Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 111 / Friday, June 11, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 31105 

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 the 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Dubois 

Regional Airport, Dubois, PA, to support 

instrument flight rule operations at this 

airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (86 FR 17754; April 6, 2021) for 

Docket No. FAA–2021–0221 to amend 

the Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface at 

Dubois Regional Airport, Dubois, PA. 

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 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, 

and effective September 15, 2020, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.11E, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, 

and effective September 15, 2020. FAA 

Order 7400.11E is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

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 7.3-mile (decreased from a 

9.2-mile) radius of Dubois Regional 

Airport; adds an extension 2.1 miles 

either side of the 062° bearing from the 

Dubois RGNL: RWY 25–LOC extending 

from the 7.3-mile radius of Dubois 

Regional Airport to 9.2 miles northeast 

of the Dubois Regional Airport; and 

updates the name of Penn Highlands 

Healthcare-Dubois Heliport (previously 

Penn Highlands Healthcare-Dubois 

Heliport Point In Space Coordinates) to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database and the airspace reference 

point. 

This action is the result of an airspace 

review caused by the decommissioning 

of the Clarion VOR, which provided 

navigation information for the 

instrument procedures these airports, as 

part of the VOR MON Program. 

FAA Order 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 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.
