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.

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

airspace and Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Smyrna Airport, Smyrna, TN. An 

evaluation of airspace in the area 

determined that this airport required an 

adjustment of Class D and E airspaces. 

Controlled airspace is necessary for the 

safety and management of instrument 

flight rules (IFR) operations in the area. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, August 12, 

2021. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 34 / Tuesday, February 23, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 10813 

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 and Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Smyrna Airport, Smyrna, 

TN, to support IFR operations in the 

area. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of prosed 

rulemaking in the Federal Register (85 

FR 73436, November 18, 2020) for 

Docket No. FAA–2020–0889 to amend 

Class D airspace for Smyrna, TN, as the 

FAA has determined that extensions of 

1.2 miles each side of the 142° bearing 

from the airport, extending from the 3.9- 

mile radius to 5.5 miles southeast of the 

airport, and within 1.2 miles each side 

of the 184° bearing from the airport, 

extending from the 3.9-mile radius to 

5.5 miles south of the airport are 

necessary for the safety of IFR aircraft 

landing at Smyrna Airport. Also, the 

Class D ceiling is reduced from 3,000 

feet to 2,500 feet as per the request of 

the air traffic facilities involved. In 

addition, the FAA proposed to update 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface by increasing 

the airport radius from 9 miles to 11.5 

miles. The FAA also proposed the 

reference to Nashville Class C in the 

Class D description be removed as it is 

not necessary (7400.11, 1003.b). 

Finally, subsequent to publication of 

the proposal the FAA found the 

southern Class D extension was 

incorrectly identified as the 181° 

bearing. This action corrects the 

extension to read 184° bearing. 

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 and Class E airspace 

designations are published in Paragraph 

5000, 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 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 routes, and reporting points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

amends Class D airspace for Smyrna, 

TN, as the FAA has determined that 

extensions of 1.2 miles each side of the 

142° bearing from the airport, extending 

from the 3.9-mile radius to 5.5 miles 

southeast of the airport, and within 1.2 

miles each side of the 184° bearing from 

the airport, extending from the 3.9-mile 

radius to 5.5 miles south of the airport 

are necessary for the safety of IFR 

aircraft landing at Smyrna Airport. Also, 

the Class D ceiling is reduced from 

3,000 feet to 2,500 feet as per the request 

of the air traffic facilities involved. In 

addition, the FAA updates Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface by increasing the 

airport radius from 9 miles to 11.5 

miles. Also, the reference to Nashville 

Class C, in the Class D description, is 

removed as it is not necessary (7400.11, 

1003.b). 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. It, therefore: (1) Is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a

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 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 surface airspace and the Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Bradford 

Regional Airport, Bradford, PA, to 

support instrument flight rule 

operations at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (85 FR 74302; November 20, 

2020) for Docket No. FAA–2020–1015 to 

amend the Class E airspace at Bradford 

Regional Airport, Bradford, PA. 

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 14 CFR part 71: 

Amends the Class E surface area 

airspace to within a 4.1-mile (decreased 

from a 4.3-mile) radius of Bradford 

Regional Airport, Bradford, PA; removes 

the Bradford VORTAC and the 

associated extension from the airspace 

legal description; adds an extension to 

1 mile each side of the 134° bearing 

from the airport extending from the 4.1- 

mile radius of the airport to 4.2 miles 

southeast of the airport; and replaces the 

outdated term ‘‘Airport/Facility 

Directory’’ with ‘‘Chart Supplement’’; 

And amends the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface to within a 6.6-mile 

(increased from a 6.5-mile) radius of 

Bradford Regional Airport; removes the 

Bradford VORTAC and the associated 

extension from the airspace legal 

description; removes the BRAFO LOM 

and the associated extension from the 

airspace legal description; and removes 

the city associated with the airport to 

comply with changes to FAA Order 

7400.2M, Procedures for Handling 

Airspace Matters. 

This action is the result of an airspace 

review caused by the decommissioning 

of the Bradford VOR, which provided 

navigation information for the 

instrument procedures at this airport, as 

part of the VOR MON Program. 

FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on 

September 15. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

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
