Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated July 21, 2020, and effective 

September 15, 2020. FAA Order 

7400.11E is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Proposal 

The FAA proposes an amendment to 

14 CFR part 71 to modify Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Courtland 

Airport, Courtland, AL, by updating the 

airport’s name and geographical 

coordinates. In addition, the reference to 

Muscle Shoals Airport would be 

removed from the description, as it is 

not necessary (FAA Order 7400.2M, 18– 

2–1, note). 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraph 6005, of FAA 

Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, 

and effective September 15, 2020, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

FAA Order 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 

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.

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 the Class D airspace, the Class E 

airspace area designated as an extension 

to Class D airspace, and the Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Scott AFB/ 

MidAmerica St. Louis Airport, 

Belleville, IL, to support instrument 

flight rule operations at this airport.

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 by: 

Amending the Class D airspace at 

Scott AFB/MidAmerica St. Louis 

Airport, Belleville, IL, by removing the 

city associated with the airport to 

comply with changes to FAA Order 

7400.2N, Procedures for Handling 

Airspace Matters; updating the name 

(previously Scott AFB/MidAmerica 

Airport) of the airport to coincide with 

the FAA’s aeronautical database; and 

replacing the outdated term ‘‘Airport/ 

Facility Directory’’ with ‘‘Chart 

Supplement’’; 

Amending the Class E airspace area 

designated as an extension to Class D 

airspace at Scott AFB/MidAmerica St. 

Louis Airport by adding an extension 

1.3 miles each side of the 048° bearing 

from the Scott TACAN extending from 

the 4.9-mile radius of the airport to 5.7 

miles northeast of the Scott TACAN; 

amending the northwest extension to 1 

mile (decreased from 1.5 miles) each 

side of the 314° (previously 312°) radial 

from the Scott TACAN extending from 

the 4.9-mile radius from the airport to 

9.5 miles (decreased from 10 miles) 

northwest of the Scott TACAN; 

removing the city associated with the 

airport to comply with changes to FAA 

Order 7400.2N; updating the name of 

the airport (previously Scott AFB/ 

MidAmerica Airport) to coincide with 

the FAA’s aeronautical database; and 

replacing the outdated term ‘‘Airport/ 

Facility Directory’’ with ‘‘Chart 

Supplement’’; 

And amending the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface to at Scott AFB/MidAmerica 

St. Louis Airport by adding an extension 

8 miles northwest and 10 miles 

southeast of the 048° bearing from the 

Scott TACAN extending from the 7.4- 

mile radius of the airport to 22 miles 

northeast of the Scott TACAN; adding 

an extension 1 mile each side of the 

137° bearing from the airport extending 

from the 7.4-mile radius of the airport 

to 8.1 miles southeast of the airport; 

amending the southeast extension to 1.5 

miles (decreased from 1.7 miles) each 

side of the 142° (previously 140°) radial 

from the Scott TACAN extending from 

the 7.4-mile radius of the airport to 12.7 

miles (decreased from 14 miles) 

southeast of the Scott TACAN; 

amending the northwest extension to 4 

miles (increased from 1.5 miles) each 

side of the 314° (previously 312°) radial 

from the Scott TACAN extending from 

the 7.4-mile radius of the airport to 10.5 

miles (increased from 10 miles) 

northwest of the Scott TACAN; 

removing the city associated with the 

airport to comply with changes to FAA 

Order 7400.2N; updating the name of 

the airport (previously Scott AFB/ 

MidAmerica Airport) to coincide with 

the FAA’s aeronautical database; and 

removing the exclusionary language as 

it is not required. 

This action is due to a biennial 

airspace review.

The FAA has determined that this

frequent and routine amendments are

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a

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

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

for Tuscaloosa National Airport, 

Tuscaloosa, AL. The FAA is proposing 

this action as a result of an airspace 

review caused by the decommissioning 

of the CRIMSON Very High Frequency 

Omnidirectional Range collocated with 

Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC). This 

action would also update name of 

Tuscaloosa National Airport, (formerly 

Tuscaloosa Municipal Airport) AL. 

Controlled airspace is necessary for the 

safety and management of instrument 

flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.
