FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11G 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 Carrington Municipal Airport, Carrington, ND, by removing the Devils Lake VOR/DME and the airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface from the airspace legal description as it is redundant with the airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface over the State of North Dakota; Amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 6.3-mile (decreased from a 6.4-mile) radius of Cooperstown Municipal Airport, Cooperstown, ND; and removing the Devils Lake VOR/DME, Hector International Airport, Grand Forks AFB, Jamestown VOR/DME, Barnes City Municipal Airport, and the airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface from the airspace legal description as it is redundant with the airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface over the State of North Dakota; Amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Harvey Municipal Airport, Harvey, ND, by removing Minot AFB, Bismarck VOR/DME, Devils Lake VOR/ DME, and the airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface from the airspace legal description as it is redundant with the airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface over the State of North Dakota; Amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 6.4-mile (decreased from a 7.3-mile) radius of Rolla Municipal Airport/Leonard Krech Field, Rolla, ND; removing the exclusion north of lat. 49°00′00″ N as it is no longer required; removing the Devils Lake VOR/DME and the airspace VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:46 Nov 03, 2022 Jkt 259001 extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface from the airspace legal description as it is redundant with the airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface over the State of North Dakota; and updating the name of the airport (previously Rolla Municipal Airport) to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database; And amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Walhalla Municipal Airport, Walhalla, ND, by removing the Devils Lake VOR/DME and the airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface from the airspace legal description as it is redundant with the airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface over the State of North Dakota. This action is due to airspace reviews conducted as part of the decommissioning of the Devils Lake 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 7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 15, 2022, 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.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace 
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 19, 2022, and effective 
September 15, 2022. FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available as 
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11G 
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 Carrington Municipal Airport, Carrington, ND, by 
removing the Devils Lake VOR/DME and the airspace extending upward from 
1,200 feet above the surface from the airspace legal description as it 
is redundant with the airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above 
the surface over the State of North Dakota;
    Amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface to within a 6.3-mile (decreased from a 6.4-mile) radius of 
Cooperstown Municipal Airport, Cooperstown, ND; and removing the Devils 
Lake VOR/DME, Hector International Airport, Grand Forks AFB, Jamestown 
VOR/DME, Barnes City Municipal Airport, and the airspace extending 
upward from 1,200 feet above the surface from the airspace legal 
description as it is redundant with the airspace extending upward from 
1,200 feet above the surface over the State of North Dakota;
    Amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface at Harvey Municipal Airport, Harvey, ND, by removing Minot 
AFB, Bismarck VOR/DME, Devils Lake VOR/DME, and the airspace extending 
upward from 1,200 feet above the surface from the airspace legal 
description as it is redundant with the airspace extending upward from 
1,200 feet above the surface over the State of North Dakota;
    Amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface to within a 6.4-mile (decreased from a 7.3-mile) radius of 
Rolla Municipal Airport/Leonard Krech Field, Rolla, ND; removing the 
exclusion north of lat. 49[deg]00'00'' N as it is no longer required; 
removing the Devils Lake VOR/DME and the airspace extending upward from 
1,200 feet above the surface from the airspace legal description as it 
is redundant with the airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above 
the surface over the State of North Dakota; and updating the name of 
the airport (previously Rolla Municipal Airport) to coincide with the 
FAA's aeronautical database;
    And amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface at Walhalla Municipal Airport, Walhalla, ND, by 
removing the Devils Lake VOR/DME and the airspace extending upward from 
1,200 feet above the surface from the airspace legal description as it 
is redundant with the airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above 
the surface over the State of North Dakota.
    This action is due to airspace reviews conducted as part of the 
decommissioning of the Devils Lake 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 7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 
15, 2022, 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
