Amendment of Class D Airspace; 

Appleton, WI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class D 

airspace at Appleton International 

Airport (formerly Outagamie County 

Airport), Appleton, WI. This action is 

required due to the decommissioning of 

the GAMIE locator outer marker (LOM) 

and collocated outer marker (OM) 

which provided navigation guidance to 

the airport. This action enhances the 

safety and management of instrument 

flight rules (IFR) operations at the 

airport. Also, the airport name and 

geographic coordinates are adjusted to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. Additionally, this action 

replaces the outdated term ‘‘Airport/ 

Facility Directory’’ with the term ‘‘Chart 

Supplement’’ in the legal description, 

and removes the city associated with the 

airport name in the airspace 

designation. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 28, 

2019. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under Title 1 Code of 

Federal Regulations part 51, subject to 

the annual revision of FAA Order 

7400.11 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

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 amends 

Class D airspace at Appleton 

International Airport, Appleton, WI, to 

support instrument flight rules (IFR) 

operations at the airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the 

Federal Register (83 FR 11445; March 

15, 2018) for Docket No. FAA–2018– 

0006 to modify Class D airspace at 

Appleton International Airport, 

Appleton, WI. Interested parties were 

invited to participate in this rulemaking 

effort by submitting written comments 

on the proposal to the FAA. No 

comments were received. 

Class D airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 5000 of FAA 

Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018, 

and effective September 15, 2018, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.11C, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 13, 

2018, and effective September 15, 2018. 

FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly 

available as listed in the ADDRESSES

section of this document. FAA Order 

7400.11C lists Class A, B, C, D, and E 

airspace areas, air traffic service routes, 

and reporting points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

modifies Class D airspace extending 

upward from the surface to and 

including 3,400 feet MSL within a 4.2- 

mile radius (decreased from a 4.4-mile 

radius) of Appleton International 

Airport (formerly Outagamie County 

Airport), Appleton, WI. Airspace 

reconfiguration is necessary due to the 

decommissioning of the GAMIE LOM/ 

OM. 

This action also updates the airport 

name and geographic coordinates of the 

airport to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. 

Additionally, this action makes an 

editorial change to the Class D airspace 

legal description replacing ‘‘Airport/ 

Facility Directory’’ with the term ‘‘Chart 

Supplement’’. 

Finally, an editorial removes the 

name of the city associated with the 

airport name in the airspace designation 

to comply with a recent change to FAA 

Order 7400.2L, Procedures for Handling 

Airspace Actions, dated October 12, 

2017. 

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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

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 5–6.5.a. This airspace action 

is not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
