Proposed Amendment of Class E
Airspace; Monroe, NC
AGENCY
: Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION
: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
SUMMARY
: This action proposes to
amend Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
for Charlotte-Monroe Executive Airport,
Monroe, NC. The FAA is proposing this
action as a result of the Charlotte Class
B Biennial Review. This action would
also update the airports name to
Charlotte-Monroe Executive Airport,
(formerly Monroe Airport). In addition,
this action would also update the
geographic coordinates of the airport to
coincide with the FAA’s database.
Controlled airspace is necessary for the
safety and management of instrument
flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.

Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated July 21, 2020, and effective
September 15, 2020. FAA Order
7400.11E is publicly available as listed
in the
ADDRESSES
section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.
The Proposal
The FAA proposes an amendment to
14 CFR part 71 to establish Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Charlotte-
Monroe Executive Airport, Monroe, NC,
by increasing the radius to 9.0 miles,
(formerly 6.3 miles). In addition, this
action would update the airport name to
Charlotte-Monroe Executive Airport
(formerly Monroe Airport) and update
the geographical coordinates to coincide
with the FAA’s database.
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020,
and effective September 15, 2020, 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
proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical
regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to
keep them operationally current. 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
proposed rule, when promulgated, will
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.

Proposed Revocation of Class E
Airspace and Amendment of Class E
Airspace; Peebles and West Union, OH
AGENCY
: Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION
: Notice of proposed rulemaking

Peebles, OH; and amend the Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Alexander
Salamon Airport, West Union, OH. The
FAA is proposing this action as the
result of airspace reviews caused by the
decommissioning of the West Union
non-federal non-directional beacon

the Alexander Salamon Airport would
also be updated to coincide with the
FAA’s aeronautical database.
