Order 7400.11E is publicly available as

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Rule
Authority for This Rulemaking
The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71
by amending Class E surface airspace for
Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport,
Bar Harbor, ME, by increasing the radius
from 4.2 miles to 5.5 miles and
eliminating the extensions off the 204°
and 024° bearings, respectively. The
Class E airspace extending up from 700
feet above the surface for Hancock
County-Bar Harbor is amended by
increasing the radius from 7.4 miles to
8.0 miles and adding an extension 3.7
miles each side of the Hancock CountyBar Harbor Airport 025° bearing
extending from the 8.0-mile radius to
11.4 miles northeast of the airport. In
addition, the geographical coordinates
of Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport
are updated to coincide with the FAA’s
database. This action also establishes
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface for Bar Harbor
Heliport. These changes are necessary
for continued safety and management of
IFR operations in the area.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on
September 15.

Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
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 amends and
establishes Class E airspace in Bar
Harbor, ME, to support IFR operations
in the area.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (86 FR 24562, May 7, 2021) for
Docket No. FAA–2021–0295 to amend
Class E surface airspace and Class E
airspace extending up from 700 feet
above the surface for Hancock CountyBar Harbor Airport, Bar Harbor, ME. In
addition, the geographical coordinates
of Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport
would be updated. This action also
proposed to establish Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface for Bar Harbor Heliport.
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 Paragraphs 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 designations
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.

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 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.

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

is not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts, and
no extraordinary circumstances exist
that warrant preparation of an
