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 service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

amends the Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 6.3-mile (decreased from 7.2- 

mile) radius of Yoakum Municipal 

Airport, Yoakum, TX; and updating 

geographic coordinates of the airport to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 

This action is the result of an airspace 

review due to the decommissioning of 

the Yoakum NDB which provided 

navigation information for the 

instrument procedures at this airport. 

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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and 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 5–6.5.a. 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.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

and Class E airspace in the south 

Florida area, by updating the geographic 

coordinates of the following airports; 

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood 

International Airport, Miami-Opa Locka 

Executive Airport, (formerly Opa Locka 

Airport), North Perry Airport, Pompano 

Beach Airpark, Miami International 

Airport, Homestead ARB, Boca Raton 

Airport, and Miami Executive Airport 

(formerly Kendall-Tamiami Executive 

Airport). This action also updates the 

geographic coordinates of the Fort 

Lauderdale Very High Frequency 

Omnidirectional Range collocated with 

Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/ 

DME), and the QEEZY Locator Outer 

Marker (LOM). Furthermore, this action 

makes 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: Effective 0901 UTC, January 27, 

2022. 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 rule 

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 

Class D and Class E airspace in the 

south Florida area, to support IFR 

operations in the area. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (86 FR 33581, June 25, 2021) 

for Docket No. FAA–2021–0169 to 

amend Class D and Class E airspace in 

the south Florida area, by updating the 

names and geographic coordinates of 

several airports in the area, as well as 

the geographical coordinates of the Fort 

Lauderdale VOR/DME, and the QEEZY 

LOM. This action proposed making 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. 

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 Paragraphs 5000, 6002, 

6003, 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. 

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. 

The Rule 

The FAA amends 14 CFR part 71 by 

amending Class D and Class E surface 

airspace, and Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

by updating the geographical 

coordinates of several airports and 

associated navigation aids in the south 

Florida area, and removing Class E 

airspace designated as an extension to a 

Class C surface area. The FAA is 

updating the airport names of Miami 

Executive Airport (formerly KendallTamiami Executive Airport), and Miami 

Opa-Locka Executive Airport (formerly 

Opa Locka Airport), and Homestead 

ARB (formerly Dade County-Homestead 

Regional Airport) in the Class D 

airspace, Class E surface airspace, and 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface. The FAA is 

amending the Miami, Opa Locka 

Executive Airport, FL Class D header, 

(formerly Miami, Opa Locka Airport, FL 

as well. In addition, the FAA is 

replacing the outdated term Airport/ 

Facility Directory with the term Chart 

Supplement in the associated Class D 

and E airspace legal descriptions for 

these airports. Also, Boca Raton Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface excludes the 

reference to Pompano Beach Class D 

airspace, as this is unnecessary verbiage. 

These changes are necessary for 

continued safety and management of 

IFR operations in the area. 

Subsequent to publication of the 

NPRM the FAA found that the Fort 

Lauderdale E3 extensions are no longer 

required. This action removes the E3 

Descriptor for Fort Lauderdale. 

The Class D descriptor for Fort 

Lauderdale Executive Airport 

incorrectly listed the airport runways as 

8/26. This action corrects the runways 

to 9/27. 

In addition, the Class D descriptor for 

Boca Raton Airport was omitted from 

the NPRM. This action adds the Class D 

descriptor for Boca Raton Airport, 

adding ‘‘excluding that airspace within 

the Pompano Beach, Class D airspace 

area, when active.’’ 

Finally, the NPRM listed the 

geographic coordinates incorrectly for 

North Perry Airport, Fort Lauderdale 

Executive Airport and the Boca Raton 

Airport, as well as the line dividing Fort 

Lauderdale Executive Airport and 

Pompano Beach Airport. This action 

corrects these errors. 

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 and 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.
