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 is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 by:
Amending the Class D airspace to within a 4.3-mile increased from a 4.2mile radius of Ardmore Municipal Airport, Ardmore, OK; updating the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical database; and replacing the outdated term Airport/Facility Directory with Chart Supplement;
Amending the Class E airspace area designated as an extension to Class D
airspace at Ardmore Municipal Airport within 1.4 increased from 1.3 miles each side of the Ardmore VORTAC 050
previously 056 radial extending from the 4.3-mile increased from 4.2-mile radius of airport to 7.4 decreased from 8.4 miles southwest of airport; updating the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical database; and replacing the outdated

term Airport/Facility Directory with Chart Supplement;
And amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Ardmore Municipal Airport by adding an extension within 1.5 miles each side of the Ardmore VORTAC 050 radial extending from the 6.8-mile radius of the airport to 8.4
miles southwest of the airport; within 1.1 miles each side of the 315 bearing from the airport extending from the 6.8mile radius of the airport to 7 increased from 6.9 miles northwest of the airport;
updating the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical database; and removing the extension northwest of the Ardmore VORTAC as it is no longer required.
These actions are the result of airspace reviews caused by the decommissioning of the Arbuckle NDB
which provided guidance to instrument procedures at these airports.
Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000, 6004, and 6005, respectively, 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 D and E airspace designations 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,
