Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 10, 2021, and effective 

September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 by: 

Amending the Class D airspace at La 

Crosse Regional Airport, La Crosse, WI, 

by adding an extension 1 mile each side 

of the 359° bearing from the La Crosse 

Regional: RWY 18–LOC extending from 

the 4.4-mile radius of the airport to 5.3 

miles north of the airport; adding an 

extension 1 mile each side of the 359° 

bearing from the airport extending from 

the 4.4-mile radius to 5.3 miles north of 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
36422 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 117 / Friday, June 17, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

the airport; adding an extension 1 mile 

each side of the 036° bearing from the 

airport extending from the 4.4-mile 

radius of the airport to 6.2 miles 

northeast of the airport; adding an 

extension 1 mile each side of the 119° 

bearing from the airport extending from 

the 4.4-mile radius of the airport to 5.7 

miles southeast of the airport; adding an 

extension 1 mile each side of the 216° 

bearing from the airport extending from 

the 4.4-mile radius of the airport to 5.6 

miles southwest of the airport; and 

replacing the outdated term ‘‘Notice to 

Airmen’’ with ‘‘Notice to Air Missions’’; 

Amending the Class E surface 

airspace at La Crosse Regional Airport 

by adding an extension 1 mile each side 

of the 359° bearing from the La Crosse 

Regional: RWY 18–LOC extending from 

the 4.4-mile radius of the airport to 5.3 

miles north of the airport; adding an 

extension 1 mile each side of the 359° 

bearing from the airport extending from 

the 4.4-mile radius to 5.3 miles north of 

the airport; adding an extension 1 mile 

each side of the 036° bearing from the 

airport extending from the 4.4-mile 

radius of the airport to 6.2 miles 

northeast of the airport; adding an 

extension 1 mile each side of the 119° 

bearing from the airport extending from 

the 4.4-mile radius of the airport to 5.7 

miles southeast of the airport; adding an 

extension 1 mile each side of the 216° 

bearing from the airport extending from 

the 4.4-mile radius of the airport to 5.6 

miles southwest of the airport; removing 

the 3,200 feet MSL restriction as it is not 

required; and replacing the outdated 

term ‘‘Notice to Airmen’’ with ‘‘Notice 

to Air Missions’’; 

Removing the Class E airspace 

designated as an extension to Class D 

and Class E surface areas at La Crosse 

Regional Airport as these extensions 

have been incorporated into the Class D 

airspace and Class E surface airspace 

and this airspace is no longer required; 

And amending the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at La Crosse Regional 

Airport by adding an extension 1 mile 

each side of the 359° bearing from the 

La Crosse Regional: RWY 18–LOC 

extending from the 6.9-mile radius of 

the airport to 7.2 miles north of the 

airport. 

This action is due to an airspace 

review conducted as part of the 

decommissioning of the La Crosse VOR, 

which provided navigation information 

for the instrument procedures at these 

airports, as part of the VOR MON 

Program. 

Class D and E airspace designations 

are published in paragraphs 5000, 6002, 

6004, 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. 

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 

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.

Proposed Amendment of Class E 

Airspace; Erwin, NC 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Harnett Regional Jetport, Erwin, NC, 

by updating the airport’s name and 

geographic coordinates. This action 

would also eliminate the Harnett nondirectional beacon from the airspace 

description, as an airspace evaluation 

found it unnecessary. Controlled 

airspace is necessary for the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

(IFR) operations in the area.
