This document proposes to amend
FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace

dated August 10, 2021, and effective
September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO

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 6.6mile radius of Olney Municipal Airport,
Olney, TX; removing the Olney NDB
and associated extensions from the
airspace legal description; removing the
city associated with the airport in the
header of the airspace legal description
to comply with changes to FAA Order
JO 7400.2N, Procedures for Handling
Airspace Matters.
This action is the result of an airspace
review due to the decommissioning of
the Olney NDB which provided
guidance to instrument procedures at
this airport.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 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
designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in FAA
Order JO 7400.11.
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:38 Dec 16, 2021
Jkt 256001
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.
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.

AGENCY:
On November 15, 2021, the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) published a proposed rule which
included new source performance
standards (NSPS) and emissions
guidelines (EG) for the Crude Oil and
Natural Gas source category under the
CAA to respond to the President’s
January 20, 2021, Executive order (E.O.)
titled ‘‘Protecting Public Health and the
Environment and Restoring Science to
Tackle the Climate Crisis.’’ In this
proposal, the EPA also requested
comments on regulating other types of
potential emissions sources and
numerous topics associated with the
proposed NSPS and EG. EPA has
received numerous requests to extend
the comment period given the
complexity and length of the proposed
rulemaking, which is currently January
14, 2022. Accordingly, the EPA is
extending the deadline of the comment
period to January 31, 2022.
DATES: The public comment period for
the proposal published in the Federal
Register on November 15, 2021 (86 FR
63110) is extended from January 14,
2022 to January 31, 2022.Written

The Proposal
The FAA proposes an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to establish Class
E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a
6.3-mile radius of Falmouth Airpark, Falmouth, MA, providing the
controlled airspace required to support RNAV (GPS) standard instrument
approach procedures for IFR operations at this airport.
Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005 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 designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the FAA Order JO 7400.11.
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 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 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.
