SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
Authority for This Rulemaking
The FAA’s 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
agency’s 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 updates the
ARP geographic coordinates for the
Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones
Field and the airport name for the
Redstone AAF that is contained in the
Huntsville, AL, Class C airspace
description.
History
Class C airspace areas are designed to
improve air safety by reducing the risk
of midair collisions in high volume
airport terminal areas and to enhance
the management of air traffic operations
in that area. During a recent review of
the Huntsville, AL, Class C airspace area
description, the FAA identified that the
airport’s ARP geographic coordinates
and the Redstone AAF airport name
were incorrect. This action updates the
Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones
Field ARP geographic coordinates and
the Redstone AAF airport name to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database information. There are no
changes to the boundaries, altitudes, or
air traffic control services resulting from
this action.
Class C airspace designations are
published in paragraph 4000 of FAA
Order 7400.11D, dated August 8, 2019,
and effective September 15, 2019, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
part 71.1. The Class C airspace
designation 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.
Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference

Reporting Points, dated August 8, 2019,
and effective September 15, 2019. FAA
Order 7400.11D is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11D lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by
amending the Huntsville InternationalCarl T. Jones Field ARP geographic
coordinates and the Redstone AAF
airport name contained in the airspace
area description. The Huntsville
International-Carl T. Jones Field ARP
geographic position for the airport is
changed from ‘‘lat. 34°38′25″ N, long.
86°46′30″; W’’ to ‘‘lat. 34°38′14″ N, long.
86°46′23″ W.’’ and the airport name
‘‘Redstone Army Air Field’’ is changed
to ‘‘Redstone AAF’’. These amendments
to the Huntsville International-Carl T.
Jones Field ARP geographic coordinates
and Redstone AAF airport name reflect
the current information in the FAA’s
aeronautical database. Additionally,
minor administrative edits to the legal
description title and Chart Supplement
reference were made for readability and
to comply with airspace legal
description policy guidance.
This is an administrative change and
does not affect the boundaries, altitudes,
or operating requirements of the
airspace, therefore, notice and public
procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is
unnecessary.
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. It, therefore: (1) Is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of
Transportation (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 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.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this
action qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
58319
Policy Act, and its agency implementing
regulations in FAA Order 1050.1F,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures’’ regarding categorical
exclusions for procedural actions at
paragraph 5–6.5a, which categorically
excludes from full environmental
impact review rulemaking actions that
designate or modify classes of airspace
areas, airways, routes, and reporting
points. Since this action does not
change the boundaries, altitudes, or
operating requirements of the Class C
airspace area, and only amends the legal
description to contain the current
Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones
Field ARP geographic coordinates and
Redstone AAF airport name
information, this airspace action is not
expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts. In
accordance with FAAO 1050.1F,
paragraph 5–2 regarding Extraordinary
Circumstances, this action has been
reviewed for factors and circumstances
in which a normally categorically
excluded action may have a significant
environmental impact requiring further
analysis, and it is determined that no
extraordinary circumstances exist that
warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
On May 20, 2019, Race World
Offshore notified the Coast Guard that it
would be conducting high speed boat
races from 9:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. each
day on November 6, 8, and 10, 2019.
Approximately 50 participants and 200
spectator craft are expected to attend the
event, which will take place in the
Atlantic Ocean, off the tip of Key West,
Florida, on the waters of the Key West
Main Ship Channel, Key West Turning
Basin, and Key West Harbor Entrance in
Key West, FL. In response, on August 6,
2019, the Coast Guard published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
titled, ‘‘Special Local Regulation;
Atlantic Ocean, Key West, FL’’ (84 FR
38148). There we stated why we issued
the NPRM, and invited comments on
our proposed regulatory action related
to this power boat race event. During the
comment period that ended September
5, 2019, we received one supporting
comment.
Another sponsor intends to conduct a
high-speed boat race on the same dates
and times as the Race World Offshore’s
event. The other sponsor has an existing
waterway closure already listed in the
regulations at 33 CFR 100.701, Table to
§ 100.701(c)(4). Regardless of which
sponsor’s event or events are conducted,
the regulated area will be the same, as
both events have nearly identical race
courses.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. This rule has already been
released for public comments, which are
addressed in Section IV. Delaying the
effective date of this rule would be
impracticable because the event is
taking place on November 6, 8, and 10,
2019, and immediate action is needed to
PO 00000
Frm 00018

