and removing the city associated with
the airport in the header to comply with
changes to FAA Order JO 7400.2N,
Procedures for Handling Airspace
Matters;
Amending the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.6-mile
(decreased from a 7-mile) radius of
Mason County Airport, Ludington, MI;
removing the city associated with the
airport in the header to comply with
changes to FAA Order JO 7400.2N; and
updating the geographic coordinates of
the airport to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database;
And amending the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.6-mile
(decreased from a 7-mile) radius of
Manistee County/Blacker Airport,
Manistee, MI; removing the Manistee
VOR/DME and associated extensions
from the airspace legal description;
adding an extension 6.5 miles north and
5.3 miles south of the 091° bearing from
the Manistee County/Blacker Airport:
RWY 28–LOC extending from the 6.6mile radius of the airport to 16.5 miles
east of the Manistee County/Blacker
Airport: RWY 28–LOC; adding and
extension 2.2 miles each side of the 271°
bearing from the airport extending from
the 6.6-mile radius of the airport to 10
miles west of the airport; and updating
the airport name (previously Manistee
County—Blacker Airport) to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database.
This action is due to airspace reviews
conducted as part of the
decommissioning of the Manistee VOR,
which provided navigation information
for the instrument procedures at these
airports, as part of the VOR MON
Program.
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:26 Dec 23, 2021
Jkt 256001
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.

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

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 at Hallock
Municipal Airport, Hallock, MN, by
removing the extension to the southeast
of the airport as it is no longer needed.
This action is due to airspace reviews
conducted as part of the
decommissioning of the Humbolt VOR,
which provided navigation information
for the instrument procedures at these
airports, as part of the VOR MON
Program.
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
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.

Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177.
Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document proposes to amend 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 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 at
Hallock Municipal Airport, Hallock, MN, by removing the extension to
the southeast of the airport as it is no longer needed.
This action is due to airspace reviews conducted as part of the
decommissioning of the Humbolt VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures at these airports, as part of
the VOR MON Program.
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 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.
