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 establishes 

Class E airspace at Hyde County 

Airport, Engelhard, NC, to support 

standard instrument approach 

procedures for IFR operations at this 

airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (83 FR 51903, October 15, 

2018) for Docket No. FAA–2018–0626 to 

establish Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Hyde County Airport, Engelhard, NC. 

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 E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.11C dated August 13, 2018, 

and effective September 15, 2018, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class E 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 

establishes Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 6.4-mile radius of Hyde County 

Airport, Engelhard, NC, providing the 

controlled airspace required to support 

the new RNAV (GPS) standard 

instrument approach procedures. These 

changes are necessary for continued 

safety and management of IFR 

operations at this airport. 

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. 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 5–6.5a. 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.

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 the 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 modifies the 

route structure to support the safe and 

efficient flow of air traffic within the 

National Airspace System. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register for Docket No. FAA–2018–0280 

(83 FR 16804; April 17, 2018), amending 

VOR Federal airways V–170 and V–219 

due to the planned decommissioning of 

the Fairmont, MN, VOR. Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this rulemaking effort by submitting 

written comments on the proposal. No 

comments were received. 

VOR Federal airways are published in 

paragraph 6010(a) 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 VOR Federal airways listed in 

this document would be subsequently 

published 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 

The FAA is amending Title 14 Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

by modifying VOR Federal airways 

V–170 and V–219. The planned 

decommissioning of the Fairmont, MN, 

VOR has made these actions necessary. 

The VOR Federal airway changes are 

outlined below. 

V–170: V–170 extends between the 

Devils Lake, ND, VOR/DME and the 

Salem, MI VORTAC; and between the 

Bradford, PA, VOR/DME and the 

intersection of the Andrews 060° and 

Baltimore, MD, 165° radials (POLLA 

fix); excluding the airspace within 

R–5802 when active. The airway 

segment between the Worthington, MN, 

VOR/DME and the Rochester, MN, 

VOR/DME is removed. The unaffected 

portions of the existing airway remain 

as charted. 

V–219: V–219 extends between the 

Hayes Center, NE, VORTAC and the 

Mankato, MN, VOR/DME. The airway 

segment between the Sioux City, IA, 

VORTAC and the Mankato, MN, VOR/ 

DME is removed. The unaffected 

portions of the existing airway remain 

as charted. 

All radials in the route descriptions 

below are unchanged and stated in True 

degrees. 

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. It, therefore: (1) Is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
