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 E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Billy Free 

Municipal Airport, Dumas, AR, to 

support instrument flight rule 

operations at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (85 FR 73655, November 19, 

2020) for Docket No. FAA–2020–1016 to 

amend Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Billy Free Municipal Airport, Dumas, 

AR, by removing the Monticello VOR 

and associated extension from the 

airspace legal description; and removing 

the city associated with the airport to 

comply with changes to FAA Order 

7400.2M, Procedures for Handling 

Airspace Matters. 

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 routes, and reporting points. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71 

by modifying the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Billy Free Municipal 

Airport, Dumas, AR, by removing the 

Monticello VOR and associated 

extension from the airspace legal 

description; and removing the city 

associated with the airport to comply 

with changes to FAA Order 7400.2M, 

Procedures for Handling Airspace 

Matters. These changes are necessary for 

continued safety and management of 

IFR operations in the area. 

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 

‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

10804 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 34 / Tuesday, February 23, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that only affects air traffic 

procedures an 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.

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of the airspace necessary to ensure the

to preserve the safe and efficient flow of 

air traffic within the National Airspace 

System. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 

FAA–2020–0003 in the Federal Register 

(85 FR 3290; January 21, 2020), 

amending VOR Federal airways V–12, 

V–74, and V–516 in the vicinity of 

Anthony, KS, due to the planned 

decommissioning of the VOR portion of 

the Anthony, KS, VORTAC. 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 

7400.11E dated July 21, 2020, and 

effective September 15, 2020, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on 

September 15. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71 

by modifying VOR Federal airways V– 

12, V–74, and V–516. The planned 

decommissioning of the VOR portion of 

the Anthony, KS, VORTAC NAVAID 

has made this action necessary. The 

VOR Federal airway changes are 

outlined below. 

V–12: V–12 extends between the 

Gaviota, CA, VORTAC and the
