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 

establish and modify Class E airspace at 

Frank Wiley Field Airport, Miles City, 

MT, to support IFR operations at the 

airport. 

Comments Invited

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 is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 by establishing Class 

E airspace, designated as an extension to 

a Class D or Class E surface area, at 

Frank Wiley Field Airport, Miles City, 

MT. The FAA proposes to amend the 

VOR RWY 4 approach and the 

amendment will relocate the point 

where aircraft descend below 1,000 feet 

above the surface from ‘‘3.35 miles’’ to 

‘‘10.8 miles southwest of the airport.’’ 

The additional Class E airspace will 

ensure the containment of IFR aircraft 

flying the approach. 

This action also proposes to remove 

the Class E airspace extending upward 

from 1,200 feet above the surface. This 

airspace area is wholly contained with 

the Glasgow en route airspace and 

duplication is not necessary. 

Additionally, the action proposes an 

administrative update to the Class E2 

and E5 text headers. The city name 

should not appear in the second line of 

the text header, and the term ‘‘Airport’’ 

should be added. This line of text 

should be changed from ‘‘Miles City, 

Frank Wiley Field, MT’’ to ‘‘Frank 

Wiley Field Airport, MT’’. 

Class E2, E4, and E5 airspace 

designations are published in 

paragraphs 6002, 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 designation 

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 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current, is non-controversial, and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. 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 rule, when 

promulgated, would 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.

Vicinity of Kingfisher, OK 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Jet Route J–8 and VHF 

Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal 

airway V–140, and establish Area 

Navigation (RNAV) route T–422 in the

Traffic Service (ATS) route 

modifications are necessary due to the 

planned decommissioning of the VOR 

portion of the Kingfisher, OK, VOR/ 

Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) 

navigational aid (NAVAID) which 

provides navigational guidance for 

portions of J–8 and V–140. The VOR 

portion of the VORTAC is being 

decommissioned as part of the FAA’s 

VOR Minimum Operational Network 

(MON) program.
