Proposed Amendment and Establishment of Class E Airspace; York, PA, 24795-24797 [2021-09815]

Download as PDF 24795 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 88 / Monday, May 10, 2021 / Proposed Rules Federal Register of July 26, 2016 (81 FR 48694), Docket No. FAA–2011–1082. Although the VOR portion of the Eric VORTAC is planned for decommissioning, the co-located DME portion of the navigational aid is being retained in support of current and future Area Navigation (RNAV) procedures. The tactical air navigation (TACAN) system is also being retained to support the Department of Defense mission requirements. The VOR Federal airways affected by the Erie VOR are V–37, V–270, and V– 43. With the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Erie VORTAC, the remaining navigational aids in the area are insufficient to enable the continuity of the affected airways. As such, the proposal would result in the shortening of V–37 and V–270, and would result in the revocation of V–43. To overcome the shortening and removal of the proposed airways, pilots using RNAV could navigate point to point utilizing the fixes that would be retained or request air traffic control radar vectors through the area. Additionally, visual flight rules (VFR) pilots who elect to navigate via the affected airways could also take advantage of the air traffic control (ATC) services previously listed. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend V–37 and V–270, and revoke V–43, in the vicinity of Erie, PA. This is required due to the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Erie, PA, VORTAC. The proposed airway changes are described below. V–37: V–37 currently extends between the Craig, FL, VORTAC and the Erie, PA VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the airway segment between the Ellwood City, PA, VOR/DME and the Erie VORTAC. As a result, the amended airway would extend between the Craig VORTAC and the Ellwood City VOR/ DME. V–270: V–270 currently extends between the Erie, PA, VORTAC and the Jamestown, NY, VOR/DME; and between the Elmira, NY, VOR/DME and the Boston, MA, VOR/DME. The FAA proposes to remove the airway segment between the Erie VORTAC and the Jamestown VOR/DME. As a result, the amended airway would extend between the Elmira VOR/DME and the Boston VOR/DME. V–43: V–43 currently extends between the Youngstown, OH, VORTAC and the Erie, PA, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove V–43 in its entirety. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:59 May 07, 2021 Jkt 253001 All radials in the VOR Federal airway descriptions below are unchanged and stated in True degrees. Domestic 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 VOR Federal airways listed in this document would be subsequently published 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 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 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.

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 proposes an amendment to 14 14 CFR part 71 to amend Class E 
surface airspace by increasing the radius to 6.8 miles (previously 6.5 
miles) at York Airport, York, PA. This action would also would update 
the airports name. This action would also establish Class E airspace 
upward from 700 feet above the surface at York Airport, York, PA, and 
establish Class E airspace upward from 700 feet above the surface at 
Wellstone York Hospital Heliport, York, PA, providing the controlled 
airspace required to support the new RNAV (GPS) standard instrument 
approach procedures for IFR operations serving them respectively.
    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 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 DOT 
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); 
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation

[[Page 24797]]

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 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.
