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 5–6.5a. 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.

Docket No. 17–AGL–13] 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Medford, WI and Waupaca, WI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Taylor County 

Airport, Medford, WI and Waupaca 

Municipal Airport, Waupaca, WI, to 

accommodate new standard instrument 

approach procedures for instrument 

flight rules (IFR) operations at these 

airports. This action is necessary due to 

the decommissioning of the Medford 

and Waupaca non directional radio 

beacons (NDB), and cancellation of NDB 

approaches. Also, an error in the 

geographic coordinates of Waupaca 

Municipal Airport and Taylor County 

Airport are corrected. This action 

enhances the safety and management of 

IFR operations at these airports. 

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.

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 197 / Friday, October 13, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 47613 

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 would 

amend controlled airspace to support 

IFR operations at Taylor County and 

Waupaca Municipal airports. 

History 

The FAA published in the Federal 

Register a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) (82 FR 26408, June 

7, 2017) Docket No. FAA–2017–0388 to 

modify Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Taylor County Airport, Medford, 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. Subsequent to 

publication, the FAA found the 

geographic coordinates for Waupaca 

Municipal Airport, Waupaca, WI, were 

incorrect and makes the correction in 

this rule. 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 above the surface 

from the 6.8-mile radius of Taylor 

County Airport, Medford, WI by 

removing the segment within 2.7 miles 

each side of the 162° bearing from the 

airport extending from the 6.8-mile 

radius to 7 miles southeast of the airport 

due to the decommissioning of the 

Medford NDB and cancellation of the 

NDB approach. 

This action also modifies Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Waupaca 

Municipal Airport, Waupaca, WI to 

within a 6.6-mile (from a 6.4-mile) 

radius of the airport and removes the 

segment within 2.7 miles each side of 

the 118° bearing from the airport, 

extending from the 6.4-mile radius to 7 

miles southeast of the airport due to the 

decommissioning of the Waupaca NDB 

and cancellation of the NDB approach. 

Also, the geographic coordinates are 

corrected to be in concert with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database. 

This action enhances the safety and 

management of standard instrument 

approach procedures for IFR operations 

at these airports. 

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.
