Amendment of Class D and Class E 

Airspace; Joplin, MO 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class 

D and Class E airspace at Joplin, MO. 

This action as the result of an airspace 

review conducted as part of the 

decommissioning of the Neosho 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 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 D airspace, the Class E surface 

airspace, and the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Joplin Regional Airport, 

Joplin, MO, to support instrument flight 

rule operations at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (87 FR 11362; March 1, 2022) 

for Docket No. FAA–2022–0131 to 

amend the Class D and Class E airspace 

at Joplin, MO. Interested parties were 

invited to participate in this rulemaking 

effort by submitting written comments 

on the proposal to the FAA. One 

comment was received supporting the 

proposal. No response is provided. 

Class D and E airspace designations 

are published in paragraphs 5000, 6002, 

and 6005, respectively, 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 D and 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 D airspace at Joplin 

Regional Airport, Joplin, MO, by 

updating the geographic coordinates of 

the airport to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database; and updates the 

outdated term ‘‘Airport/Facility 

Directory’’ with ‘‘Chart Supplement’’; 

Amends the Class E surface airspace 

at Joplin Regional Airport by updating 

the geographic coordinates of the airport 

to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database; and updates the outdated term 

‘‘Airport/Facility Directory’’ with ‘‘Chart 

Supplement’’; 

And amends the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the at Joplin Regional Airport by 

removing the LUNNS LOM and 

associated extension from the airspace

legal description as they are no longer 

required; adds an extension 2.4 miles 

each side of the 182° bearing from the 

airport extending from the 6.8-mile 

radius of the airport to 7.1 miles south 

of the airport; adds an extension 3.8 

miles each side of the 318° bearing from 

the airport extending from the 6.8-mile 

radius of the airport to 12.5 miles 

northwest of the airport; 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 Neosho VOR, 

which provided navigation information 

for the instrument procedures this 

airport, 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 VOR Federal Airways 

V–7, V–9, and V–11; Eastern United 

States 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies VHF 

Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal 

airway V–11. This action is necessary 

due to the planned decommissioning of 

the Dyersburg, TN, (DYR); and the Holly 

Springs, MS (HLI) VOR Tactical Air 

Navigation (VORTAC) facilities, under 

the FAA’s VOR Minimum Operational 

Network (MON) program, which 

provide navigation guidance for 

segments of the routes. The FAA 

originally proposed to amend V–7 and 

V–9 with this rule but these routes 

require further review and are being 

delayed to a later date. 

DATES: Effective date 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 JO
