History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (86 FR 22368, April 28, 2021)
for Docket No. FAA–2021–0003 to
amend Class D airspace, Class E surface
airspace, and Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Cape Girardeau Regional Airport,
Cape Girardeau, MO, to accommodate
area navigation (RNAV) global
positioning system (GPS) standard
instrument approach procedures
(SIAPs) serving this airport. Also, the
FAA is removing the Class E airspace
area designated as an extension to Class
D and Class E surface areas at Cape
Girardeau Regional Airport, as it is no
longer required.
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal to the FAA. No comments
were received.

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. 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 minimal. Since this is a
routine matter that only affects air traffic
procedures an air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when
promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
PO 00000

number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
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 5–6.5a. 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.

use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends the Class D airspace; amends the Class E surface airspace;
amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface; and revokes the Class E airspace area designated as an
extension to Class D and Class E surface
[[Page 38917]]
airspace at Cape Girardeau Regional Airport, Cape Girardeau, MO, to
support IFR operations at this airport.
History
The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (86 FR 22368, April 28, 2021) for Docket No. FAA-2021-0003 to
amend Class D airspace, Class E surface airspace, and Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Cape Girardeau
Regional Airport, Cape Girardeau, MO, to accommodate area navigation
(RNAV) global positioning system (GPS) standard instrument approach
procedures (SIAPs) serving this airport. Also, the FAA is removing the
Class E airspace area designated as an extension to Class D and Class E
surface areas at Cape Girardeau Regional Airport, as it is no longer
required.
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 D and Class E airspace designations are published in
Paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004, 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
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 routes, and reporting
points.
The Rule
The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71 by: Amending the Class D
airspace at Cape Girardeau Regional Airport, Cape Girardeau, MO, by
adding an extension 1 mile each side of the 021[deg] bearing from the
airport extending from the 4.1-mile radius to 4.4 miles north of the
airport; and adding an extension 1 mile each side of the 106[deg]
bearing from the Cape Girardeau RGNL: RWY 10-LOC extending from the
4.1-mile radius of the airport to 4.4 miles east of the Cape Girardeau
RGNL: RWY 10-LOC;
Amending the Class E surface airspace at Cape Girardeau Regional
Airport by removing the vertical limit on the airspace as it is not
required; adding an extension 1 mile each side of the 021[deg] bearing
from the airport extending from the 4.1-mile radius to 4.4 miles north
of the airport; and adding an extension 1 mile each side of the
106[deg] bearing from the Cape Girardeau RGNL: RWY 10-LOC extending
from the 4.1-mile radius of the airport to 4.4 miles east of the Cape
Girardeau RGNL: RWY 10-LOC;
Removing the Class E airspace area designated as an extension to
Class D and Class E surface area at Cape Girardeau Regional Airport as
it is no longer required;
And amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Cape Girardeau Regional Airport by removing the
Cape Girardeau VOR/DME and associated extension from the airspace legal
description; updating the bearing of the north extension to 021[deg]
(previously 023[deg]); updating the bearing of the east extension to
106[deg] (previously 108[deg]) and changing the reference of the
extension to the Cape Girardeau RGNL: RWY 10-LOC (previously the
airport); updating the bearing of the south extension to 201[deg]
(previously 203[deg]); and updating the bearing of the west extension
to 286[deg] (previously 280[deg]); and updating the name of the Cape
Girardeau RGNL: RWY 10-LOC (previously Cape Girard Regional Localizer)
to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
This action is necessary due to an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Marion VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures this airport, as part of the
VOR MON Program.
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. 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 minimal. Since this is a routine matter that only
affects air traffic procedures an 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.
Environmental Review
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 5-6.5a. 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.
