Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Ottumwa, IA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend the Class E airspace at Ottumwa, 

IA. The FAA is proposing this action as 

the result of an airspace review 

conducted due to the decommissioning 

of the Ottumwa very high frequency 

omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of 

the VOR Minimum Operational 

Network (MON) Program. This action 

would also update the name and 

geographic coordinates of the airport to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. This action will bring the 

airspace into compliance with FAA 

orders and support instrument flight 

rule (IFR) procedures and operations.

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 the Class E surface area and 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Ottumwa 

Regional Airport, Ottumwa, IA, to 

support IFR operations at this airport. 

Comments Invited 

The FAA invites interested persons to 

participate in this rulemaking by 

submitting written comments, data, or 

views. Comments are specifically 

invited on the overall regulatory, 

aeronautical, economic, environmental, 

and energy-related aspects of the 

proposal. The most helpful comments 

reference a specific portion of the 

proposal, explain the reason for any 

recommended change, and include 

supporting data. To ensure the docket 

does not contain duplicate comments, 

commenters should submit only one 

time if comments are filed 

electronically, or commenters should 

send only one copy of written 

comments if comments are filed in 

writing. 

The FAA will file in the docket all 

comments it receives, as well as a report 

summarizing each substantive public 

contact with FAA personnel concerning 

this proposed rulemaking. Before acting 

on this proposal, the FAA will consider 

all comments it received on or before 

the closing date for comments. The FAA 

will consider comments filed after the 

comment period has closed if it is 

possible to do so without incurring 

expense or delay. The FAA may change 

this proposal in light of the comments 

it receives. 

Privacy: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 

553(c), DOT solicits comments from the 

public to better inform its rulemaking 

process. DOT post these comments, 

without edit, including any personal 

information the commenter provides, to 

www.regulations.gov as described in the 

system of records notice (DOT/ALL– 

14FDMS), which can be reviewed at

Incorporation by Reference 

Class E airspace is published in 

paragraphs 6002 and 6005 of FAA Order 

JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, which is incorporated 

by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an 

annual basis. This document proposes 

to amend the current version of that 

order, FAA Order JO 7400.11J, dated 

July 31, 2024, and effective September 

15, 2024. These updates would be 

published subsequently in the next 

update to FAA Order JO 7400.11. That 

order is publicly available as listed in 

the ADDRESSES section of this document. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11J 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 14 CFR part 71 by: 

Modifying the Class E surface area at 

Ottumwa Regional Airport, Ottumwa, 

IA, by removing the Ottumwa VOR/ 

DME and associated extension from the 

airspace legal description; and updating 

the name (previously Ottumwa 

Industrial Airport) and geographic 

coordinates of the airport to coincide 

with the FAA’s aeronautical database; 

And modifying the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Ottumwa Regional Airport 

by removing the Ottumwa VOR/DME 

and the associated extensions from the 

airspace legal description; and updating 

the name (previously Ottumwa 

Industrial Airport) and geographic 

coordinates of the airport to coincide 

with the FAA’s aeronautical database. 

This action is the result of an airspace 

review conducted due to the 

decommissioning of the Ottumwa VOR 

as part of the VOR MON Program and 

supports IFR operations at this airport. 

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.
