This action proposes to modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Kings Land O' Lakes Airport, Land O' Lakes, WI; Manitowish Waters Airport, Manitowish Waters, WI; Merrill Municipal Airport, Merrill, WI; Oconto-J. Douglas Bake Municipal Airport, Oconto, WI; Price County Airport, Phillips, WI; Platteville Municipal Airport, Platteville, WI; Solon Springs Municipal Airport, Solon Springs, WI; Richard I. Bong Airport, Superior, WI; and West Bend Municipal Airport, West Bend, WI. Decommissioning of non- directional radio beacons (NDBs), 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 these airports. Additionally, the geographic coordinates for Kings Land O' Lakes Airport; Manitowish Waters Airport; Oconto-J. Douglas Bake Municipal Airport; and Solon Springs Municipal Airport would be adjusted to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. The name of Oconto-J. Douglas Bake Municipal Airport (formerly Oconto Municipal Airport) also would be updated.

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 Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface at Kings Land O' Lakes Airport, Land O' Lakes, WI; 
Manitowish Waters Airport, Manitowish Waters, WI; Merrill Municipal 
Airport, Merrill, WI; Oconto-J. Douglas Bake Municipal Airport, Oconto, 
WI; Price County Airport, Phillips, WI; Platteville Municipal Airport, 
Platteville, WI; Solon Springs Municipal Airport, Solon Springs, WI; 
Richard I. Bong Airport, Superior, WI; and West Bend Municipal Airport, 
West Bend, 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-2016-8830/

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 6.4-mile radius (reduced from the 7-mile radius) of Kings 
Land O' Lakes Airport, Land O' Lakes, WI, and updating the geographic 
coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical 
database;
    Within a 6.3-mile radius (reduced from the 7-mile radius) of 
Manitowish Waters Airport, Manitowish, WI, and removing the 9-mile 
segment southeast of the airport, and updating the geographic 
coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's database;
    Within a 6.6-mile radius (reduced from the 7-mile radius) of 
Merrill Municipal Airport, Merrill, WI;
    By removing the 7-mile segment extending from the 6.3-mile radius 
southeast of Oconto-J. Douglas Bake Municipal Airport, Oconto, WI, and 
updating the name and geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide 
with the FAA's aeronautical database;
    By removing the 7-mile segments extending from the 6.6-mile radius 
southwest and northeast of Price County Airport, Phillips, WI;
    Within a 6.4-mile radius (reduced from the 7.4-mile radius) of 
Platteville Municipal Airport, Platteville, WI, with an extension 
southeast of the airport from the 6.4-mile radius to 10.2 miles;
    Within a 6.3-mile radius (reduced from the 6.6-mile radius) of 
Solon Springs Municipal Airport, Solon Springs, WI, and removing the 
7.4-mile segment north of the airport, and updating the geographic 
coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical 
database;
    Within an 8.5-mile radius (increased from a 6.7-mile radius) of 
Richard I. Bong Airport, Superior, WI, and removing the 12.2-mile 
segment southeast of the airport;
    And within a 6.8-mile radius (reduced from the 7.4-mile radius) of 
the West Bend Municipal Airport, West Bend,

[[Page 62046]]

WI, reducing existing segment extending from the 6.8-mile radius to 
11.4 miles southwest, and adding segments extending from the 6.8-mile 
radius to 7 miles northeast and 10 miles northwest of the airport.
    Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of 
NDBs, cancellation of NDB approaches, and implementation of RNAV 
procedures at these airports, and for the safety and management of the 
standard instrument approach procedures for IFR operations.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 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.
