Amendment of Class E Airspace; Greenville and Vandalia, IL, 14005-14007 [2024-03833]

operations below 1,500 feet above the
surface on the RNAV (GPS) RWY 31
approach.
In addition, the FAA is proposing to
extend the Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
northwest to include that airspace
within 2 miles on either side of the
airport’s 322° bearing extending from
the 6.5-mile radius to 9.6 miles
northwest of the airport. This would
contain arriving IFR operations below
1,500 feet above the surface while
executing the RNAV (GPS) RWY 13
approach.
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.

This action proposes to
amend the Class E airspace at
Greenville, IL, and Vandalia, IL. The
FAA is proposing this action as the
result of airspace reviews conducted
due to the decommissioning of the
Vandalia very high frequency
omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of
the VOR Minimum Operating Network
(MON) Program. The geographic
coordinates of the airports would also
be updated to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database. This action will
bring the airspace into compliance with
FAA orders to support instrument flight
rule (IFR) operations.

The Proposal
The FAA is proposing to amend 14
CFR part 71 by:
Modifying the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.4-mile
(decreased from a 7-mile) radius of
Greenville Airport, Greenville, IL; and
updating the geographic coordinates of
the airport to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database;
And modifying the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Vandalia Municipal
Airport, Vandalia, IL, by updating the
geographic coordinates of the airport to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database.
The FAA is proposing this action as
the result of airspace reviews conducted
due to the decommissioning of the
Vandalia VOR as part of the VOR MON
Program and to support IFR operations.
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

preparation of a regulatory evaluation as
the anticipated impact is so minimal.

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
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Greenville
Airport, Greenville, IL, and Vandalia Municipal Airport, Vandalia, IL,
to support IFR operations at these airports.
Comments Invited
The FAA invites interested persons to participate in this
rulemaking by submitting written comments, data, or views. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal. The most
helpful comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain
the reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. To
ensure the docket does not contain duplicate comments, commenters
should submit only one time if comments are filed electronically, or
commenters should send only one copy of written comments if comments

after the comment period has closed if it is possible to do so without
incurring expense or delay. The FAA may change this proposal in light
of the comments it receives.

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This
document proposes to amend the current version of that order, FAA Order
JO 7400.11H, dated August 11, 2023, and effective September 15, 2023.
These updates would be published subsequently in the next update to FAA
Order JO 7400.11. That order is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document.
FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing to amend 14 CFR part 71 by:
Modifying the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.4-mile (decreased from a 7-mile) radius of
Greenville Airport, Greenville, IL; and updating the geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical
database;
And modifying the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Vandalia Municipal Airport, Vandalia, IL, by
updating the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the
FAA's aeronautical database.
The FAA is proposing this action as the result of airspace reviews
conducted due to the decommissioning of the Vandalia VOR as part of the
VOR MON Program and to support IFR operations.
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.
