Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Gaylord, MI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class 

E airspace at Gaylord, MI. This action is 

the result of an airspace review 

conducted due to the decommissioning 

of the Gaylord very high frequency 

omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of 

the VOR Minimum Operational 

Network (MON) Program. This action 

brings the airspace into compliance 

with FAA orders and supports 

instrument flight rule (IFR) procedures 

and operations. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, April 17, 

2025. 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 amends the 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Gaylord 

Regional Airport, Gaylord, MI, to 

support IFR operations at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published an NPRM for 

Docket No. FAA–2024–2369 in the 

Federal Register (89 FR 84313; October 

22, 2024) proposing to amend the Class 

E airspace at Gaylord, MI. Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this rulemaking effort by submitting 

written comments on the proposal to the 

FAA. No comments were received. 

Incorporation by Reference 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 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 amends the current version of 

that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11J, 

dated July 31, 2024, and effective 

September 15, 2024. FAA Order JO 

7400.11J is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. These amendments will be 

published in the next update to FAA 

Order JO 7400.11. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11J 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 

modifies the Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to within a 6.6-mile (reduced from a 7- 

mile) radius of Gaylord Regional 

Airport, Gaylord, MI; removes the 

Gaylord VORTAC and associated 

extensions from the airspace legal 

description; modifies the extension east 

of the airport to 2 miles each side of the 

090° bearing from the airport extending 

from the 6.6-mile (previously 7-mile) 

radius of the airport to 10.5 miles east 

of the airport; adds an extension 9.5 

miles north and 6 miles south of the 

270° bearing from the Gaylord RGNL: 

RWY 09–LOC extending from the 6.6- 

mile radius to 10 miles west of the 

airport; and adds an extension within 2 

miles each side of the 270° bearing from 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 4 / Tuesday, January 7, 2025 / Rules and Regulations 1031 

the airport extending from the 6.5-mile 

radius to 10.9 miles west of the airport. 

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 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.
