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 

Emmetsburg Municipal Airport, 

Emmetsburg, 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 7776; February 10, 

2022) for Docket No. FAA–2022–0043 to 

amend the Class E airspace at 

Emmetsburg, 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 

at Emmetsburg Municipal Airport, 

Emmetsburg, IA, by removing the 

Emmetsburg 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 caused by the 

decommissioning of the Emmetsburg 

NDB which provided navigation

Designations and Reporting Points, is

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.

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 the 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 modifies the 

route structure as necessary to preserve 

the safe and efficient flow of air traffic 

within the National Airspace System. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for 

Docket No. FAA–2021–0821 in the 

Federal Register (86 FR 60418; 

November 2, 2021), amending Jet Route 

J–8 and VOR Federal airway V–272; 

establishing RNAV route T–420; and 

removing Jet Route J–142 and VOR 

Federal airways V–304 and V–390. The 

proposed amendment actions were due 

to the planned decommissioning of the 

VOR portion of the Borger, TX, 

VORTAC NAVAID. Interested parties 

were invited to participate in this 

rulemaking effort by submitting written 

comments on the proposal. No 

comments were received. 

Subsequent to the NPRM, the FAA 

published a rule for Docket No. FAA– 

2021–0632 in the Federal Register (87 

FR 24860; April 27, 2022), amending J– 

8 by removing the airway segment 

overlying the Kingfisher, OK, VORTAC 

between the Borger, TX, VORTAC and 

the Springfield, MO, VORTAC. That 

airway amendment is effective July 14, 

2022, also and is included in this rule.
