Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated August 8, 2019, and effective
September 15, 2019. FAA Order
7400.11D is publicly available as listed
in the
ADDRESSES
section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11D 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 E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.4-mile radius
(decreased from a 7-mile radius) of the
Harrison County Airport, Cadiz, OH;
removing the city associated with the
airport to comply with a change to FAA
Order 7400.2M, Procedures for
Handling Airspace Matters; updating
the geographic coordinates of the airport
to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database; and removing the
exclusionary language from the airspace
legal description as it is no longer
required;
Amending the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Noble County Airport,
Caldwell, OH, by updating the
geographic coordinates of the airport to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database; removing the city associated
with the airport to comply with a
change to FAA Order 7400.2M; and
removing the exclusionary language
from the airspace legal description as it
is no longer required;
And amending the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 6.4-mile radius
(decreased from a 7.5-mile radius) of
Cambridge Municipal Airport,
Cambridge, OH.
These actions are the result of an
airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the
Newcomerstown VOR, which provided
navigation information for the
instrument procedures at these airports,
as part of the VOR MON Program.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.11D, dated August 8, 2019,
and effective September 15, 2019, 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.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on
September 15.
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.

SUMMARY
: This action proposes to
amend the Class D airspace at Fort
Worth Spinks Airport, Fort Worth, TX,
and the Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Bourland Field, Fort Worth, TX, and
Mesquite Metro Airport, Mesquite, TX,
which are contained within the Dallas-
Fort Worth, TX, airspace legal
description, and Stephenville Clark
Regional Airport, Stephenville, TX. The
FAA is proposing these actions as the
result of airspace reviews caused by the
decommissioning of the Glen Rose VHF
omnidirectional range (VOR) navigation
aid, which provided navigation
information for the instrument
procedures at Bourland Field and
Stephenville Clark Regional Airport, as
part of the VOR Minimum Operational
Network (MON) Program, and to bring
the airspace legal description for
Mesquite Metro Airport into compliance
with FAA Order 7400.2M, Procedures
for Handling Airspace Matters. The
geographic coordinates for Fort Worth
Spinks Airport; Bridgeport Municipal
Airport, Bridgeport, TX; and
Stephenville Clark Regional Airport and
the names of Dallas-Fort Worth
International Airport, Dallas-Fort Worth,
TX; Lancaster Regional Airport,
Lancaster, TX; Bourland Field, and
Stephenville Clark Regional Airport
would also be updated to coincide with
the FAA’s aeronautical database.

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 the Class D airspace at Fort
Worth Spinks Airport, Fort Worth, TX,
and the Class E airspace extending

at Bourland Field, Fort Worth, TX, and
Mesquite Metro Airport, Mesquite, TX,

Airport, Stephenville, TX, to support
instrument flight rule operations at
these airports.

Proposed Amendment of Class E
Airspace; Sweetwater, TX
AGENCY
: Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION
: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
SUMMARY
: This action proposes to
amend Class E airspace areas extending
upward from 700 feet or more above the
surface of the earth at Avenger Field
Airport, Sweetwater, TX. The FAA is
proposing this action as the result of an
airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Sweetwater
non-directional radio beacon (NDB).
The geographic coordinates for the
airport and the name of the airport
would be updated to coincide with the
FAA’s aeronautical database. Airspace
redesign is necessary for the safety and
management of instrument flight rules
(IFR) operations at these airports.
