Proposed Amendment of Class D and 

Class E Airspace; Portsmouth, NH 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Class D airspace and Class E 

airspace for Portsmouth International 

Airport at Pease, Portsmouth, NH, due 

to the decommissioning of the PEASE 

Very High Frequency Omnidirectional 

Range Collocated with Distance 

Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) and 

cancellation of the associated approach 

procedures (SIAPs). This action would 

also update the airport’s name and 

geographic coordinates. Controlled 

airspace is necessary for the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

(IFR) operations in the area. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before August 30, 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 airspace for Portsmouth 

International Airport at Pease, 

Portsmouth, NH, 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,

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 

Title 14 CFR part 71 to amend Class D 

airspace, increasing the radius to 4.7 

miles from 4.5 miles, removing Class E 

airspace area designated as an extension 

to Class D and Class E surface area, as 

it is no longer necessary, and amend 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Portsmouth 

International Airport at Pease, 

Portsmouth, NH, due to the 

decommissioning of the PEASE VOR/ 

DME and cancellation of the associated 

approach procedures (SIAPs). This 

action would update the airport name to 

Portsmouth International Airport at 

Pease, formerly Pease International 

Tradeport. In addition, the FAA would 

update the geographic coordinates of the 

airport and Littlebrook Air Park to 

coincide with the FAA’s database. 

Class D and 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.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Reclassification of the Palo 

de Rosa From Endangered to 

Threatened With Section 4(d) Rule 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), propose to 

reclassify palo de rosa (Ottoschulzia 

rhodoxylon) from endangered to 

threatened (downlist) under the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (Act). The proposed 

downlisting is based on our evaluation 

of the best available scientific and 

commercial information, which 

indicates that the species’ status has 

improved such that it is not currently in 

danger of extinction throughout all or a 

significant portion of its range, but that 

it is still likely to become so in the 

foreseeable future. We also propose a 

rule under section 4(d) of the Act that 

provides for the conservation of palo de 

rosa. 

DATES: We will accept comments 

received or postmarked on or before 

September 13, 2021. Comments 

submitted electronically using the 

Federal eRulemaking Portal (see 

ADDRESSES, below) must be received by 

11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing 

date. We must receive requests for a 

public hearing, in writing, at the address 

shown in FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
