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 is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 by amending the Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface to within a 6.3- 

mile (decreased from a 6.8-mile) radius 

of Monmouth Municipal Airport, 

Monmouth, IL. 

This action is due to an airspace 

review caused by the decommissioning 

of the Galesburg VOR, which provided 

navigation information for the 

instrument procedures this airport, as 

part of the VOR MON Program. 

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 

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.

Special Local Regulation; Tennessee 

River, Chattanooga, TN 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing 

to establish a temporary special local 

regulation for navigable waters of the 

Tennessee River from mile 452.0 to 

454.5. This action is necessary to 

provide for the safety of life on these 

navigable waters near Chattanooga, TN, 

during a swimming event on October 9, 

2021. This proposed rulemaking would 

prohibit persons and vessels from being 

in the special local regulation unless 

authorized by the Captain of the Port 

Sector Ohio Valley or a designated 

representative. We invite your 

comments on this proposed rulemaking. 

DATES: Comments and related material 

must be received by the Coast Guard on 

or before September 22, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by docket number USCG–

CFR Code of Federal Regulations 

DHS Department of Homeland Security 

FR Federal Register 

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal 

Basis 

On October 9, 2021, the Chattanooga 

Open Water Swimmers notified the 

Coast Guard that it will be conducting 

the Swim the Suck from 9:30 a.m. to 

11:30 a.m. on October 9, 2021. The 

swimmers will start at Suck Creek Boat 

Ramp and cross the river immediately 

and continue to swim downriver for 10 

miles ending at TN River Gardens in 

Chattanooga, TN. The COTP has 

determined that potential hazards 

associated with the Swim the Suck 

swimming event will be a safety 

concern, and a temporary special local 

regulation is needed. This proposed rule 

is needed to the swimmerst in the 

navigable waters within the temporary 

special local regulation during the Swim 

the Suck event. 

The purpose of this proposed 

rulemaking is to ensure the safety of life 

and the navigable waters within a 2.5 

mile span of the river where the 

swimmers will be during the scheduled 

event. The Coast Guard is proposing this 

rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 

70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). 

The Coast Guard is issuing this notice 

of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with a 

15-day prior notice and opportunity to 

comment pursuant to section (b)(3) of 

the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) 

(5 U.S.C. 553). This provision authorizes 

an agency to publish a rule in less than 

30 days before its effective date for 

‘‘good cause found and published with 

the rule.’’ Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), 

the Coast Guard finds that good cause 

exists for publishing this NPRM with a 

15-day comment period because it is 

impracticable to provide a 30-day 

comment period because we must 

establish this safety zone by October 9, 

2021. A 15-day comment period would 

allow the Coast Guard to provide for 

public notice and comment, but also 

update the proposed regulation soon 

enough that the length of the notice and 

comment period does not compromise 

safety. 

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The COTP is proposing to establish a 

special local regulation from 9:30 a.m. 

to 11:30 a.m. on October 9, 2021. The 

special local regulation would cover all 

navigable waters within 2.5 miles of the 

Swim the Suck event in the Tennessee 

River located between miles 452 and 

454.5 in Chattanooga, TN. The duration 

of the zone is intended to ensure the 

safety of the swimmers in these 

navigable waters before, during, and 

after the scheduled 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. 

Swim the Suck event. No vessel or 

person would be permitted to enter the 

special local regulation without 

obtaining permission from the COTP or 

a designated representative. The 

regulatory text we are proposing appears 

at the end of this document. 

IV. Regulatory Analyses 

We developed this proposed rule after 

considering numerous statutes and 

Executive orders related to rulemaking. 

Below we summarize our analyses 

based on a number of these statutes and 

Executive orders, and we discuss First 

Amendment rights of protestors. 

A. Regulatory Planning and Review 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

direct agencies to assess the costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits. 

This NPRM has not been designated a 

‘‘significant regulatory action,’’ under 

Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, 

the NPRM has not been reviewed by the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB). 

This regulatory action determination 

is based on the size, location, duration, 

and time-of-day of the safety zone. The 

proposed safety zone would last for 2 

hours, after which time vessels will be
