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 would 

remove the Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Four Square Ranch, Rocksprings, TX, 

and Canyon Ranch Airport, Sonora, TX, 

due to the cancellation of the 

instrument procedures at these airports, 

and the airspace no longer being 

required. 

Comments Invited 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in this proposed rulemaking 

by submitting such written data, views, 

or arguments, as they may desire.

supporting the views and suggestions 

presented are particularly helpful in 

developing reasoned regulatory 

decisions on the proposal. Comments 

are specifically invited on the overall 

regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 

environmental, and energy-related 

aspects of the proposal. 

Communications should identify both 

docket numbers and be submitted in 

triplicate to the address listed above. 

Commenters wishing the FAA to 

acknowledge receipt of their comments 

on this notice must submit with those 

comments a self-addressed, stamped

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

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 Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 by: 

Removing the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Four Square Ranch 

Airport, Rocksprings, TX; 

And removing the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Canyon Ranch Airport, 

Sonora, TX. 

This action is the result of the 

instrument procedures at these airports 

being cancelled, and the airspace no 

longer being required.

27540 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 89 / Monday, May 9, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

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. 

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 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.

Air Plan Approval; OR; Oakridge PM10

Redesignation to Attainment and 

Maintenance Plan 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) proposes to redesignate 

the Oakridge, Oregon nonattainment 

area (Oakridge NAA or Oakridge area) to 

attainment for the 1987 National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard for 

particulate matter of 10 microns or less 

(PM10 NAAQS). EPA also proposes to 

approve the Oakridge PM10 maintenance 

plan for the area demonstrating 

continued compliance with the PM10

NAAQS through with the Lane Regional 

Clean Air Agency (LRAPA), submitted 

to EPA on January 13, 2022, along with 

the redesignation request for inclusion 

into the Oregon State Implementation 

Plan (SIP). EPA also proposes to 

approve revisions to LRAPA’s rules to 

reflect the redesignation. Additionally, 

EPA proposes to approve the PM10

motor vehicle emissions budgets 

included in the maintenance plan and 

inform the public that we are starting 

the adequacy process for the proposed 

motor vehicle emissions budgets, 

including a public comment period. 

Finally, EPA proposes to take final 

agency action on the wildfire 

exceptional event request submitted by 

ODEQ on July 22, 2021 and concurred 

on by EPA on April 1, 2022. EPA 

proposes these actions pursuant to the 

Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act).
