This action proposes to amend Class D airspace, Class E airspace designated as a surface area, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Chippewa Valley Regional Airport, Eau Claire, WI. The FAA is proposing this action as a result of an airspace review caused by the decommissioning of the Eau Claire nondirectional radio beacon (NDB)/outer compass locator (LOM). The name and geographic coordinates of the Chippewa Valley Regional Airport and the name of the May Clinic Health System-Eau Claire Heliport would also be updated 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 amend Class D airspace, Class E airspace designated 
as a surface area,

[[Page 25970]]

and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface 
at Chippewa Valley Regional Airport, Eau Claire, WI, to support 
instrument flight rule operations at this airport.

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-2018-0236;

    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 for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend 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 Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by:
    Amending the Class D airspace at Chippewa Valley Regional Airport, 
Eau Claire, WI, by adding an extension 1.0 mile each side of the 
215[deg] bearing from the airport from the 4.3-mile radius to 4.5 miles 
south of the airport; adding an extension 1.0 mile each side of the 
224[deg] bearing from the Chippewa Valley RGNL: RWY 22 LOC from the 
4.3-mile radius to 4.5 miles south of the airport; removing the name of 
the city associated with the airport in the airspace legal description 
to comply with a change to FAA Order 7400.2L, Procedures for Handling 
Airspace Matters; and amending the part-time language from ``The 
effective date and time will thereafter be continuously published in 
advance by Notice to Airmen.'' to ``The effective date and time will 
thereafter be continuously published in the Chart Supplement.'' in 
compliance with FAA Order 7400.2L;
    Amending the Class E airspace designated as a surface area to 
within a 4.3-mile radius (reduced from a 4.4-mile radius) of the 
Chippewa Valley Regional Airport (formerly Eau Claire County Airport); 
removing the Eau Claire County Airport Localizer and the associated 
extension from the airspace legal description; adding an extension 1.0 
mile each side of the 215[deg] bearing from the airport from the 4.3-
mile radius to 4.5 miles south of the airport; adding an extension 1.0 
mile each side of the 224[deg] bearing from the Chippewa Valley RGNL: 
RWY 22 LOC from the 4.3-mile radius to 4.5 miles south of the airport; 
adding part-time language to the airspace legal description; and 
updating the name and geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide 
with the FAA's aeronautical database; and
    Amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface to within a 6.8-mile radius (increased from a 6.7-mile 
radius) at Chippewa Valley Regional Airport; removing the extension to 
the southwest of the airport associated with the localizer; amending 
the extension north of the airport to within 4.0 miles (increased from 
3.1 miles) each side of the Eau Claire VORTAC 004[deg] radial from the 
6.8-mile radius to 7.0 miles north of the airport;, and updating the 
geographic coordinates of Chippewa Valley Regional Airport and the name 
of Mayo Clinic Health System-Eau Claire Heliport (formerly Luther 
Hospital) to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    This action is necessary due to an airspace review caused by the 
decommissioning of the Eau Claire NDB/LOM.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraph 
5000, 6002, and 6005, respectively, 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 D and 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.
