This action proposes to modify Class D airspace, Class E airspace designated as a surface area, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, and remove Class E airspace designated as an extension of Class D airspace at Kenosha Regional Airport, Kenosha, WI. The FAA is proposing this action due to the decommissioning of the Kenosha VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) facilities, which provided navigation guidance for portions of the affected routes. This action would enhance the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at this airport. Additionally, the airport name and geographic coordinates would be adjusted in the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

Proposed Amendment of Class D and E Airspace; Kenosha, WI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action proposes to modify Class D airspace, Class E 
airspace designated as a surface area, and Class E airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface, and remove Class E airspace 
designated as an extension of Class D airspace at Kenosha Regional 
Airport, Kenosha, WI. The FAA is proposing this action due to the 
decommissioning of the Kenosha VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) 
facilities, which provided navigation guidance for portions of the 
affected routes. This action would enhance the safety and management of 
instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at this airport. Additionally, 
the airport name and geographic coordinates would be adjusted in the 
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to 
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

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 D airspace, Class E airspace designated as a 
surface area, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface, as well as remove Class E airspace designated as an 
extension to Class D airspace at Kenosha Regional Airport, Kenosha, WI, 
to enhance the safety and management of IFR operations at this 
airport..

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed 
rulemaking

[[Page 22923]]

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

    All communications received before the specified closing date for 
comments will be considered before taking action on the proposed rule. 
The proposal contained in this notice may be changed in light of the 
comments received. A report summarizing each substantive public contact 
with FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the 
docket.

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by 
Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace 
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective 
September 15, 2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed 
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A 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 D airspace to within a 4.2-mile radius 
(increased from a 4.1-mile radius) of Kenosha Regional Airport, 
Kenosha, WI;
    Modifying the Class E airspace designated as a surface area to 
within a 4.2-mile radius (increased from a 4.1-mile radius) of Kenosha 
Regional Airport, and removing the Kenosha VOR and the 7-mile extension 
northeast of the airport;
    Removing the Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D 
airspace at Kenosha Regional Airport; and
    Modifying the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface to within a 6.7-mile radius (reduced from a 7-mile radius) 
of Kenosha Regional Airport (formerly Kenosha Municipal Airport), with 
an extension from the Kenosha Localizer to 10 miles west of the 
localizer, and updating the name and geographic coordinates of the 
airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of 
the Kenosha VOR and to bring the airspace in compliance with FAA Order 
JO 7400.2K, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters, at this airport. 
Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of 
standard instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at the 
airport.
    Additionally, this action would replace the outdated term Airport/
Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement in the Class D and 
Class E surface area airspace legal descriptions.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraph 
5000, 6002, 6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11A, dated 
August 3, 2016, and effective September 15, 2016, 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.
