14 CFR Part 71 

[Docket No. FAA–2017–0188; Airspace 

Docket No. 17–AGL–8] 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Brainerd, MN 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E 

airspace extending up to 700 feet above 

the surface at Brainerd Lakes Regional 

Airport (formerly Brainerd-Crow Wing 

County Regional Airport), Brainerd, 

MN. Airspace reconfiguration is 

necessary due to the decommissioning 

of the Brainerd (BRD) VHF 

omnidirectional radio range tactical air 

navigation aid (VORTAC), and 

cancellation of the VOR approach. This 

action also updates the geographic 

coordinates of the airport and the 

airport name in the Class E airspace. 

Additionally, an editorial change is 

made to the Class E surface area 

airspace legal description replacing 

Airport/Facility Directory with the term 

Chart Supplement. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, December 7, 

2017. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under Title 1, Code of 

Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to 

the annual revision of FAA Order 

7400.11 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

Points, and subsequent amendments can

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 E airspace at Brainerd Lakes 

Regional Airport, Brainerd, MN, to 

support instrument flight rules 

operations at the airport. 

History 

The FAA published in the Federal 

Register a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) (82 FR 22091, May 

12, 2017) Docket No. FAA–2017–0188 

to modify Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

and associated Class E airspace at 

Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport, 

Brainerd, MN. An editorial correction is 

made to the heading for para 6002, 

removing excess language. 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 6002 and 6005 

respectfully 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 above the surface 

within a 7.1-mile (from a 7.9-mile) 

radius of Brainerd Lakes Regional 

Airport (formerly Brainerd-Crow Wing 

County Regional Airport), MN, with a 

segment extending 2 miles each side of 

the 233° bearing extending from the 7.1- 

mile radius to 9.1 miles southwest of the 

airport. 

Airspace reconfiguration is necessary 

due to the decommissioning of the 

Brainerd VORTAC and cancellation of 

the VOR approaches, and for the safety 

and management of the standard 

instrument approach procedures for IFR 

operations at the airport. This action 

also updates the geographic coordinates 

of the airport. 

Additionally, this action replaces the 

outdated term Airport/Facility Directory 

with the term Chart Supplement in 

Class E surface area airspace, as well as 

updates the airport name from BrainerdCrow Wing County Regional Airport to 

Brainerd Lakes Regional 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.
