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 remove Class E surface area airspace at Farmington Regional 
Airport, Farmington, MO; and modify Class E airspace extending upward 
from 700 feet above the surface at Bill Martin Memorial Airport, Ava, 
MO; Cameron Memorial Airport, Cameron, MO; Chillicothe Municipal 
Airport, Chillicothe, MO; Farmington Regional Airport; and Festus 
Memorial Airport, Festus, MO.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed 
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as 
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the 
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing 
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are 
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal. 
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in 
triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to 
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with 
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the 
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2016-6986/
Airspace Docket No. 16-ACE-6.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped 
and returned to the commenter.

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by 
Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace 
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, and effective 
September 15, 2015. FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as listed 
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.9Z 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 removing Class E surface area airspace 
at Farmington Regional Airport, Farmington, MO, as the airspace is no 
longer needed. This proposal also would modify Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at the following 
airports:
    Within a 6.8-mile radius of Bill Martin Memorial Airport, Ava, MO, 
with a segment extending to from the 6.8-mile radius to the Dogwood VHF 
omnidirectional range collocated tactical air navigation (VORTAC) west/
northwest of the airport;
    Within a 6.4-mile radius of Cameron Municipal Airport, Cameron, MO;
    Within a 6.4-mile radius of Chillicothe Municipal Airport, 
Chillicothe, MO;
    Within a 6.4-mile radius of Farmington Regional Airport, 
Farmington, MO, with a segment extending from the 6.4-mile radius to 
11.5 miles southwest of the airport, and a segment extending from the 
6.4-mile radius to the Farmington VORTAC; and
    Within a 6.9-mile radius of Festus Memorial Airport, Festus, MO, 
with a

[[Page 41902]]

segment extending from the 6.9-mile radius to 8.8 miles south of the 
airport.
    Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of 
NDBs including the Cameron NDB, Perrine NDB, and Festus NDB; 
cancellation of NDB approaches; and implementation of RNAV procedures 
at the above airports. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety 
and management of the standard instrument approach procedures for IFR 
operations at the airports.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 and 
6005 of FAA Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015, and effective 
September 15, 2015, 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 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

    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.
