Amendment of Class E Airspace; New 

Madrid, MO 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at County 

Memorial Airport, New Madrid, MO. 

The FAA is taking this action as a result 

of an airspace review caused by the 

decommissioning of the Malden Very 

High Frequency Omnidirectional Range 

(VOR) collocated with Tactical Air 

Navigation (VORTAC) navigational aid 

as part of the VOR Minimum 

Operational Network (MON) Program. 

Controlled airspace is necessary for the 

safety and management of instrument 

flight rules (IFR) in the area. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, October 7, 

2021. 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 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 in New 

Madrid, MO, to support IFR operations 

in the area. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (86 FR 30399, June 8, 2021) for 

Docket No. FAA–2021–0418 to amend 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at County 

Memorial Airport, New Madrid, MO, 

due to the decommissioning of the 

Malden VORTAC. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. 

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. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends 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 routes, and reporting points.

43412 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 150 / Monday, August 9, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71 

by amending the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at County Memorial Airport, 

New Madrid, MO, as the Malden 

VORTAC has been decommissioned and 

all associated airspace extensions of 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface, off the 

Malden VORTAC, have been 

eliminated. The Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface is amended by increasing the 

radius to 10.3 miles (previously 6.3 

miles). 

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 

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 minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that only affects air traffic 

procedures an 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 5–6.5a. 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.

NASA Guidance Procedures; Removal 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule removes 

information about NASA’s processes 

and procedures for issuing guidance 

documents because requirements to 

publish this information were revoked. 

DATES: Effective: August 9, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Executive Order 13891, Promoting the 

Rule of Law Through Improved Agency 

Guidance Documents, issued October 9, 

2019, required agencies to finalize 

regulations to set forth processes and 

procedures for issuing guidance 

documents. To respond to this action, 

NASA issued its Guidance Procedures, 

14 CFR part 1204 subpart 3, that 

published on March 24, 2020, at 85 FR 

16542. 

On January 20, 2021, Executive Order 

13992, Revocation of Certain Executive 

Orders Concerning Federal Regulation, 

was issued to revoke several regulatory 

policies, including Executive Order 

13891. Therefore, NASA is removing 14 

CFR part 1204 subpart 3, NASA 

Guidance Documents, to comply with 

Executive Order 13992. 

II. Regulatory Analysis 

Executive Order 12866—Regulatory 

Planning and Review and Executive 

Order 13563—Improving Regulation 

and Regulatory Review 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

direct agencies to assess all costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and 

equity). Executive Order 13563 

emphasizes the importance of 

quantifying both costs and benefits, 

reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and 

promoting flexibility. This rule is not a 

significant regulatory action under 

Executive Order 12866. 

Executive Order 13132—Federalism 

Executive Order 13132 requires 

agencies to ensure meaningful and 

timely input by state and local officials 

in the development of regulatory 

policies that may have a substantial, 

direct effect on the states, on the 

relationship between the National 

Government and the states, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. This action has 

been analyzed in accordance with the 

principles and criteria contained in the 

order, and NASA has determined that 

this action will not have a substantial 

direct effect or federalism implications 

on the states and would not preempt 

any state law or regulation or affect the 

states’ ability to discharge traditional 

state governmental functions. Therefore, 

consultation with the states is not 

necessary.
