Docket No. 17–AGL–5] 

Amendment of Class E Airspace, for 

Stevens Point, WI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Stevens Point 

Municipal Airport, Stevens Point, WI. 

Airspace reconfiguration is necessary 

due to the decommissioning of the 

Stevens Point co-located VHF 

omnidirectional range tactical air 

navigation system (VORTAC) and 

cancellation of the VOR approaches. 

This action enhances the safety and 

management of standard instrument 

approach procedures for instrument 

flight rules (IFR) operations at the 

airport. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 1, 

2018. 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.

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 to support standard instrument 

approach procedures for IFR operations 

at the airport. 

History 

The FAA published in the Federal 

Register a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (82 FR 32151, July 12, 2017) 

Docket No. FAA–2017–0143 to modify 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Stevens 

Point Municipal Airport, Stevens Point, 

WI. The Stevens Point VORTAC has 

been out of service since 2012 due to 

extreme fluctuations and out-oftolerance structure. 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 above the surface 

within a 6.6-mile (from a 6.5-mile) 

radius of Stevens Point Municipal 

Airport, Stevens Point, WI. The 

segments that extended 1.8 miles each 

side of the Stevens Point VORTAC 

extending from the 6.5-mile radius to 7 

miles northeast, east, and southwest of 

the VORTAC, would be removed due to 

the decommissioning of the VORTAC 

and cancellation of the VOR 

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 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES
50504 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 210 / Wednesday, November 1, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 

‘‘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.
