with the FAA’s aeronautical database;
updating the name (previously
Bloomington/Normal Airport) and
geographic coordinates of the airport to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database; and updating the outdated
terms ‘‘Notice to Airmen’’ to ‘‘Notice to
Air Missions’’ and ‘‘Airport/Facility
Directory’’ to ‘‘Chart Supplement’’;
And amending the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.9-mile
(decreased from a 7.3-mile) radius of
Central Illinois Regional/BloomingtonNormal Airport; updating the header of
the airspace legal description from
‘‘Bloomington, IL’’ to ‘‘Bloomington/
Normal, IL’’ to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database; and updating the
name (previously Central Illinois
Regional Airport at BloomingtonNormal) and geographic coordinates of
the airport to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database.
This action is the result of an airspace
review conducted as part of the
decommissioning of the Bloomington
VOR, which provided navigational
information to this airport, as part of the
VOR MON Program.
Class D and E airspace designations
are published in paragraphs 5000 and
6005, respectively, 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 D and E airspace
designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in FAA
Order JO 7400.11.
FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace

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

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 Sulphur
Springs Municipal Airport, Sulphur
Springs, TX, by removing the Brashear
radio beacon (RBN) and associated
airspace extension as they are no longer
needed; and adding an extension 2
miles each side of the 190° bearing from
the airport extending from the 6.5-mile
radius of the airport to 9.4 miles south
of the airport.
This action is the result of an airspace
review conducted as part of the
decommissioning of the Sulphur
Springs VOR, which provided
navigation information to the
instrument procedures to this airport, 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

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

does not warrant preparation of a

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 action is the result of an airspace review conducted as part
of the decommissioning of the Sulphur Springs VOR, which provided
navigation information to the instrument procedures to this airport, 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

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.
