E Airspace; Worcester, MA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D 

airspace, Class E surface airspace, and 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface for Worcester 

Regional Airport, Worcester, MA, as an 

airspace evaluation of the area 

determined additional airspace is 

necessary. Also, this action establishes 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface for UMass 

Memorial Medical Center—University 

Campus Heliport, to accommodate new 

area navigation (RNAV) global 

positioning system (GPS) standard 

instrument approach procedures 

(SIAPs) serving this heliport. Controlled 

airspace is necessary for the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

(IFR) operations in the area. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, August 12, 

2021. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51,

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 D and Class E airspace, and 

establishes Class E airspace in 

Worcester, MA, to support IFR 

operations in the area. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of prosed 

rulemaking in the Federal Register (86 

FR 10886 February 23, 2021) for Docket 

No. FAA–2020–1188 to amend Class D 

airspace and Class E surface airspace, 

for Worcester Regional Airport (formerly 

Worcester Municipal Airport), 

Worcester, MA, to amend the Class D 

and Class E surface areas, and amend 

the Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface, and 

update the airport’s name. In addition, 

the action proposed to establish Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at UMass 

Memorial Medical Center-University 

Campus Heliport. 

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 D and E airspace designations 

are published in Paragraphs 5000, 6002, 

and 6005, respectively 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 routes, and reporting points. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71 

by amending Class D and Class E 

surface airspace for Worcester Regional 

Airport (formerly Worcester Municipal 

Airport), Worcester, MA. This rule 

increases the radius of the Class D and 

Class E surface airspace to 5.1 miles 

(from 4.2 miles). Also, the airport’s 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface is increased 

to a 7.6-mile radius (from 6.7 miles). 

This action also updates the airport’s 

name. In addition, the FAA establishes 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface for UMass 

Memorial Medical Center—University 

Campus Heliport, Worcester, MA, 

providing the controlled airspace 

required to support the new RNAV

(GPS) standard instrument approach 

procedures for IFR operations at the 

heliport. This action also replaces the 

outdated term Airport/Facility Directory 

with the term Chart Supplement in the 

legal description of associated Class D 

and Class E airspace. 

Class D and E airspace designations 

are published in Paragraphs 5000, 6002, 

and 6005, respectively, 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. 

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. 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 an 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 5–6.5a. 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.
