Proposed Amendment and 

Establishment of Class D and E 

Airspace; Concord, NC 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Class D airspace, establish Class 

E airspace designated as an extension to 

a Class D surface area, and amend Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at ConcordPadgett Regional Airport, Concord, NC. 

The FAA is proposing this action as a 

result of the Charlotte Class B Biennial 

Review. This action would also update 

the airport’s name to Concord-Padgett 

Regional Airport, (formerly Concord 

Regional Airport). In addition, this 

action would also update the geographic 

coordinates of the airport to coincide 

with the FAA’s database. This action 

would also make an editorial change 

replacing the term Airport/Facility 

Directory with the term Chart 

Supplement in the legal descriptions of 

associated Class D and E airspace. 

Controlled airspace is necessary for the 

safety and management of instrument 

flight rules (IFR) in the area. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before August 16, 2021.

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 Class D and E airspace in 

Concord, NC, as well as establish Class 

E airspace to support IFR operations in 

the area. 

Comments Invited 

Interested persons are invited to 

comment on this proposed rulemaking 

by submitting such written data, views,

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 (Docket No. FAA– 

2021–0520 and Airspace Docket No. 21– 

ASO–17) and be submitted in triplicate

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 amend Class D 

airspace and Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Concord-Padgett Regional Airport, 

Concord, NC, by updating the airports 

name to Concord-Padgett Regional 

Airport, (formerly Concord Regional 

Airport), and updating the geographical 

coordinates to coincide with the FAA’s 

database. In addition, this action would 

amend Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Concord-Padgett Regional Airport, 

Concord, NC, by increasing the radius to 

8.8 miles, (formerly 6.5 miles). This 

action would also establish Class E 

airspace designated as an extension to a 

Class D surface area airspace for 

Concord-Padgett Regional Airport 

upward from the surface to within 1 

mile each side of the 010° bearing from 

the Concord-Padgett Regional Airport, 

extending from the 4.0-mile radius to 

6.3 miles northeast of the airport, and 

within 1 mile each side of the 190° 

bearing from the airport, extending from 

the 4.0-mile radius to 6.3 miles 

southwest from the airport. In addition, 

the FAA proposes to replace the 

outdated term Airport/Facility Directory 

with the term Chart Supplement in the 

associated Class D airspace in the legal 

descriptions for Concord-Padgett 

Regional Airport. 

Class D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in 

Paragraphs 5000, 6004 and 6005, 

respectively, 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.
