21056 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 69 / Monday, April 11, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

2021–0170 specifies ‘‘send all oversized 

particles for analysis and wait for results 

before continuing flight,’’ this AD does not 

require sending particles for analysis, 

however this AD does require before further 

flight, analyzing the particles using a method 

in accordance with FAA-approved 

procedures. 

(14) This AD does not mandate compliance 

with the ‘‘Remarks’’ section of EASA AD 

2021–0170. 

(15) Where paragraph (7) of EASA AD 

2021–0170 specifies to accomplish the 

applicable corrective actions ‘‘within the 

compliance time as identified in the 

applicable ASB,’’ this AD requires 

accomplishing corrective actions before 

further flight. 

(16) Where paragraph (1) of EASA AD 

2021–0170 specifies ‘‘within the applicable 

compliance time as identified in the close 

monitoring and until completion of the close 

monitoring,’’ this AD requires a close 

monitoring compliance time of a total of 25 

hours TIS. 

(i) No Reporting Requirement 

Although the service information 

referenced in EASA AD 2021–0170 specifies 

to submit certain information to the 

manufacturer, this AD does not include that 

requirement. 

(j) Special Flight Permit 

Special flight permits may be issued in 

accordance with 14 CFR 21.197 and 21.199, 

provided no passengers are onboard.

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 

modify Class D and Class E airspace, 

and establish Class E airspace at Oxnard 

Airport, to support IFR operations at the 

airport. 

Comments Invited 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in this proposed rulemaking 

by submitting such written data, views, 

or arguments, as they may desire. 

Comments that provide the factual basis 

supporting the views and suggestions 

presented are particularly helpful in 

developing reasoned regulatory 

decisions on the proposal. Comments 

are specifically invited on the overall 

regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 

environmental, and energy-related 

aspects of the proposal. 

Communications should identify both 

docket numbers and be submitted in 

triplicate to the address listed above. 

Persons wishing the FAA to 

acknowledge receipt of their comments 

on this notice must submit with those 

comments a self-addressed, stamped 

postcard on which the following 

statement is made: ‘‘Comments to 

Docket No. FAA–2021–0243; Airspace 

Docket No. 20–AWP–10’’. The postcard 

will be date/time stamped and returned 

to the commenter. 

All communications received before 

the specified closing date for comments 

will be considered before taking action 

on the proposed rule. The proposal 

contained in this notice may be changed 

in light of the comments received. A 

report summarizing each substantive 

public contact with FAA personnel 

concerned with this rulemaking will be 

filed in the docket.

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

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 Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 by removing the Class 

E airspace, designated as an extension to 

a Class D or Class E surface area. This 

airspace is west of the airport and is no 

longer required to contain IFR arrivals 

descending below 1,000 feet above the 

surface. 

This action also proposes to establish 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface. This airspace 

is designated to contain arriving IFR 

aircraft descending below 1,500 feet 

above the surface, and departing IFR 

aircraft until they reach 1,200 feet above 

the surface. 

Finally, the FAA proposes several 

administrative updates to the Class D 

legal description. The current 

description requires modification to 

replace the use of the phrases ‘‘Notice 

to Airmen’’ and ‘‘Airport/Facility 

Directive.’’ These phrases should read 

‘‘Notice to Air Missions’’ and ‘‘Chart 

Supplement,’’ respectively, in the 

Oxnard Class D airspace legal 

description. Additionally, the Oxnard 

Airport’s Class D airspace abuts the 

Class D areas of Point Mugu Naval Air 

Station Airport and Camarillo Airport. 

The geographic coordinates in the 

Oxnard Airport Class D legal 

description should be updated to more 

accurately define the common borders 

of the three Class D surface areas, which 

would not represent a change to the 

current boundaries. 

Class D, Class E4 and Class E5 

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 E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in FAA Order 

JO 7400.11. 

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 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.
