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 amend the Class E surface airspace and the Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Altoona/Blair 
County Airport, Altoona, PA, to support instrument flight rule 
operations at this airport.

Incorporation by Reference

    Class E airspace is published in paragraphs 6002 and 6005 of FAA 
Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This 
document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace Designations 
and Reporting Points, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 
15, 2022. These updates would be published subsequently in the next 
update to FAA Order JO 7400.11. 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 surface airspace to within a 9.3-mile 
(increased from a 4.7-mile) radius of Altoona/Blair County Airport, 
Altoona, PA; removing the extension northeast of the airport as it is 
no longer required; and updating the name (previously Altoona-Blair 
County Airport) 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 an 11.8-mile (increased from an 11.2-mile) 
radius of Altoona/Blair County Airport; adding an extension 2 miles 
each side of the 196[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the 
11.8-mile radius to 12 miles south of the airport; and updating the 
name (previously Altoona-Blair County Airport) of the airport to 
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the 
decommissioning of the Revloc VOR, which provided navigation 
information for the instrument procedures at this airport, as part of 
the VOR MON Program and will support instrument flight rule operations 
at this airport.

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.
