SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class
E airspace designated as a surface area,
modifies the Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface,
and removes the Class E airspace
extending upward from 1,200 feet above

makes several administrative
modifications to update the airport’s
existing Class E airspace legal
descriptions. These actions will support
the safety and management of
instrument flight rule (IFR) operations at
the airport.

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 would
modify the Class E airspace at Colorado
Plains Regional Airport, CO, to support
IFR operations at the airport.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the
Federal Register for FAA–2022–0711
(87 FR 45723; July 29, 2022) to modify
the Class E airspace designated as a
surface area, modify the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface, remove the Class E airspace
extending upward from 1,200 feet above
the surface, and make administrative
changes to the Class E legal
descriptions. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments
on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
Subsequent to publication of the
NPRM in the Federal Register, the FAA
identified a discrepancy with the
proposed Class E2 legal description. The
airport name is removed from the
description, as it is in the second line
of the header and duplication is not
necessary.

Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
FAA Order JO 7400.11 is published
annually and becomes effective on
September 15.
Paragraph 6002 Class E Airspace Areas
Designated as a Surface Area.
This document amends 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.
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.

Colorado Plains Regional Airport, CO
(Lat. 40°10′32″ N, long. 103°13′19″ W)
That airspace extending upward from the
surface within a 4.6-mile radius of the
airport.
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.
[FR Doc. 2022–25106 Filed 11–17–22; 8:45 am]
The Rule
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
69165
The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71
by modifying the Class E airspace
designated as a surface area, modifying
the Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface, and
removing the Class E airspace extending
upward from 1,200 feet above the
surface at Colorado Plains Regional
Airport, CO.
The Class E airspace designated as a
surface area is expanded to a 4.6-mile
radius around the airport to more
appropriately contain circling
maneuvers.
Additionally, the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface is expanded to the southeast
to contain aircraft conducting procedure
turns for the VOR RWY 29 approach, as
terrain exists within 1,500 feet of the
minimum procedure turn altitude.
This action also removes the Class E
airspace extending upward from 1,200
feet above the surface at the airport.
This area is already contained within
the Denver en route domestic airspace
area and duplication is not necessary.
Finally, this action makes several
administrative modifications to the
airport’s legal descriptions. The airport
name in the text header was incorrect in
the existing Class E2 and E5 legal
descriptions. They now read ‘‘Colorado
Plains Regional Airport, CO.’’ The
geographic coordinates for the airport
are updated to match the FAA’s
database. Lastly, the navigational aid
(NAVAID) used in the existing Class E2
legal description is removed. The
NAVAID has been reclassified and is
not needed to describe the airspace. Its
removal simplifies the airspace
description.
Class E2 and E5 airspace designations
are published in paragraphs 6002 and
6005, respectively, of FAA Order JO
7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and
became 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.
