Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 198 / Monday, October 16, 2017 / Proposed Rules 48011 

document. FAA Order 7400.11B 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 the Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface to within a 6.4- 

mile radius (reduced from a 7-mile 

radius) of Northeast Iowa Regional 

Airport (previously Charles City 

Municipal Airport), Charles City, IA, 

and updating the name of the airport to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 

Airspace reconfiguration is necessary 

due to cancellation of the instrument 

approach procedures associated with 

the decommissioned Charles City NDB, 

and to bring the airspace in compliance 

with FAA Order 7400.2L, Procedures for 

Handling Airspace Matters. Controlled 

airspace is necessary for the safety and 

management of standard instrument 

approach procedures for IFR operations 

at this airport. 

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. 

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.

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

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 

proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.11B 

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 to modify the 

descriptions of VOR Federal airways V– 

20, V–31, V–33, V–308, and V–433; and 

to remove V–379; in the Vicinity of 

Nottingham, MD, due to the planned 

decommissioning of the Nottingham, 

MD, VORTAC. The proposed route 

changes are described below. 

V–20: V–20 currently extends 

between McAllen, TX, and Nottingham, 

MD. The airway segments between 

Richmond, VA, and Nottingham, MD, 

would be removed. The amended route 

would, therefore, extend between 

McAllen, TX, and Richmond, VA. 

V–31: V–31 currently extends 

between Patuxent River, MD, and 

Buffalo, NY. This proposal would 

remove the airway segment between 

Patuxent River, MD, and Nottingham, 

MD. The amended route would extend 

between Baltimore, MD, and Buffalo, 

NY. 

V–33: V–33 currently extends 

between Harcum, VA, and Buffalo, NY. 

This action proposes to remove the 

segments between Harcum, VA, and 

Baltimore, MD. The amended route 

would extend between Baltimore, MD, 

and Buffalo, NY. 

V–308: V–308 currently extends 

between Nottingham, MD, and Norwich, 

CT. This action would remove the route 

segment between Nottingham, MD, and 

Waterloo, DE. The amended route 

would extend between Waterloo, DE, 

and Norwich, CT. 

V–379: V–379 currently extends 

between Nottingham, MD, and Smyrna, 

DE. V–379 would be removed in its 

entirety. 

V–433: V–433 currently extends 

between Nottingham, MD, and 

Syracuse, NY. The segments between 

Nottingham, MD, and Dupont, DE, 

would be removed. The amended route 

would extend between Dupont, DE, and 

Syracuse, NY. 

Domestic VOR Federal airways are 

published in paragraph 6010(a) 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 VOR Federal airways listed in 

this document would be subsequently 

published 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. It, 

therefore: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant 

rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (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, will 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.

burden on U.S. taxpayers, add undue 

complexity to the Federal tax laws, or 

exceed the statutory authority of the 

Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In an 

interim Report to the President dated 

June 22, 2017, Treasury identified eight 

such regulations. Executive Order 13789 

further directs the Secretary to submit to
