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 D airspace and the Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface, and removes the 

Class E airspace area designated as an 

extension to the Class D airspace at 

Hammond Northshore Regional Airport, 

Hammond, LA, to support instrument 

flight rule operations at this airport, and 

removes the Class E airspace area 

designated as an extension to the Class 

D airspace at Hammond Municipal 

Airport, Hammond, LA, as it is 

duplicate airspace. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (86 FR 62749; November 12, 

2021) for Docket No. FAA–2021–0978 to 

amend the Class D and Class E airspace 

and revoke Class E airspace at 

Hammond, LA. 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 D and E airspace designations 

are published in paragraphs 5000, 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 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 D airspace at 

Hammond Northshore Regional Airport, 

Hammond, LA, by replacing the 

outdated term ‘‘Airport/Facility 

Directory’’ with ‘‘Chart Supplement;’’ 

Removes the Class E airspace area 

designated as an extension to the Class 

D airspace at Hammond Northshore 

Regional Airport as it is no longer 

required; 

Removes the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Hammond Municipal 

Airport, Hammond, LA, as it is 

duplicate airspace and not required; 

And amends the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface to within a 6.6-mile 

(decreased from a 7.5-mile) radius of 

Hammond Northshore Regional Airport. 

This action is the result of an airspace 

review due to the decommissioning of 

the Hammond VOR 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 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
6410 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 24 / Friday, February 4, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

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.
