21006 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 69 / Monday, April 11, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

700 feet above the surface at Hallock 

Municipal Airport, Hallock, MN, to 

support instrument flight rule 

operations at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the 

Federal Register (86 FR 73203; 

December 27, 2021) for Docket No. 

FAA–2021–1146 to amend the Class E 

airspace at Hallock, MN. 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 JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 

2021, and effective September 15, 2021, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in FAA 

Order JO 7400.11. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order JO 

7400.11F, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 10, 

2021, and effective September 15, 2021. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly 

available as listed in the ADDRESSES

section of this document. FAA Order JO 

7400.11F lists Class A, B, C, D, and E 

airspace areas, air traffic service routes, 

and reporting points. 

Differences From the NPRM 

Subsequent to publication, the FAA 

discovered a typographical error in the 

title of the NPRM, ‘‘Proposed 

Establishment of Class E Airspace; 

Hallock, MN’’ should have been 

‘‘Proposed Amendment of Class E 

Airspace; Hallock, MN’’. As this error 

was only in the title and does not 

impact the actual airspace being 

amended, it has been corrected in this 

action. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

amends the Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Hallock Municipal Airport, Hallock, 

MN, by removing the extension to the 

southeast of the airport as it is no longer 

needed. 

This action is due to an airspace 

review conducted as part of the 

decommissioning of the Humbolt VOR, 

which provided navigation information 

for the instrument procedures at these 

airports, as part of the VOR MON 

Program. 

FAA Order JO 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.

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Pembina, ND 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class 

E airspace at Pembina, ND. This action 

is due to an airspace review conducted 

as part of the decommissioning of the 

Humbolt very high frequency (VHF) 

omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of 

the VOR Minimal Operational Network 

(MON) Program. The geographic 

coordinates of the airport are also being 

updated to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, July 14, 

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 JO 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 at Pembina 

Municipal Airport, Pembina, ND, to 

support instrument flight rule 

operations at this airport.

Class E airspace designations are

2021, and effective September 15, 2021, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in FAA 

Order JO 7400.11. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order JO 

7400.11F, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 10, 

2021, and effective September 15, 2021. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly 

available as listed in the ADDRESSES

section of this document. FAA Order JO 

7400.11F lists Class A, B, C, D, and E 

airspace areas, air traffic service routes,

was only in the title and does not

action. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

amends the Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to within a 6.4-mile (increased from a 

6.2-mile) radius of Pembina Municipal 

Airport, Pembina, ND; removes the 

Humbolt VORTAC and associated 

extension from the airspace legal 

description; removes Grand Forks AFB, 

Devils Lake VOR/DME, and the airspace 

extending upward from 1,200 feet above 

the surface from the airspace legal 

description as it is covered by the Class 

E airspace extending upward from 1,200 

feet above the surface over the State of 

North Dakota, is redundant, and no 

longer needed; adds exclusionary 

language north of latitude 49°00′00′′ N. 

that prevents the airspace from 

extending into Canadian airspace; and 

updates the geographic coordinates of 

the airport to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. 

This action is due to an airspace 

review conducted as part of the 

decommissioning of the Humbolt VOR, 

which provided navigation information 

for the instrument procedures at this 

airport, as part of the VOR MON 

Program.
