Proposed Amendment of Class E 

Airspace, Augusta, GA, and Proposed 

Establishment of Class E Airspace, 

Waynesboro, GA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

in Augusta, GA, by recognizing the 

name change of Augusta Regional 

Airport at Bush Field (formerly Augusta 

Regional at Bush Field Airport); 

removing Burke County Airport and 

Millen Airport from the airspace 

designation and establishing these two 

airports under Waynesboro, GA, 

designation; and updating the 

geographic coordinates of Daniel Field, 

Augusta, GA, and Millen Airport, 

Waynesboro, GA. This action would 

accommodate airspace reconfiguration 

due to the decommissioning of the 

Millen non-directional radio beacon 

(NDB) and cancellation of the NDB 

approach at Millen Airport. Controlled 

airspace is necessary for the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

(IFR) operations at these airports.

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 would 

amend Class E airspace at Augusta 

Regional Airport at Bush Field, Augusta, 

GA, and establish Class E airspace at 

Burke County Airport and Millen 

Airport, Waynesboro, GA, to support 

IFR operations at these airports. 

Comments Invited 

Interested persons are invited to 

comment on this proposed rulemaking 

by submitting such written data, views,

supporting the views and suggestions 

presented are particularly helpful in 

developing reasoned regulatory 

decisions on the proposal. Comments 

are specifically invited on the overall 

regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 

environmental, and energy-related 

aspects of the proposal. 

Communications should identify both 

docket numbers (Docket No. FAA– 

2018–0369 and Airspace Docket No. 18–

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 3, 2017, and effective 

September 15, 2017. FAA Order 

7400.11B is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists 

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

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Proposal 

The FAA proposes an amendment to 

Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 to amend Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet or more above the surface at 

Augusta Regional Airport at Bush Field, 

Augusta, GA, by updating the airport 

name (formerly Augusta Regional at 

Bush Field Airport); amending the 

geographic coordinates of Daniel Field 

to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database; and by removing Burke 

County Airport and Millen Airport from 

the Augusta, GA designation and reestablishing these two airports under 

Waynesboro, GA designation due to the 

decommissioning of the Millen NDB, 

and cancellation of the NDB approach. 

Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface would 

be established at Burke County Airport, 

Waynesboro, GA within a 6.7-mile (from 

a 6.6-mile) radius of the airport. 

Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface would 

be established at Millen airport within 

a 7.4-mile (from a 7.3-mile) radius of the 

airport. The geographic coordinates 

would be adjusted to be in concert with 

the FAA’s aeronautical database. 

The changes would enhance the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations at these airports. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraph 6005, of FAA 

Order 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, 

and effective September 15, 2017, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed 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 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 

proposed rule, when promulgated, will 

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.
