harvey, ND, and Linton
Municipal Airport, Linton, ND, which
become redundant, to simplify and
close gaps in the class E airspace
extending upward from 1,200 feet above
the surface over the State of North
Dakota; provide transitional airspace to
support IFR operations to and from the
terminal and enroute environments
within the state; and to improve air
traffic services over the state of North
Dakota.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the
Federal Register (86 FR 10883; February
23, 2021) for Docket No. FAA–2021–
0035 to establish an enroute domestic
airspace area over the State of North
Dakota and remove the enroute
domestic airspace areas at Harvey and
Linton, ND. 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 and 6006,
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 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 service routes, and reporting
points.
Differences From the NPRM
Subsequent to publication of the
NPRM, the FAA has determined that the
proposed Class E airspace area is more
appropriately defined as a transitional
airspace area (Class E airspace area
extending upward from 1,200 feet above
the surface) vice an enroute domestic
airspace area. Making this change has
no effect on the proposed Class E
airspace area and better supports the
requirements of the airports in the state
of North Dakota by providing
transitional airspace to support IFR
operations to and from the terminal and
enroute environments. The only change
to the Class E airspace area that was
proposed would be to the airspace legal
description header information, ‘‘AGL
ND E6 North Dakota, ND’’ to ‘‘AGL ND
E5 North Dakota, ND.’’ As this change
does not affect the Class E airspace area
as proposed, it is incorporated into this
rule.

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Internal Revenue Service
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.
Lists of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71:
Establishes Class E airspace area
extending upward from 1,200 feet above
the surface over the State of North
Dakota;
And removes the enroute domestic
airspace area at Harvey Municipal
Airport, Harvey, ND, and Linton
Municipal Airport, Linton, ND, as they
are redundant with the establishment of
the Class E airspace area extending
upward from 1,200 feet above the
surface over the state.
This action simplifies and closes gaps
in the existing class E airspace
extending upward from 1,200 feet above
the surface over the State of North
Dakota; provides transitional airspace to
support IFR operation to and from the
terminal and enroute environments
within the state; and to improve air
traffic control services over the state of
North Dakota.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on
September 15.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
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.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document amends FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace Designations and

2020. FAA Order 7400.11E is publicly available as listed in the

the proposed Class E airspace area is more appropriately defined as a

Making this change has no effect on the proposed Class E airspace area

The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71:
Establishes Class E airspace area extending upward from 1,200 feet

And removes the enroute domestic airspace area at Harvey Municipal
Airport, Harvey, ND, and Linton Municipal Airport, Linton, ND, as they

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

Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
