Shelbyville, IN, VOR/Distance 

Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME); and 

between the Allegheny, PA, VOR/DME 

and the Pottstown, PA, VORTAC. The 

airway segment between the Mitbee, 

OK, VORTAC and the Wichita, KS, 

VORTAC is removed. Additionally, the 

Amarillo, TX, VOR listed in the airway 

description is corrected to reflect the 

Panhandle, TX, VORTAC. The 

unaffected portions of the existing 

airway remain as charted. 

V–74: V–74 extends between the 

Garden City, KS, VORTAC and the 

Magnolia, MS, VORTAC. The airway 

segment between the Dodge City, KS, 

VORTAC and the Pioneer, OK, VORTAC 

is removed. The unaffected portions of 

the existing airway remain as charted. 

V–516: V–516 extends between the 

Liberal, KS, VORTAC and the Oswego, 

KS, VOR/DME. The airway segment 

between the Liberal, KS, VORTAC and 

the Pioneer, OK, VORTAC is removed. 

The unaffected portion of the existing 

airway remains as charted. 

All radials listed in the VOR Federal 

airway 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 

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a 

‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (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 of modifying VOR Federal 

airways V–12, V–74, and V–516, due to 

the planned decommissioning of the 

VOR portion of the Anthony, KS, 

VORTAC NAVAID, qualifies for 

categorical exclusion under the National 

Environmental Policy Act and its 

implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 

1500, and in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5– 

6.5a, which categorically excludes from 

further environmental impact review 

rulemaking actions that designate or 

modify classes of airspace areas, 

airways, routes, and reporting points 

(see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of 

Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; 

Air Traffic Service Routes; and 

Reporting Points). As such, this action 

is not expected to result in any 

potentially significant environmental 

impacts. In accordance with FAA Order 

1050.1F, paragraph 5–2 regarding 

Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA 

has reviewed this action for factors and 

circumstances in which a normally 

categorically excluded action may have 

a significant environmental impact 

requiring further analysis. The FAA has 

determined that no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment or environmental impact 

study.

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 airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Greater 

Kankakee Airport, Kankakee, IL, to 

support instrument flight rule 

operations at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (85 FR 71586; November 10, 

2020) for Docket No. FAA–2020–0879 to 

amend the Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Greater Kankakee Airport, Kankakee, 

IL. 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 6.6-mile (decreased from a 

7-mile) radius of Greater Kankakee 

Airport, Kankakee, IL; removes the 

Kankakee VOR/DME and associated 

extensions from the airspace legal 

description; and amends the southwest 

extension to 4 (increased from 2) miles 

each side of the 214° (previously 218°) 

bearing from the Greater Kankakee: 

RWY 04–LOC (previously the airport) 

extending from the 6.6-mile (decreased 

from 7-mile) radius to 16.8 (increased 

from 16.6) miles southwest of the 

airport; and removing 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 Kankakee VOR, which provided 

navigation information for the 

instrument procedures 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 

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.
