Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

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 Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 by amending the Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Jim Hogg 

County Airport, Hebbronville, TX, by 

removing the Hebbronville NDB and 

associated extension from the airspace 

legal description; and removing the 

cities associated with the airports to 

comply with changes to FAA Order 

7400.2M, Procedures for Handling 

Airspace Matters. 

This action is the result of an airspace 

review due to the decommissioning of 

the Hebbronville NDB which provided 

navigation information for the 

instrument procedures at this airport. 

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. 

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 will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, would 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.

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

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

document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 by amending the Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface to within a 8.6- 

mile (increased from a 7.9-mile) radius 

of Wellsville Municipal Airport/ 

Tarantine Field, Wellsville, NY; 

removing the Wellsville VORTAC and 

associated extension from the airspace 

legal description; removing the HALOS 

NDB and extension east of the airport 

from the airspace legal description as 

they are no longer required; adding an 

extension 2 miles each side of the 269° 

bearing from the airport extending from 

the 8.6 mile radius to 8.9 miles west of 

the airport; updating the name 

(previously Wellsville Municipal/ 

Tarantine Field Airport, Wellsville, NY) 

and geographic coordinates of the 

airport to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database; and removing the 

city associated with the airport in the 

header of the airspace legal description 

to comply with changes to FAA Order 

7400.2M, Procedures for Handling 

Airspace Matters. 

This action is the result of airspace 

reviews caused by the decommissioning 

of the Wellsville VOR, which provided 

navigation information for the 

instrument procedures these airports, as 

part of the VOR MON Program. 

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes 

amending and updating its special local 

regulations for recurring marine 

parades, regattas, and other events that 

take place in the Coast Guard Sector 

Ohio Valley area of responsibility 

(AOR). This proposed notice would

special local with revisions, additions, 

and removals of events that no longer 

take place in the Sector Ohio Valley

proposed rulemaking.

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal 

Basis 

The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio 

Valley (COTP) proposes to update the 

current list of recurring special local 

regulations found in Table 1 of Title 33 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

section 100.801 for events occurring 

within the Sector Ohio Valley area of 

responsibility within the Coast Guard’s 

Eighth District. 

This proposed rule would update the 

list of annually recurring special local 

regulations under 33 CFR 100.801, 

Table 1, for annual special local 

regulations in the Sector Ohio Valley’s 

Area of Responsibillity (AOR). The 

Coast Guard will address all comments 

through response via the rulemaking 

process, including additional revisions 

to this regulatory section. Additionally, 

the public would be informed of these 

recurring events through local means 

and planned by the local communities. 

The current list of annual and 

recurring special local regulations 

occurring in Sector Ohio Valley’s AOR 

is published in 33 CFR 100.801, Table 

1 titled ‘‘Ohio Valley Annual and 

Reoccuring Marine Events.’’ The most 

recent list was created June 8, 2020 via 

85 FR 34994. 

The Coast Guard’s authority for 

establishing a special local regulation is 

contained in 46 U.S.C. 70041(a). The 

Coast Guard proposes to amend and 

update the special local regulations in 

33 CFR 100.801, Table 1, to include the 

most up to date list of recurring special 

local regulations for events held on or 

around the navigable waters within 

Sector Ohio Valley’s AOR. These events 

would include marine parades, boat 

races, swim events, and other marine 

related events. The current list under 33 

CFR 100.801, Table 1, requires 

amendment to provide new information 

on existing special local regulations, 

add new special local regulations 

expected to recur annually or 

biannually, and to remove special local 

regulations that no longer occur. Issuing 

individual regulations for each new 

special local regulation, amendment, or 

removal of an existing special local 

regulation creates unnecessary 

administrative costs and burdens. This 

single proposed rulemaking will 

considerably reduce administrative 

overhead and provide the public with 

notice through publication in the 

Federal Register of recurring special 

local regulations in the AOR. 

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

Part 100 of 33 CFR. contains 

regulations describing regattas and 

marine parades conducted on U.S. 

navigable waters in order to ensure the 

safety of life in the regulated areas. 

Section 100.801 provides the 

regulations applicable to events taking 

place in the Eighth Coast Guard District 

and also provides a table listing each 

event and special local regulations. This
