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 establishing Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface within a 6.4-mile 

radius of Vinita Municipal Airport, 

Vinita, OK. 

This action supports the 

establishment of public instrument 

procedures at Vinita Municipal Airport. 

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 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
35692 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 113 / Monday, June 13, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

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.
