80596 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 240 / Monday, December 14, 2020 / Rules and Regulations 

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 the 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Coffey 

County Airport, Burlington, KS, to 

support instrument flight rule 

operations at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (85 FR 53306; August 28, 2020) 

for Docket No. FAA–2020–0666 to 

amend the Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Coffey County Airport, Burlington, 

KS. 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 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, 

and effective September 15, 2020, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

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 

7400.11E, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, 

and effective September 15, 2020. FAA 

Order 7400.11E is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11E 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 

amends the Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to within a 6.5-mile radius of Coffey 

County Airport, Burlington, KS; and 

removes the Boyd NDB and the 

associated extensions from the airspace 

legal description. 

This action is the result of an airspace 

review caused by the decommissioning 

of the Boyd NDB, which provided 

navigation information for the 

instrument procedures at this airport. 

FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on 

September 15. 

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.

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 modifies 

Class D and Class E airspace at Glacier 

Park International Airport, Kalispell, 

MT, to ensure the safety and 

management of Instrument Flight Rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (85 FR 62630, October 5, 2020) 

for Docket No. FAA–2020–0825 to 

modify Class D and Class E airspace at 

Glacier Park International Airport, 

Kalispell, MT. Interested parties were 

invited to participate in this rulemaking 

effort by submitting written comments 

on the proposal to the FAA. Two 

comments were received. The 

comments were not germane to the 

proposed airspace action. 

Class D, E2, and E5 airspace 

designations are published in 

paragraphs 5000, 6002, and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11E, 

dated July 21, 2020, and effective 

September 15, 2020, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace 

designation 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 

7400.11E, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, 

and effective September 15, 2020. FAA 

Order 7400.11E is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11E 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 part 71 modifies 

Class D airspace at Glacier Park 

International Airport, Kalispell, MT. To 

properly contain IFR aircraft, this action 

adds an extension to the airspace, 

northeast of the airport. This airspace 

area is described as follows: That 

airspace extending upward from the 

surface to and including 5,500 feet MSL 

within a 4.3-mile radius of the airport, 

and within 1.2 miles each side of the 

032° bearing from the airport, extending 

from the 4.3-mile radius to 5.6 miles 

northeast of Glacier Park International 

Airport. This Class D airspace area is 

effective during the specific dates and 

times established, in advance, by a 

Notice to Airmen. The effective date and 

time will thereafter be continuously 

published in the Chart Supplement. 

This action also modifies the Class E 

airspace, designated as a surface area, to 

be coincident with the new Class D 

dimensions. This airspace area is parttime and this action adds the 

appropriate verbiage to the airspace 

legal description. This airspace area is 

described as follows: That airspace 

extending upward from the surface 

within a 4.3-mile radius of the airport, 

and within 1.2 miles each side of the 

032° bearing from the airport, extending 

from the 4.3-mile radius to 5.6 miles 

northeast of Glacier Park International 

Airport. This Class E airspace area is 

effective during the specific dates and 

times established, in advance, by a 

Notice to Airmen. The effective date and 

time will thereafter be continuously 

published in the Chart Supplement. 

Additionally, this action modifies the 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface. The action 

properly sizes the airspace to contain 

IFR departures to 1,200 feet above the 

surface and IFR arrivals descending 

below 1,500 feet above the surface. This 

airspace area is described as follows: 

That airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface within a 7.5- 

mile radius of the airport, and within 

2.3 miles each side of the 138° bearing 

from the airport, extending from the 7.5- 

mile radius to 13.4 miles southeast of 

the airport, and within 2 miles each side 

of the 215° bearing from the airport, 

extending from the 7.5-mile radius to 

19.5 miles southwest of Glacier Park 

International Airport. 

This action also modifies the Class E 

airspace extending upward from 1,200 

feet above the surface. This area is 

designed to contain IFR aircraft 

transitioning to/from the terminal and 

en route environments. This airspace 

area is described as follows: That 

airspace extending upward from 1,200 

feet above the surface within a 25-mile 

radius of the airport beginning at the 

270° bearing from the airport, clockwise 

to the 090° bearing from the airport, 

thence along the 090° bearing to 45 

miles east of the airport, thence within 

a 45-mile radius of the airport clockwise 

to the 270° bearing from the airport, 

thence along the 270° bearing to the 

point of beginning, 25 miles west of 

Glacier Park International Airport. 

This action removes the Smith Lake 

NDB and all references to the NDB from 

the Class E2 and Class E5 text headers 

and the airspace legal descriptions. The 

navigational aid is not needed to define 

the airspace. Removal of the 

navigational aid allows the airspace to 

be defined from a single reference point 

which simplifies how the airspace is 

described. 

Lastly, this action implements several 

administrative corrections to the 

airspaces’ legal descriptions. In the 

Class D legal description, the last 

sentence contains the term ‘‘Airport/ 

Facilities Directory’’ this action updates 

the term to ‘‘Chart Supplement’’. This 

action removes the city name from the 

second line of the Class D, Class E2, and 

Class E5 text headers. The airport’s 

geographic coordinates do not match the 

FAA database; this action updates the 

geographic coordinates in all of the 

airspace areas to ‘‘lat. 48°18′38′′ N, long. 

114°15′22′′ W’’. 

FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on 

September 15.
