SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: 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 and modifies Class E airspace at Frank Wiley Field Airport, Miles City, MT, to ensure the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register (86 FR 44670; August 13, 2021) for Docket No. FAA–2021–0633 to establish and modify Class E airspace at Frank Wiley Field Airport, Miles City, MT. 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 E2, Class E4, and Class E5 airspace designations are published in paragraphs 6002, 6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September 15, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11. Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points. The Rule This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 establishes Class E airspace, designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area, at Frank Wiley Field Airport, Miles City, MT. The FAA proposes to amend the VOR RWY 4 approach and the amendment will relocate the point where aircraft descend below 1,000 feet above the surface from ‘‘3.35 miles’’ to ‘‘10.8 miles southwest of the airport.’’ The additional Class E airspace will ensure the containment of IFR aircraft flying the approach. This action also removes the Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface. This airspace area is wholly contained with the Glasgow en route airspace and duplication is not necessary. Additionally, the action implements an administrative update to the Class E2 and E5 text headers. The city name should not appear in the second line of the text header, and the term ‘‘Airport’’ should be added. This line of text should be changed from ‘‘Miles City, Frank Wiley Field, MT’’ to ‘‘Frank Wiley Field Airport, MT’’.

Paragraph 6002 Class E Airspace Areas Designated as a Surface Area. 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 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.

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 and modifies Class E airspace at Frank Wiley Field 
Airport, Miles City, MT, to ensure the safety and management of IFR 
operations at the airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal 
Register (86 FR 44670; August 13, 2021) for Docket No. FAA-2021-0633 to 
establish and modify Class E airspace at Frank Wiley Field Airport, 
Miles City, MT. 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 E2, Class E4, and Class E5 airspace designations are 
published in paragraphs 6002, 6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA 
Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September 15, 
2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 
airspace designation listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace Designations 
and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September 
15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as listed in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F lists Class 
A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and 
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 establishes Class E airspace, 
designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area, at 
Frank Wiley Field Airport, Miles City, MT. The FAA proposes to amend 
the VOR RWY 4 approach and the amendment will relocate the point where 
aircraft descend below 1,000 feet above the surface from ``3.35 miles'' 
to ``10.8 miles southwest of the airport.'' The additional Class E 
airspace will ensure the containment of IFR aircraft flying the 
approach.
    This action also removes the Class E airspace extending upward from 
1,200 feet above the surface. This airspace area is wholly contained 
with the Glasgow en route airspace and duplication is not necessary.
    Additionally, the action implements an administrative update to the 
Class E2 and E5 text headers. The city name should not appear in the 
second line of the text header, and the term ``Airport'' should be 
added. This line of text should be changed from ``Miles City, Frank 
Wiley Field, MT'' to ``Frank Wiley Field Airport, MT''.

    FAA Order JO 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

    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 the preparation of an 
environmental assessment.
