Class E Airspace; Greenville, MS 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

airspace and Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

for Greenville Mid-Delta Airport, 

Greenville, MS, as the Greenville Very 

High Frequency Omnidirectional Range 

(VOR) has been decommissioned, and 

associated approaches cancelled. This 

action updates the airports name, and 

removes Class E airspace designated as 

an extension to Class D airspace. 

Controlled airspace is necessary for the 

safety and management of instrument 

flight rules (IFR) operations in the area. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, September

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 

agencies 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

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it amends 

airspace for Greenville Mid-Delta 

Airport, Greenville, MS, to support IFR 

operations in the area. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (87 FR 23151, April 19, 2022) 

for Docket No. FAA–2022–0433 to 

amend Class D airspace and Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface for Greenville 

Mid-Delta Airport (formerly Greenville 

Municipal Airport), Greenville, MS, by 

updating the airports name, amending 

the radii of the existing airspace and 

removing Class E airspace designated as 

an extension to Class D 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. 

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 became 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 D airspace and Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface for Greenville 

Mid-Delta Airport (formerly Greenville 

Municipal Airport), Greenville, MS, due 

to the decommissioning of the 

Greenville VOR. The Class D airspace is 

increased to a 4.4-mile radius, (from 4.0 

miles), and a 2-mile extension to the 

north and south of the airport are added. 

Additionally, the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface is increased to an 8.9-mile 

radius (from 7-miles), and the two 

extensions are eliminated. Also, the 

navigational aids are removed from the 

airport description, as they are no longer 

necessary. Also, this action updates the 

airport’s name and replaces the term 

Airport/Facility Directory with the term 

Chart Supplement in the Class D 

description. In addition, this action 

removes Class E airspace designated as 

an extension to Class D airspace, as the 

extensions are addressed in the Class D 

airspace description. 

Controlled airspace is necessary for 

the safety and management of 

instrument flight rules (IFR) operations 

in the area. 

Class D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in 

Paragraphs 5000, 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. 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 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
35644 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 113 / Monday, June 13, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

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 5–6.5a. 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.
