(previously 7.6 miles), eliminating the 

Lawson VOR/DME and Lawson LOC 

from the description, adding the 

airspace within 3.8 miles each side of 

Lawson AAF (Fort Benning) 341° 

bearing from the AAF extending from 

the 9.3-mile radius to 15.2 miles 

northwest of the AAF, and 4.1 miles 

each side of the Lawson AAF (Fort 

Benning) 145° bearing from the AAF 

extending from the 9.3-mile radius to 

10.6 miles southeast of the AAF. 

Class D and E airspace designations 

are published in Paragraphs 5000, 6002, 

6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 

2021, and effective September 15, 2021, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class D and E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

FAA Order JO 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 

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.

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class 

E airspace at Bonham, TX. This action 

is the result of an airspace review due 

to the decommissioning of the Bonham 

non-directional beacon (NDB). The 

geographic coordinates of the airport are 

also being updated to coincide with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database.

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 Jones Field, 

Bonham, TX, to support instrument 

flight rule operations at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (86 FR 59067; October 26, 

2021) for Docket No. FAA–2021–0742 to 

amend the Class E airspace at Bonham, 

TX. 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 JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 

2021, and effective September 15, 2021, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in FAA 

Order JO 7400.11. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order JO 

7400.11F, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 10, 

2021, and effective September 15, 2021. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly 

available as listed in the ADDRESSES

section of this document. FAA Order JO 

7400.11F lists Class A, B, C, D, and E 

airspace areas, air traffic service routes, 

and reporting points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

amends the Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Jones Field, Bonham, TX, by 

removing the Bonham VORTAC and the 

associated extension as it is no longer 

required; adds an extension 2 miles 

each side of the 002° bearing from the 

airport extending from the 6.4-mile 

radius of from the airport to 9.6 miles 

north of the airport; removes the city 

associated with the airport to comply 

with updates to FAA Order 7400.2N, 

Procedures for Handling Airspace 

Matters; and updates the geographic 

coordinates of the airport to coincide 

with the FAA’s aeronautical database. 

This action is the result of an airspace 

review due to the decommissioning of 

the Bonham NDB which provided 

guidance to instrument procedures at 

this airport. 

FAA Order JO 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.
