This action modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Galt Field Airport, Greenwood/Wonder Lake, IL. This action is required due to the decommissioning of the Kenosha VHF omnidirectional range (VOR), which provided navigation guidance for the standard instrument approach procedures to this airport. The Kenosha VOR is being decommissioned as part of the VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program. This action enhances the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport. Additionally, the geographic coordinates of the airport are adjusted to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Greenwood/Wonder Lake, IL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Galt Field Airport, Greenwood/Wonder
Lake, IL. This action is required due to the decommissioning of the
Kenosha VHF omnidirectional range (VOR), which provided navigation
guidance for the standard instrument approach procedures to this
airport. The Kenosha VOR is being decommissioned as part of the VOR
Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program. This action enhances the
safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at
the airport. Additionally, the geographic coordinates of the airport
are adjusted to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, March 29, 2018. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by reference action under Title 1,
Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual revision of
FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

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 Galt Field Airport, Greenwood/Wonder Lake, IL, to support
standard instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at the
airport.

[[Page 60109]]

History

On June 20, 2017, the FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) in the Federal Register (82 FR 28035) for Docket No. FAA-2017-
0459 to modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Galt Field Airport, Greenwood/Wonder Lake, IL.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
Subsequent to publication, the FAA determined that the exclusionary
language contained in the Class E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface airspace description is no longer required and
has been removed in this action.
Except for an editorial change and the change noted above, this
rule is the same as published in the NPRM.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017, 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.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

This document amends FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11B 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 to within a 6.4-mile radius (reduced from an 8.8-mile
radius) of Galt Field Airport, and updates the geographic coordinates
of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
The name of the city associated with the airport has been removed
from the airspace description to comply with a recent change to FAA
Order 7400.2L, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters. Except for the
change noted above, the action in this rule is the same as published in
the NPRM.
Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of
the Kenosha VOR as part of the VOR MON Program and to bring the
airspace in compliance with FAA Order 7400.2L, Procedures for Handling
Airspace Matters, at this airport. Controlled airspace is necessary for
safety and the management of IFR operations at the airport.

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.
