Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 12 / Thursday, January 21, 2021 / Rules and Regulations Authority for This Rulemaking The FAAs authority to issue rules 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 the Class D airspace, Class E surface airspace, Class E airspace area designated as an extension to Class D
and Class E surface airspace, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Manhattan Regional Airport, Manhattan, KS;
amends the Class D and Class E surface airspace at Marshall AAF, Fort Riley, KS; and establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Marshall AAF and Freeman Field, Junction City, KS, to support instrument flight rule operations at these airports.

History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register 85 FR 52289; August 25, 2020
for Docket No. FAA20200759 to amend the Class D and Class E airspace at Marshall AAF, Fort Riley, KS, and Manhattan Regional Airport, Manhattan, KS, and establish Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Marshall AAF and Freeman Field, Junction City, KS.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. One comment was received and the following is provided in response.
The person submitting the comment incorrectly interpreted the NPRM and presumed that the proposed airspace changes would lower the altitudes and change the current flight paths that the aircraft flying to and from Marshall AAF
and Manhattan Regional Airport are currently utilizing; however, this is not the case. These airspace changes are updating the airspace and bringing it into compliance with current FAA
orders and directives, but are not changing the flight paths or altitudes that the aircraft are currently using. As neither the altitudes nor flight paths of the aircraft are being changed by this

airspace amendment as presumed by the commenter, no changes or further action is required in response.
Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000, 6002, 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.
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 service routes, and reporting points.
Differences From the NPRM
Subsequent to publication and during the FAA charting review, a typographical error was found in the geographic coordinates for the Fort Riley VOR long. 961540W vice long. 965140W in the Class D and E airspace legal descriptions; a typographic error was found in the Fort Riley, KS, Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface airspace legal description header IA
vice KS; a reciprocal radial 216
vice 036 was incorrectly listed in the Fort Riley, KS, Class D and Class E
airspace legal descriptions; it was discovered that some airspace extensions listed in the Manhattan, KS, Class E airspace area designated as an extension to Class D and Class E surface airspace and the Fort Riley, KS, and Manhattan, KS, Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface airspace legal descriptions were covered by other extensions or Class E airspace and are not required;
and there was an omission to the exclusionary language in the Manhattan, KS, Class E airspace area designated as an extension to Class D and Class E
surface airspace. As these corrections and the removal of the airspace extensions, which were being added to the existing airspace, do not change the airspace as proposed, they are incorporated into this rule.

Amending the Class D airspace to within a 3.9-mile radius increased from a 3.7-mile radius of Marshall AAF, Fort Riley, KS; adding an extension 1.1 miles each side of the 036 radial corrected from 216 from the Fort Riley VOR
extending from the 3.9-mile radius to 4.7 miles southwest of the airport;
adding an extension 1 mile each side of the 220 bearing from the airport extending from the 3.9-mile radius to 4
miles southwest of the airport; updating the name previously Marshall Army Airfield and geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical database; removing the cities associated with the airports to comply with changes to FAA Order 7400.2M, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters; and replacing the outdated term Airport/Facility Directory with Chart Supplement;
Amending the Class D airspace to within a 4.3-mile radius increased from a 4.2-mile radius of Manhattan Regional Airport, Manhattan, KS;
removing the Manhattan VOR/DME and McDowell Creek NDB from the airspace legal description as they are not required; updating the name previously Manhattan Municipal Airport and 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 surface area to within a 3.9-mile radius increased from a 3.7-mile radius of Marshall AAF;
removing the current extension from the Fort Riley VOR, as it is no longer required; removing the Calvary NDB
and associated extension from the airspace legal description; adding an extension 1.1 miles each side of the 036
corrected from 216 radial from the Fort Riley VOR extending from the 3.9mile radius to 4.7 miles southwest of the airport; adding an extension 1 mile each side of the 220 bearing from the airport extending from the 3.9-mile radius to 4