respond to the potential safety hazards
associated with this event.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70041
(previously 33 U.S.C. 1233). The
Captain of the Port Key West (COTP)
has determined that the potential
hazards associated with the high-speed
boat race would be a safety concern for
the participants, participant vessels, and
the general public. The purpose of this
rule is to protect event participants,
spectators, and vessels on the navigable
waters of the Key West Main Ship
Channel, Key West Turning Basin, and
Key West Harbor Entrance before,
during, and after the scheduled event.
IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes,
and the Rule
As noted above, we received one
comment in support of our NPRM,
which published on August 6, 2019.
There is one change in the regulatory
text from the regulatory text in the
NPRM. The sponsor’s event title is
removed due to the uncertainty of
which entity will be responsible for the
races. The races will be held in the same
location, on the same dates, at the same
time, regardless of which sponsor is
responsible. All other particulars for the
event are the same.
This rule establishes a temporary
special local regulation from 9:30 a.m.
until 4:30 p.m. on November 6, 8, and
10, 2019. The temporary special local
regulation consists of two regulated
areas: (1) Race and safety buffer are, and
(2) spectator area. These areas prohibit
persons and vessels from entering,
transiting through, anchoring in, or
remaining within the race area or buffer
zone and prohibit vessels from
transiting at speeds that cause wake
within the spectator area, unless
authorized by the COTP Key West or a
designated representative. The
temporary special local regulation
covers all navigable waters in the
Atlantic Ocean, off the tip of Key West,
Florida, on the waters of the Key West
Main Ship Channel, Key West Turning
Basin, and Key West Harbor Entrance.
V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and
Executive orders, and we discuss First

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority for This Rulemaking
The FAA's 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 agency's
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 updates the ARP geographic coordinates for the Huntsville
International-Carl T. Jones Field and the airport name for the Redstone
AAF that is contained in the Huntsville, AL, Class C airspace
description.
History
Class C airspace areas are designed to improve air safety by
reducing the risk of midair collisions in high volume airport terminal
areas and to enhance the management of air traffic operations in that
area. During a recent review of the Huntsville, AL, Class C airspace
area description, the FAA identified that the airport's ARP geographic
coordinates and the Redstone AAF airport name were incorrect. This
action updates the Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones Field ARP
geographic coordinates and the Redstone AAF airport name to coincide
with the FAA's aeronautical database information. There are no changes
to the boundaries, altitudes, or air traffic control services resulting
from this action.
Class C airspace designations are published in paragraph 4000 of
FAA Order 7400.11D, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15,
2019, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class
C airspace designation 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.
Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document amends FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15,
2019. FAA Order 7400.11D is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11D lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by amending the Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones Field
ARP geographic coordinates and the Redstone AAF airport name contained
in the airspace area description. The Huntsville International-Carl T.
Jones Field ARP geographic position for the airport is changed from
``lat. 34[deg]38'25'' N, long. 86[deg]46'30''; W'' to ``lat.
34[deg]38'14'' N, long. 86[deg]46'23'' W.'' and the airport name
``Redstone Army Air Field'' is changed to ``Redstone AAF''. These
amendments to the Huntsville International-Carl T. Jones Field ARP
geographic coordinates and Redstone AAF airport name reflect the
current information in the FAA's aeronautical database. Additionally,
minor administrative edits to the legal description title and Chart
Supplement reference were made for readability and to comply with
airspace legal description policy guidance.
This is an administrative change and does not affect the
boundaries, altitudes, or operating requirements of the airspace,
therefore, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is
unnecessary.
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.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (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 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.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act, and its agency
implementing regulations in FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts:
Policies and Procedures'' regarding categorical exclusions for
procedural actions at paragraph 5-6.5a, which categorically excludes
from full environmental impact review rulemaking actions that designate
or modify classes of airspace areas, airways, routes, and reporting
points. Since this action does not change the boundaries, altitudes, or
operating requirements of the Class C airspace area, and only amends
the legal description to contain the current Huntsville International-
Carl T. Jones Field ARP geographic coordinates and Redstone AAF airport
name information, this airspace action is not expected to cause any
potentially significant environmental impacts. In accordance with FAAO
1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, this
action has been reviewed for factors and circumstances in which a
normally categorically excluded action may have a significant
environmental impact requiring further analysis, and it is determined
that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of
an environmental assessment.
