SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authority for This Rulemaking The FAA’s authority to issue rule regarding aviation safety if 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 insure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it removes Class E airspace at Cecil Airport, and amends Class D and E airspace in the Jacksonville, FL area to support IFR operations in the area. changes of Jacksonville NAS (Towers Field), (formerly Jacksonville NAS); and Mayport NS (ADM David L. McDonald Field), (formerly Mayport NAS); and Herlong Recreational Airport, (formerly Herlong Field); and Jacksonville Executive Airport at Craig, (formerly Craig Municipal Airport), Jacksonville, FL. The NPRM also proposed amendment of the geographic coordinates of these airports, as well as Jacksonville International Airport and Whitehouse NOLF, and to replace the outdated term Airport/Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement in the associated Class D airspace legal descriptions for these airports. Also, subsequent to publication of the NPRM, the FAA found the geographic coordinates of Cecil Airport and the line between Cecil Airport and Whitehouse NOLF was incorrect. This action corrects that error. 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 D airspace designations, Class E airspace areas designated as an extension to a Class D or E surface area, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface are published in Paragraphs 5000, 6004, and 6005, respectively of FAA Order 7400.11D, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15, 2019, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

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 routes, and reporting points. The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register (84 FR 68383, December 16, 2019) for Docket No. FAA–2019–0932 to remove Class E surface airspace designated as an extension to a Class D surface area at Cecil Airport due to the decommissioning of the Cecil VOR.

McDonald Field), and Herlong Recreational Airport, and Jacksonville Executive Airport at Craig, Jacksonville, FL. Also, the geographic coordinates of these airports and Jacksonville International Airport and Whitehouse NOLF are adjusted to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database. These changes are necessary for continued safety and management of IFR operations at these airports. In addition, the FAA replaces the outdated tem Airport/Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement in the associated Class D airspace legal descriptions for these airports. 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. 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 as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that only affects air traffic procedures an 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 in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ paragraph 5–6.5a. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rule regarding aviation safety if 
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 insure the safety of aircraft and the efficient 
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority 
as it removes Class E airspace at Cecil Airport, and amends Class D and 
E airspace in the Jacksonville, FL area to support IFR operations in 
the area.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal 
Register (84 FR 68383, December 16, 2019) for Docket No. FAA-2019-0932 
to remove Class E surface airspace designated as an extension to a 
Class D surface area at Cecil Airport due to the decommissioning of the 
Cecil VOR. The FAA also proposed to amend Class D airspace and Class E 
airspace extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface by 
recognizing the name changes of Jacksonville NAS (Towers Field), 
(formerly Jacksonville NAS); and Mayport NS (ADM David L. McDonald 
Field), (formerly Mayport NAS); and Herlong Recreational Airport, 
(formerly Herlong Field); and Jacksonville Executive Airport at Craig, 
(formerly Craig Municipal Airport), Jacksonville, FL.
    The NPRM also proposed amendment of the geographic coordinates of 
these airports, as well as Jacksonville International Airport and 
Whitehouse NOLF, and to replace the outdated term Airport/Facility 
Directory with the term Chart Supplement in the associated Class D 
airspace legal descriptions for these airports.
    Also, subsequent to publication of the NPRM, the FAA found the 
geographic coordinates of Cecil Airport and the line between Cecil 
Airport and Whitehouse NOLF was incorrect. This action corrects that 
error.
    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 D airspace designations, Class E airspace areas designated as 
an extension to a Class D or E surface area, and Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet or more above the surface are published 
in Paragraphs 5000, 6004, and 6005, respectively of FAA Order 7400.11D, 
dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15, 2019, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and Class 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 7400.11D, 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 routes, and reporting 
points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 removes Class E surface airspace designated as an extension to 
a Class D surface area at Cecil Airport due to the decommissioning of 
the Cecil VOR, and cancellation of the VOR approach. The FAA also 
amends Class D airspace and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 
feet or more above the surface by recognizing the name changes of 
Jacksonville NAS (Towers Field), and Mayport NS (ADM David L. McDonald 
Field), and Herlong Recreational Airport, and Jacksonville Executive 
Airport at Craig, Jacksonville, FL. Also, the geographic coordinates of 
these airports and Jacksonville International Airport and Whitehouse 
NOLF are adjusted to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. 
These changes are necessary for continued safety and management of IFR 
operations at these airports. In addition, the FAA replaces the 
outdated tem Airport/Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement 
in the associated Class D airspace legal descriptions for these 
airports.
    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. 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 
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter 
that only affects air traffic procedures an 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 in accordance 
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and 
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. 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.
