14 CFR Part 71 

[Docket No. FAA–2021–0941; Airspace 

Docket No. 21–ASO–31] 

RIN 2120–AA66 

Amendment of Class D, Class E, and 

Establishment of Class E Airspace; 

Atlanta, GA Area 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

airspace, Class E surface airspace, and 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface, and 

establishes Class E Airspace Designated 

as an Extension to a Class D Surface 

Area in the Atlanta, GA area. This 

action replaces the Atlanta Very High 

Frequency Omnidirectional Range 

Collocated Tactical Air Navigation 

(VORTAC) with the term Point of 

Origin. This action updates several 

airport names and geographic 

coordinates. This action also makes an 

editorial change replacing the term 

Airport/Facility Directory with the term 

Chart Supplement in the legal 

descriptions of associated Class D and E 

airspaces. Controlled airspace is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

(IFR) operations in the area. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, May 19, 

2022. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

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 airspace in the Atlanta, GA area, 

to support IFR operations in the area. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (86 FR 71597, December 17, 

2021) for Docket No. FAA–2021–0941 to 

amend Class D airspace, Class E surface 

airspace, and Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface, 

and establish Class E Airspace 

Designated as an Extension to a Class D 

Surface Area in the Atlanta, GA area. 

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 Class 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 E airspace 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 routes, and 

reporting points. 

The Rule 

The FAA amends 14 CFR part 71 to 

amend Class D airspace, Class E surface 

airspace, and Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface, 

and establish Class E Airspace 

Designated as an Extension to Class D 

airspace at the following airports: 

The Dekalb-Peachtree Airport Class D 

airspace is amended by removing 

unnecessary verbiage from the 

descriptor header, updating the 

geographical coordinates of the airport 

to coincide with the FAA’s database, 

and replacing the outdated term 

Airport/Facility Directory with the term 

Chart Supplement in the airport 

description. In addition, the language in 

the legal description is amended to 

include, excluding the airspace that 

borders the Dobbins Air Reserve Base 

(ARB) Class D airspace extension to the 

southeast. 

The Fulton County Executive Airport/ 

Charlie Brown Field (formerly Atlanta, 

Fulton County Airport-Brown Field) 

Class D airspace is amended by 

removing unnecessary verbiage from the 

descriptor header and updating the 

airport’s name. Dobbins ARB Class D 

airspace is amended by updating the 

geographical coordinates of the ARB to 

coincide with the FAA’s database. 

The Cobb County International 

Airport/McCollum Field (formerly Cobb 

County/McCollum Field) Class D 

airspace is amended by removing 

unnecessary verbiage from the 

descriptor header, updating the airport’s 

name, and updating the geographical 

coordinates of the airport to coincide 

with the FAA’s database. Dobbins ARB 

(formerly Dobbins ARB/NAS Atlanta) 

Class D airspace is amended by 

updating the ARB’s name and updating 

the geographical coordinates of the ARB 

to coincide with the FAA’s database. 

This action also replaces the outdated 

term Airport/Facility Directory with the 

term Chart Supplement in the airport 

description. 

The Dobbins ARB (formerly Dobbins 

ARB/NAS Atlanta) Class D airspace 

would be amended by removing 

unnecessary verbiage from the 

descriptor header, updating the ARB’s 

name, and updating the geographical 

coordinates of the ARB to coincide with 

the FAA’s database. Cobb County 

International Airport/McCollum Field 

(formerly Cobb County—McCollum 

Field) Class D airspace is amended by 

updating the airport’s name and 

updating the geographical coordinates 

of the airport to coincide with the FAA’s 

database. Fulton County Executive 

Airport/Charlie Brown Field (formerly 

Fulton County Airport—Brown Field) 

Class D airspace is amended by 

updating the airport’s name. This action 

also replaces the outdated term Airport/

14164 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 49 / Monday, March 14, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

Facility Directory with the term Chart 

Supplement in the airport description. 

The Dekalb-Peachtree Airport Class E 

surface airspace is amended by 

removing unnecessary verbiage from the 

descriptor header, updating the 

geographical coordinates of the airport 

to coincide with the FAA’s database, 

and removing unnecessary verbiage in 

the description. 

