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 

Class E airspace for Edward F. Knapp 

State Park, Montpelier, VT, to support 

IFR operations in the area. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (87 FR 21821, April 13, 2022) 

for Docket No. FAA–2022–0376 to 

amend Class E surface airspace and 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface for Edward F. 

Knapp State Park, Montpelier, VT. 

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 Paragraphs 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 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 routes, and 

reporting points. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71 

by amending Class E surface airspace 

and Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface at 

Edward F. Knapp State Park, 

Montpelier, VT, due to the 

decommissioning of the Mount 

Mansfield NDB and cancellation of 

associated approaches. This action 

amends the north and south extensions, 

and eliminates the southwest extension. 

This action also removes the city name 

from the descriptions, and updates the 

airport’s geographic coordinates to 

coincide with the FAA’s database. In 

addition, this action removes all 

navigational aids from the Class E5 

description, as they are not necessary in 

defining the airspace. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraphs 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 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. 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 minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that only affects air traffic 

procedures an 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

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’

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.

Modification of Class E Airspace; 

Coeur D’Alene—Pappy Boyington 

Field, ID 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class 

E surface airspace, and the Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Coeur 

D’Alene—Pappy Boyington Field, ID. 

These airspace modifications support 

the addition of the RNAV (GPS) RWY 2 

instrument approach procedure (IAP), 

and the removal of the VOR/DME RWY 

2 IAP at the airport. Additionally, this 

action updates the legal description. 

The airport’s location and use of the 

term ‘‘Notice to Airmen’’ are not correct 

and require modification. These 

modifications will ensure the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, September 

8, 2022. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under Title 1 CFR part
