Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 113 / Monday, June 13, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 35645 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

amends the Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to within a 6.4-mile (decreased from a 

6.5-mile) radius of Joseph A. Hardy 

Connellsville Airport, Connellsville, PA; 

removes the CAMOR LOM/NDB and 

associated extension from the airspace 

legal description as it is no longer 

needed; removes the Indian Head 

VORTAC and associated extension from 

the airspace legal description; and 

updates the name (previously 

Connellsville Airport) and geographic 

coordinates of the airport to coincide 

with the FAA’s aeronautical database. 

This action is the result of an airspace 

review caused by the decommissioning 

of the Indian Head VOR, which 

provided navigation information for the 

instrument procedures at this airport, as 

part of the VOR MON Program.

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.

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Honesdale, PA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

airspace in Honesdale, PA, as Spring 

Hill Airport has been abandoned and 

controlled airspace is no longer 

required, and removes Wilkes-Barre 

VORTAC from the description, as it is 

no longer necessary to describe the 

airspace. This action also updates 

Cherry Ridge Airport’s geographic 

coordinates to coincide with the FAA’s 

database. This action enhances the 

safety and management of controlled 

airspace within the national airspace 

system. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, September 

8, 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 

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 

Class E airspace in Honesdale, PA, to 

support IFR operations in the area. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (87 FR 22161, April 14, 2022) 

for Docket No. FAA–2022–0403 to 

amend Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

in Honesdale, PA, by removing Spring 

Hill Airport from the descriptor because 

the airport has been abandoned and 

airspace is no longer necessary. This 

action also removes Wilkes-Barre 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
35646 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 113 / Monday, June 13, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

VORTAC from the description, as it is 

no longer necessary, and updates the 

geographic coordinates of Cherry Ridge 

Airport to coincide with the FAA’s data 

base. This action enhances the safety 

and management of controlled airspace 

within the national airspace system. In 

addition, subsequent to the publication 

of the NPRM the FAA determined this 

action needed to be amended by 

replacing the term revocation of 

airspace with the term amendment of 

airspace. 

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.

The Rule

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

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated

procedures an air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial

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 5–6.5a. This airspace action 

is not expected to cause any potentially

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums 

and Obstacle Departure Procedures; 

Miscellaneous Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule amends, suspends, 

or removes Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and 

associated Takeoff Minimums and 

Obstacle Departure Procedures for 

operations at certain airports. These 

regulatory actions are needed because of 

the adoption of new or revised criteria, 

or because of changes occurring in the 

National Airspace System, such as the 

commissioning of new navigational 

facilities, adding new obstacles, or 

changing air traffic requirements. These 

changes are designed to provide for the 

safe and efficient use of the navigable 

airspace and to promote safe flight 

operations under instrument flight rules 

at the affected airports. 

DATES: This rule is effective June 13, 

2022. The compliance date for each 

SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, 

and ODP is specified in the amendatory 

provisions. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the 

regulations is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of June 13, 

2022.
