This action proposes to modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Langlade County Airport, Antigo, WI; John F. Kennedy Memorial Airport, Ashland, WI; Black River Falls Area Airport, Black River Falls, WI; Cable Union Airport, Cable Union, WI; Cumberland Municipal Airport, Cumberland, WI; Eagle River Union Airport, Eagle River, WI; Sawyer County Airport, Hayward, WI; and Wausau Downtown Airport, Wausau, WI. Decommissioning of non-directional radio beacon (NDB), cancellation of NDB approaches, and implementation of area navigation (RNAV) procedures have made this action necessary for the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the above airports. This action also proposes to remove Class E surface area airspace at Wausau Municipal Airport (Wausau Downtown Airport), Wausau, WI, as a review has determined that the airport no longer meets the requirements for this airspace. Additionally, the geographic coordinates at Langlade County Airport, John F. Kennedy Memorial Airport, Cumberland Municipal Airport, Eagle River Union Airport, and Wausau Downtown Airport (formerly Wausau Municipal Airport) would be adjusted to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical database.

SUMMARY: This action proposes to modify Class E airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Langlade County Airport, 
Antigo, WI; John F. Kennedy Memorial Airport, Ashland, WI; Black River 
Falls Area Airport, Black River Falls, WI; Cable Union Airport, Cable 
Union, WI; Cumberland Municipal Airport, Cumberland, WI; Eagle River 
Union Airport, Eagle River, WI; Sawyer County Airport, Hayward, WI; and 
Wausau Downtown Airport, Wausau, WI. Decommissioning of non-directional 
radio beacon (NDB), cancellation of NDB approaches, and implementation

Class E surface area airspace at Wausau Municipal Airport (Wausau 
Downtown Airport), Wausau, WI, as a review has determined that the 
airport no longer meets the requirements for this airspace. 
Additionally, the geographic coordinates at Langlade County Airport, 
John F. Kennedy Memorial Airport, Cumberland Municipal Airport, Eagle

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 Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface at Langlade County Airport, Antigo, WI; John F. Kennedy 
Memorial Airport, Ashland, WI; Black River Falls Area Airport, Black 
River Falls, WI; Cable Union Airport, Cable Union, WI; Cumberland 
Municipal Airport, Cumberland, WI; Eagle River Union Airport, Eagle 
River, WI; Sawyer County Airport, Hayward, WI; and Wausau Downtown 
Airport, Wausau, WI; and remove Class E surface area airspace at Wausau 
Downtown Airport (formerly Wausau Municipal Airport), Wausau, WI.

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-2016-8557/
Airspace Docket No. 16-AGL-17.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped 
and returned to the commenter.

Internet at http://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking 
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's Web page at http://www.regulations.gov.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any 
comments received, and any final disposition in person in the Dockets 
Office (see the ADDRESSES section for the address and phone number) 
between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal 
holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal

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 modifying Class E airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface:
    Within a 6.5-mile radius of Langlade County Airport, Antigo, WI, 
and updating the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with 
the FAA's aeronautical database;
    Within a 7.0-mile radius of John F. Kennedy Memorial Airport, 
Ashland, WI, with an extension southwest of the airport from the 7.0-
mile radius to 8.2 miles, and updating the geographic coordinates of 
the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
    Within a 7.1-mile radius of Black River Falls Area Airport, Black 
River Falls, WI, with an extension southwest of the airport from the 
7.1-mile radius to 11.7 miles, with an extension northeast of the 
airport from the 7.1-mile radius to 11.4 miles;
    Within a 6.9-mile radius of Cable Union Airport, Cable Union, WI;
    Within a 6.4-mile radius of Cumberland Municipal Airport, 
Cumberland, WI, with extensions from the 6.4-mile radius to 10.2 miles 
west and east; and updating the geographic coordinates of the airport 
to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
    Within a 6.5-mile radius of Eagle River Union Airport, Eagle River, 
WI, with an extension southwest of the airport from the 6.5-mile radius 
to 9.2 miles, and updating the geographic coordinates of the airport to 
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
    Within a 6.6-mile radius of Sawyer County Airport, Hayward, WI, 
with an extension northeast of the airport from the 6.6-mile radius to 
8.5 miles;
    And within a 6.8-mile radius of Wausau Downtown Airport, Wausau, 
WI, and updating the name and geographic coordinates of the airport to 
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    The Class E airspace designated as a surface area at Wausau 
Municipal Airport, Wausau, WI, would be removed as the airport no 
longer meets the requirements for this airspace.
    Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of 
NDBs, 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 paragraphs 6002 and 
6005, respectively, 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,

final regulatory action.
