1050 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 4 / Tuesday, January 7, 2025 / Proposed Rules 

Incorporation by Reference 

Class E5 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 proposes to amend the 

current version of that order, FAA Order 

JO 7400.11J, dated July 31, 2024 and 

effective September 15, 2024. These 

updates would be published in the next 

update to FAA Order JO 7400.11. That 

order is publicly available as listed in 

the ADDRESSES section of this document. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11J 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 that would establish 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface and revoke 

Class E airspace extending upwards 

from 1,200 feet above the surface at 

Blanding Municipal Airport, Blanding, 

UT. 

Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet should be established 

within a 6.2-mile radius of the airport, 

excluding that airspace parallel to the 

runway 3.1 miles west. Additionally, 

the Class E airspace should extend to 

the northeast to contain departing IFR 

operations until they reach 1,200 feet 

above the surface. 

Class E airspace extending upward 

from 1,200 feet above the surface should 

be revoked as it is made redundant by 

Denver Class E En Route Domestic 

Airspace. 

Finally, the legal description’s 

geographical coordinates should be 

updated to match the FAA’s database. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed 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 will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that this 

proposed rule, when promulgated, will 

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.

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 the 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 

establish new and modify existing Class 

E airspace to support IFR operations at 

Battle Mountain Airport, Battle 

Mountain, NV.

The FAA will file in the docket all 

comments it receives, as well as a report 

summarizing each substantive public 

contact with FAA personnel concerning 

this proposed rulemaking. Before acting 

on this proposal, the FAA will consider 

all comments it receives on or before the 

closing date for comments. The FAA 

will consider comments filed after the 

comment period has closed if it is 

possible to do so without incurring 

expense or delay. The FAA may change 

this proposal in light of the comments 

it receives. 

Privacy: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 

553(c), DOT solicits comments from the 

public to better inform its rulemaking 

process. DOT posts these comments,

Incorporation by Reference 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraphs 6002, 6004, 

and 6005, respectively, 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 proposes 

to amend the current version of that 

order, FAA Order JO 7400.11J, dated 

July 31, 2024 and effective September 

15, 2024. These updates would be 

published in the next update to FAA 

Order JO 7400.11. That order is publicly 

available as listed in the ADDRESSES

section of this document. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11J 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 to modify the Class 

E airspace area designated as surface 

area, establish a Class E airspace area 

designated as an extension to a Class D 

or Class E surface area, modify Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface of the earth, and 

remove Class E airspace extending 

upward from 1,200 feet above the 

surface at Battle Mountain Airport, 

Battle Mountain, NV. 

The Class E airspace area designated 

as surface area should be expanded from 

a 4.2-mile radius to a 4.4-mile radius 

and have a .1-mile extension to the 

southwest of the airport to more 

appropriately contain departing IFR 

aircraft executing the Runway (RWY) 22 

obstacle departure procedure while 

between the surface and the base of 

adjacent controlled airspace. 

In addition, Class E airspace 

designated as an extension to a Class D 

or Class E surface area should be 

established southwest of the airport to 

contain arriving IFR aircraft on the Very 

High Frequency Omnidirectional Range 

(VOR) RWY 4 approach while 

descending below 1,000 feet above the 

surface. 

Moreover, the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface should be expanded to a 5- 

mile radius through all but the 

northwest portion to better contain 

arriving IFR aircraft descending below 

1,500 feet and departing IFR aircraft 

until reaching 1,200 feet above the 

surface. The northeast extension should 

be realigned to the 051° and lengthened 

to appropriately contain arriving IFR 

aircraft below 1,500 feet above the 

surface while executing the Area 

Navigation (RNAV) (Global Positioning 

System [GPS]) RWY 22 approach. The 

southwest extension should be reduced 

in size to appropriately contain arriving 

IFR aircraft descending through 1,500 

feet above the surface while executing 

the VOR RWY 4 or RNAV (GPS) RWY 

4 approaches, departing IFR aircraft 

while executing the RNAV (GPS) RWY 

13 or RNAV (GPS) RWY 33 departure 

procedures, and IFR aircraft ascending 

via the RNAV (GPS) RWY 22 missed 

approach procedure until reaching 

1,200 feet above the surface. The 

northwest portion of the radius should 

be reduced in size and have an 

extension 3.6 miles wide extending on 

the 319° bearing from the 5-mile radius 

to 6.7 miles northwest of the airport to 

more appropriately contain IFR aircraft 

departing RWY 31 while climbing from 

700 feet the 1,200 feet above the surface. 

Furthermore, the Battle Mountain 

Class E airspace beginning at 1,200 feet 

above the surface should be removed as 

it is redundant.

1052 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 4 / Tuesday, January 7, 2025 / Proposed Rules 

Finally, the FAA proposes 

administrative modifications to the 

airport’s associated legal description. 

Reference to the Battle very high 

frequency omnidirectional range tactical 

air navigation (VORTAC) on line 3 of 

the existing Class E5 legal descriptions 

is no longer needed and should be 

removed. The airspace should be 

described using the airport reference 

point. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed 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