The Dekalb-Peachtree Airport Class E 

Airspace Designated as an Extension to 

a Class D Surface Area is established by 

adding that airspace extending upward 

from the surface within 1 mile each side 

of the Dekalb-Peachtree Airport 206° 

and 021° bearings from the airport, 

extending from the 4-mile radius of 

Dekalb-Peachtree Airport to 7.7 miles 

southwest and northeast of the airport 

respectively. 

The Fulton County Executive Airport/ 

Charlie Brown Field Class E Airspace 

Designated as an Extension to a Class D 

Surface Area is established by adding 

that airspace extending upward from the 

surface within 1 mile each side of the 

Fulton County Executive Airport/ 

Charlie Brown Field 260° and 080° 

bearings from the airport, extending 

from the 4-mile radius of Fulton County 

Executive Airport/Charlie Brown Field 

to 7.2 miles west and east of the airport 

respectively. 

The Cobb County International 

Airport/McCollum Field Class E 

Airspace Designated as an Extension to 

a Class D Surface Area is established by 

adding that airspace extending upward 

from the surface from the 4-mile radius 

of the Cobb County International 

Airport/McCollum Field to the 8.4-mile 

radius of the airport; clockwise from the 

255° bearing to the 303° bearing from 

the airport and within 1 mile each side 

of the Cobb County International 

Airport/McCollum Field 089° bearing 

extending from the 4-mile radius to 8.4 

miles east of the airport excluding that 

portion within the Dobbins ARB, Class 

D airspace area. 

The Atlanta, GA Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface is amended by updating the 

name of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta 

International Airport (formerly Atlanta, 

The William B. Hartsfield Atlanta 

International Airport) and updating the 

geographical coordinates of the airport 

to coincide with the FAA’s database. 

Dobbins ARB Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

is amended by updating the ARB’s name 

(formerly Dobbins AFB) and updating 

the geographical coordinates of the 

airport to coincide with the FAA’s 

database. Fulton County Executive 

Airport/Charlie Brown Field Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface is amended by 

updating the airport’s name (formerly 

Fulton County Airport-Brown Field) 

and increasing the radius to 9.7 miles 

(formerly 5 miles). Cobb County 

International Airport/McCollum Field 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface is amended 

by updating the airport’s name (formerly 

Cobb County-McCollum Field), 

updating the geographical coordinates 

of the airport to coincide with the FAA’s 

database, and increasing the radius to 

10.9 miles (formerly 7 miles). DekalbPeachtree Airport Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface is amended by updating the 

geographical coordinates of the airport 

to coincide with the FAA’s database and 

increasing the radius to 10.2 miles 

(formerly 7 miles). The Atlanta 

VORTAC is replaced by the term Point 

of Origin and the geographical 

coordinates are updated to coincide 

with the FAA’s database. 

Subsequent to publication of the 

Notice of Proposed Rule Making 

(NPRM), the FAA found that the 

updated geographical coordinates of 

Dobbins ARB created a shift to the 

southeast of Class D airspace, which 

created a Class D airspace overlap with 

the Dobbins ARB’s extension to the 

southeast and Dekalb-Peachtree Airport 

Class D airspace. Also, subsequent to 

publication of the NPRM, it was 

discovered that the name of Cobb 

County International Airport-McCollum 

Field required updating. The correct 

name is Cobb County International 

Airport/McCollum Field. This action 

resolves both issues. 

Class D and Class 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 Class 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 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 JO 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.

14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 31418; Amdt. No. 3999] 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums 

and Obstacle Departure Procedures; 

Miscellaneous Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, 

suspends, or removes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPS) and associated Takeoff 

Minimums and Obstacle Departure 

procedures (ODPs) for operations at 

certain airports. These regulatory 

actions are needed because of the 

adoption of new or revised criteria, or 

because of changes occurring in the 

National Airspace System, such as the 

commissioning of new navigational 

facilities, adding new obstacles, or 

changing air traffic requirements. These 

changes are designed to provide safe 

and efficient use of the navigable 

airspace and to promote safe flight 

operations under instrument flight rules 

at the affected airports. 

DATES: This rule is March 14, 2022. The 

compliance date for each SIAP, 

associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP 

is specified in the amendatory 

provisions. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the 

regulations is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of March 14, 

2022.
