Proposed Amendment of Class E 

Airspace; Burlington, WI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

modify Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Burlington Municipal Airport, 

Burlington, WI. This action is necessary 

due to the decommissioning of the 

Burbun VHF omnidirectional range 

(VOR), and cancellation of the VOR 

approach procedure, and would 

enhance the safety and management of 

instrument flight rules (IFR) operations 

at the airport, as the FAA transitions to 

performance-based navigation as part of 

the Next Generation Air Transportation 

System (NextGen) to accommodate new 

standard instrument approach 

procedures for instrument flight rules 

(IFR) operations at the airport. This 

action would also update the geographic 

coordinates of the airport. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before October 10, 2017.

proposal to the U.S. Department of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The request to decommission the 

Burbun VOR was requested by the Plans 

and Program office in the FAA’s Central 

Service Center. The Burbun VOR was 

one of the VORs on the list to be 

decommissioned within the VOR 

Minimum Operating Network published 

in the Federal Register (81 FR 48694, 

July 26, 2016). As part of NextGen, the 

number of conventional navaids would 

be reduced while more efficient area 

navigation (RNAV) routes and 

procedures are implemented throughout 

the National Airspace System. 

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 would 

amend Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Burlington Municipal Airport, 

Burlington, WI.

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 3, 2016, and effective 

September 15, 2016. FAA Order 

7400.11A is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11A 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 Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 by modifying Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface within a 6.4-mile 

radius (reduced from a 7.4-mile radius) 

of Burlington Municipal Airport, 

Burlington, WI. Airspace redesign is 

necessary due to the decommissioning 

of the Burbun VOR, cancellation of the 

VOR approach and updating the 

geographic coordinates of the airport to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. This action would enhance 

the safety and management of the 

standard instrument approach 

procedures for (RNAV) IFR operations at 

the airport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, 

and effective September 15, 2016, 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. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current, is noncontroversial 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 

proposed 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.
