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 Wexford 

County Airport, Cadillac, MI; Mason 

County Airport, Ludington, MI; and 

Manistee County/Blacker Airport, 

Manistee, MI, to support instrument 

flight rule operations at these airports. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the 

Federal Register (86 FR 73202; 

December 27, 2021) for Docket No. 

FAA–2021–1145 to amend the Class E 

airspace at Cadillac, MI; Ludington, MI; 

and Manistee, MI. 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; 

Multiple Michigan Towns’’ should have 

been ‘‘Proposed Amendment of Class E 

Airspace; Multiple Michigan Towns’’. 

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 to within a 6.6-mile 

(decreased from a 6.7-mile) radius of 

Wexford County Airport, Cadillac, MI; 

and removes the city associated with the 

airport in the header to comply with 

changes to FAA Order JO 7400.2N, 

Procedures for Handling Airspace 

Matters; 

Amends the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface to within a 6.6-mile 

(decreased from a 7-mile) radius of 

Mason County Airport, Ludington, MI; 

removes the city associated with the 

airport in the header to comply with 

changes to FAA Order JO 7400.2N; and 

updates the geographic coordinates of 

the airport to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database; 

And amends the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface to within a 6.6-mile 

(decreased from a 7-mile) radius of 

Manistee County/Blacker Airport, 

Manistee, MI; removes the Manistee 

VOR/DME and associated extensions 

from the airspace legal description; adds 

an extension 6.5 miles north and 5.3 

miles south of the 091° bearing from the 

Manistee County/Blacker Airport: RWY 

28–LOC extending from the 6.6-mile 

radius of the airport to 16.5 miles east 

of the Manistee County/Blacker Airport: 

RWY 28–LOC; adds an extension 2.2 

miles each side of the 271° bearing from 

the airport extending from the 6.6-mile 

radius of the airport to 10 miles west of 

the airport; and updates the airport 

name (previously Manistee County— 

Blacker Airport) to coincide with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database. 

This action is due to airspace reviews 

conducted as part of the 

decommissioning of the Manistee 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 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
21010 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 69 / Monday, April 11, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

‘‘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.
