44058 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 182 / Thursday, September 21, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 

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 700 feet above the surface at 

Iowa County Airport, Mineral Point, WI. 

History 

The FAA published in the Federal 

Register (82 FR 17158, April 10, 2017) 

Docket No. FAA–2017–0181 a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Iowa 

County Airport, Mineral Point, WI. 

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 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, 

and effective September 15, 2017, 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 

7400.11B, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, 

and effective September 15, 2017. FAA 

Order 7400.11B is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists 

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

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

modifies Class E Airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet or more above the 

surface to within a 6.6-mile radius 

(reduced from a 7.2-mile radius) of Iowa 

County Airport, Mineral Point, WI. The 

5.2-mile wide segment from the Mineral 

Point NDB extending from the 7.2-mile 

radius of the airport to 7.4 miles 

northeast is removed, due to the 

decommissioning and cancellation of 

the Mineral Point NDB, and NDB 

approaches. This action enhances the 

safety and management of the standard 

instrument approach procedures for IFR 

operations at the airport. 

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 

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.

Amendment of Class D and Class E 

Airspace; Cheyenne, WY 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class D 

airspace, Class E surface area airspace, 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface, and Class E 

airspace extending upward from 1,200 

feet above the surface at Cheyenne 

Regional/Jerry Olson Field Airport 

(formerly, Cheyenne Airport), 

Cheyenne, WY. Airspace redesign is 

necessary due to the decommissioning 

of the Cheyenne instrument landing 

system (ILS) locator outer marker and 

removal of the Cheyenne VHF 

Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air 

Navigation (VORTAC) from the airspace 

description as the FAA transitions from 

ground-based navigation aids to 

satellite-based navigation. Also, this 

action updates the airport name and 

geographic coordinates for the 

associated Class D and E airspace areas 

to reflect the FAA’s current aeronautical 

database, and makes an editorial change 

in the legal description by replacing 

Airport/Facility Directory with the term 

Chart Supplement.

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 modifies 

Class D and E airspace at Cheyenne 

Regional/Jerry Olson Field Airport, 

Cheyenne, WY, in support of instrument 

flight rules operations at the airport. 

History 

On June 2, 2017, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register (82 FR 25561) 

Docket FAA–2016–9473, a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify 

Class D airspace, Class E surface area 

airspace, and Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 and 1,200 feet above 

the surface at Cheyenne Regional/Jerry 

Olson Field Airport, Cheyenne, WY. 

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 paragraph 5000, 6002, 

and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, and 

effective September 15, 2017, 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 the 

Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.11B, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, 

and effective September 15, 2017. FAA 

Order 7400.11B is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists 

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

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending Title 14 Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

by modifying Class D airspace, 

modifying Class E surface area airspace, 

and modifying Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 and 1,200 

feet above the surface at Cheyenne 

Regional/Jerry Olson Field Airport, 

Cheyenne, WY. This action is necessary 

due to the decommissioning of the 

Cheyenne ILS locator outer marker, 

removal of the Cheyenne VORTAC from 

the airspace description, and the 

availability of diverse departure 

headings as the FAA transitions from 

ground-based navigation aids to 

satellite-based navigation. Class D 

airspace is amended by removing the 

segment on each side of the Cheyenne 

ILS localizer east course extending from 

the 5.6-mile radius to the outer marker. 

Class E surface area airspace is 

amended to be coincident with the Class 

D airspace, and effective during the 

times the Class D is not in effect. 

Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface is 

amended to within an 8.1-mile radius 

(from 12.2 miles) of Cheyenne Regional/ 

Jerry Olson Field Airport, and within a 

9.1-mile radius of the airport from the 

240° bearing from the airport clockwise 

to the 300° bearing from the airport with 

a segment on each side of a 275° bearing 

from the airport extending from the 

airport 9.1-mile radius to 10.6 miles 

west of the airport, and with another 

segment on each side of the 028° bearing 

from the airport extending from the 

airport 8.1 mile radius to 10.8 miles 

northeast of the airport. The airspace 

extending upward from 1,200 feet above 

the surface would be modified to within 

a 43.6-mile radius of the airport (from a 

polygon of similar area) to provide 

controlled airspace for diverse 

departures until reaching the overlying 

Class E airspace. 

Also, the geographic coordinates of 

the airport are updated to match the 

FAA’s current aeronautical database. 

This action also updates the airport 

name to Cheyenne Regional/Jerry Olson 

Field Airport (from Cheyenne Airport). 

Finally, this action replaces the 

outdated term Airport/Facility Directory 

with the term Chart Supplement in the 

associated Class D and E airspace legal 

descriptions. 

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

procedures and air navigation, it is

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.
