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 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.

History

    On September 8, 2016, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), (81 FR 62044) Docket No. FAA-
2016-8830, to modify Class E airspace

[[Page 2874]]

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. 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 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15, 
2016, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 
airspace designation 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 7400.11A, 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 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 at the following airports:
    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, 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, or implementation of RNAV 
standard instrument procedures at these airports. Controlled airspace 
is necessary for the safety and management of the standard instrument 
approach procedures for IFR operations at these airports.

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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does 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.
