SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
FAA Order JO 7400.11E, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
effective September 15, 2020, listed Class A, B, C, D and E airspace
areas; air traffic service routes; and reporting points. Due to the
length of these descriptions, the FAA requested approval from the
Office of the Federal Register to incorporate the material by reference
in the Federal Aviation Regulations 14 CFR 71.1, effective September
15, 2020, through September 15, 2021. During the incorporation by
reference period, the FAA processed all proposed changes of the
airspace listings in FAA Order JO 7400.11E in full text as proposed
rule documents in the Federal Register. Likewise, all amendments of
these listings were published in full text as final rules in the
Federal Register. This rule reflects the periodic integration of these
final rule amendments into a revised edition of FAA Order JO 7400.11F,
Airspace Designations and Reporting Points. The Director of the Federal
Register has approved the incorporation by reference of the Order in 14
CFR 71.1, as of September 15, 2021, through September 15, 2022. This
rule also explains the procedures the FAA will use to amend the
airspace designations incorporated by reference in part 71 14 CFR 71.5,
71.15, 71.31, 71.33, 71.41, 71.51, 71.61, 71.71, and 71.901 are also
updated to reflect the incorporation by reference of FAA Order JO
7400.11F.
Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document incorporates by reference FAA Order JO 7400.11F,
Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and
effective September 15, 2021, in 14 CFR 71.1. The Order is publicly
available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this final rule. The
Order lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service

The Rule
This action amends 14 CFR part 71 to reflect the approval by the
Director of the Federal Register of the incorporation by reference of
the Order, effective September 15, 2021, through September 15, 2022.
During the incorporation by reference period, the FAA will continue to
process all proposed changes of the airspace listings in FAA Order JO
7400.11F in full text as proposed rule documents in the Federal
Register. Likewise, all amendments of these listings will be published
in full text as final rules in the Federal Register. The FAA will
periodically integrate all final rule amendments into a revised edition
of the Order, and submit the revised edition to the Director of the
Federal Register for approval for incorporation by reference in 14 CFR
71.1.
FAA Order JO 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 action: (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. This
action neither places any new restrictions or requirements on the
public, nor changes the dimensions or operation requirements of the
airspace listings incorporated by reference in part 71.
