Authority for This Rulemaking The FAAs authority to issue rule 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 agencys 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 amends Class D and Class E airspace in the south Florida area, to support IFR
operations in the area.

History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register 86 FR 33581, June 25, 2021
for Docket No. FAA20210169 to amend Class D and Class E airspace in the south Florida area, by updating the names and geographic coordinates of several airports in the area, as well as the geographical coordinates of the Fort Lauderdale VOR/DME, and the QEEZY
LOM. This action proposed making an editorial change replacing the term Airport/Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement in the legal descriptions of associated Class D and E
airspace.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6003, 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 E airspace designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference This document amends 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 routes, and reporting points.

FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is published yearly and effective on September 15.

The Rule
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. 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 minimal. Since this is a routine matter that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

The FAA amends 14 CFR part 71 by amending Class D and Class E surface airspace, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface by updating the geographical coordinates of several airports and associated navigation aids in the south Florida area, and removing Class E
airspace designated as an extension to a Class C surface area. The FAA is updating the airport names of Miami Executive Airport formerly KendallTamiami Executive Airport, and Miami Opa-Locka Executive Airport formerly Opa Locka Airport, and Homestead ARB formerly Dade County-Homestead Regional Airport in the Class D
airspace, Class E surface airspace, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface. The FAA is amending the Miami, Opa Locka Executive Airport, FL Class D header, formerly Miami, Opa Locka Airport, FL
as well. In addition, the FAA is replacing the outdated term Airport/
Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement in the associated Class D
and E airspace legal descriptions for these airports. Also, Boca Raton Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface excludes the reference to Pompano Beach Class D
airspace, as this is unnecessary verbiage.
These changes are necessary for continued safety and management of IFR operations in the area.
Subsequent to publication of the NPRM the FAA found that the Fort Lauderdale E3 extensions are no longer required. This action removes the E3
Descriptor for Fort Lauderdale.
The Class D descriptor for Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport incorrectly listed the airport runways as 8/26. This action corrects the runways to 9/27.
In addition, the Class D descriptor for Boca Raton Airport was omitted from the NPRM. This action adds the Class D
descriptor for Boca Raton Airport, adding excluding that airspace within the Pompano Beach, Class D airspace area, when active.
Finally, the NPRM listed the geographic coordinates incorrectly for North Perry Airport, Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport and the Boca Raton Airport, as well as the line dividing Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport and Pompano Beach Airport. This action corrects these errors.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses
Environmental Review The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, paragraph 56.5a. This airspace action is not expected to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.
