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.

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 Gratiot 

Community Airport, Alma, MI; Antrim 

County Airport, Bellaire, MI; Wexford 

County Airport, Cadillac, MI; 

Drummond Island Airport, Drummond 

Island, MI; Charles C. Zettel Memorial 

Airport, Gladwin, MI; Park Township

Availability and Summary of 

Documents Proposed for Incorporation 

by Reference 

This document would amend FAA 

Order 7400.9Z, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 

2015, and effective September 15, 2015. 

FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available 

as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.9Z 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 modifying Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at the following 

airports: 

Within a 6.5-mile radius of Gratiot 

Community Airport, Alma, MI; 

Within a 6.5-mile radius of Antrim 

County Airport, Bellaire, MI, with a 

segment extending from the 6.5-mile 

radius to 6.9 miles south of the airport; 

Within a 6.7-mile radius of Wexford 

County Airport, Cadillac, MI; 

Within a 6.5-mile radius of 

Drummond Island Airport, Drummond 

Island, MI, with a segment extending 

from the 6.5-mile radius to 8.5 miles 

east of the airport; 

Within a 6.5-mile radius of Charles C. 

Zettel Memorial Airport, Gladwin, MI; 

Within a 6.5-mile radius of West 

Michigan Regional Airport (formerly 

Tulip City Airport), Holland, MI; Park 

Township Airport would be removed as 

it no longer has instrument procedures 

and no longer requires Class E airspace; 

and 

Within a 6.4 mile radius of Three 

Rivers Municipal Dr. Haines Airport, 

Three Rivers, MI, and updating the 

geographic coordinates of this airport to 

coincide with the FAAs aeronautical 

database. These airspace 

reconfigurations are necessary due to 

the decommissioning of NDBs, 

cancellation of NDB approaches, or 

implementation of RNAV procedures at 

the above airports. Controlled airspace 

is necessary for the safety and 

management of the standard instrument 

approach procedures for IFR operations 

at the airports. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015, 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. 

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.
