SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 by amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 6.7mile (increased from a 6.6-mile) radius of Marana Regional Airport, Marana, AZ; adding an extension 3.8 miles each side of the 031° bearing from the airport extending from the 6.7-mile radius to 15.3 miles northeast of the airport; adding an extension 3.4 miles each side of the 330° bearing from the airport extending from the 6.7-mile radius to 12.7 miles northwest of the airport; updating the header of the airspace legal description to ‘‘Marana, AZ’’ (previously ‘‘Marana Regional, AZ’’) to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database; updating the name of the airport (previously Marana Regional) to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database; and removing the exclusionary language as it is no longer required. This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the decommissioning of the Marana NDB which provided navigation information for the instrument procedures at this airport. 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.

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

[[Page 40387]]

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 part 71 by amending the 
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to 
within a 6.7-mile (increased from a 6.6-mile) radius of Marana Regional 
Airport, Marana, AZ; adding an extension 3.8 miles each side of the 
031[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the 6.7-mile radius to 
15.3 miles northeast of the airport; adding an extension 3.4 miles each 
side of the 330[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the 6.7-
mile radius to 12.7 miles northwest of the airport; updating the header 
of the airspace legal description to ``Marana, AZ'' (previously 
``Marana Regional, AZ'') to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical 
database; updating the name of the airport (previously Marana Regional) 
to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database; and removing the 
exclusionary language as it is no longer required.
    This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the 
decommissioning of the Marana NDB which provided navigation information 
for the instrument procedures at this airport. 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 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.
