Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 89 / Monday, May 9, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 27509 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Jefferson 

Municipal Airport, Jefferson, IA, to 

support instrument flight rule 

operations at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (87 FR 12000; March 3, 2022) 

for Docket No. FAA–2022–0164 to 

amend the Class E airspace at Jefferson, 

IA. 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. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

amends the Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 6.4-mile (increased from a 6.3- 

mile) radius of Jefferson Municipal 

Airport, Jefferson, IA; removes the 

Jefferson NDB and associated extension 

from the airspace legal description; and 

updates the geographic coordinates of 

the airport to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. 

This action is necessary due to an 

airspace review conducted as part of the 

decommissioning of the Jefferson NDB 

which provided navigation information 

for the instrument procedures this 

airport. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
27510 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 89 / Monday, May 9, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

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 Northeast 

Ohio Regional Airport, Ashtabula, OH, 

to support instrument flight rule 

operations at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (87 FR 11364; March 1, 2022) 

for Docket No. FAA–2022–0130 to 

amend the Class E airspace at 

Ashtabula, OH. 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. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

amends the Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Northeast Ohio Regional Airport, 

Ashtabula, OH, by adding an extension 

2 miles each side of the 259° bearing 

from the airport extending from the 6.5- 

mile radius of the airport to 9.6 miles 

west of the airport; removes the city 

associated with Ashtabula County 

Medical Center, contained within the 

airspace legal description, in the header 

to comply with changes to FAA Order 

JO 7400.2N, Procedures for Handling 

Airspace Matters; and updates the name 

(previously Ashtabula County Airport), 

state, and geographic coordinates of 

Northeast Ohio Regional 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 Jefferson VOR, 

which provided navigation information 

for the instrument procedures at this 

airport, as part of the VOR MON 

Program.
