Federal Aviation Administration August 24, 2022 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval of a substantive change to multiple previously approved information collections. The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018, section 546, requires the implementation of systems allowing a member of the public to submit any information or form to the Registry and conduct any transaction with the Registry by electronic or other remote means. In response to this requirement, the FAA created Civil Aviation Registry Electronic Services (CARES) and intends to change its current information collection to accommodate electronic registry applications.

This rule amends, suspends, or removes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

This action amends the Class D airspace at Fort Worth, TX, and the Class E airspace at Dallas-Fort Worth, TX. This action is the result of an airspace review due to the cancellation of the instrument procedures and implementation of new instrument procedures at Granbury Regional Airport, Granbury, TX, contained within the Dallas-Fort Worth, TX, Class E airspace legal description. The geographic coordinates of Fort Worth Spinks Airport, Fort Worth, TX, are also being updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

This action modifies the Class E airspace, designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area, at Camarillo Airport, Camarillo, CA. This action also removes the Camarillo very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR)/distance measuring equipment (DME) from the airspace's legal description. Additionally, this action establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface. Lastly, this action makes administrative changes to the Class D and Class E legal descriptions. These actions would ensure the safety and management of visual flight rules (VFR) and instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.
