ACTION: Correcting amendments.
AGENCY:
The Commodity Credit
Corporation (CCC) revised the
Conservation Stewardship Program
(CSP) regulation in the final rule
published in the Federal Register on
October 9, 2020, in response to public
comments. Changes were published in
the final rule that revised the definition
for resource-conserving crop. As part of
a recent review, a technical error in the
definition of ‘‘resource-conserving crop’’
was discovered. This document corrects
the error. In addition, there was an
inadvertent error and the definition for
‘‘resource-conserving crop rotation’’
needs to be reinstated; the definition
remains unchanged from the interim
rule as published in the Federal
Register on November 12, 2019.
DATES: Effective: August 3, 2021.

alternative means for communication

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CCC
revised the definition for ‘‘resourceconserving crop’’ in 7 CFR 1470.3 in the
final rule published in the Federal
Register on October 9, 2020 (85 FR
63993–64003). As part of a recent
review, a technical error in the
definition of ‘‘resource-conserving crop’’
was discovered. This document corrects
the error.
CCC previously revised the definition
for ‘‘resource-conserving crop rotation’’
in 7 CFR 1470.3 in the interim rule
published in the Federal Register on
November 12, 2019 (84 FR 60883–
60900). It appears that when the
definition for ‘‘resource-conserving
crop’’ was revised in October that the
definition for ‘‘resource-conserving crop
rotation’’ was inadvertently removed.
This document reinstates the definition
for ‘‘resource-conserving crop rotation’’
as it appeared in the November 2019
interim rule.

SUMMARY:
E:\FR\FM\03AUR1.SGM
03AUR1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 146 / Tuesday, August 3, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
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 amends the
Class D airspace at Ohio State
University Airport, Columbus, OH, and
Rickenbacker International Airport,
Columbus, OH, and the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at John Glenn Columbus
International Airport, Columbus, OH,
and Rickenbacker International Airport,
and revokes the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Darby Dan Airport,
Columbus, OH, to support instrument
flight rule operations at these airports.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the
Federal Register (86 FR 28729; May 28,
2021) for Docket No. FAA–2021–0385 to
amend the Class D airspace and Class E
airspace at Columbus, OH, and revoke
the Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface at Darby
Dan Airport, Columbus, OH. 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 and E airspace designations
are published in paragraph 5000 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.

air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.
Differences From the NPRM
Subsequent to publication of the
NPRM, the FAA discovered a
typographic error in the NPRM. The
NPRM published the airport name of
‘‘Darby Dan Airport’’ as ‘‘Dan Darby
Airport.’’ As the correction does not
affect the airspace as proposed, it is
incorporated into this rule.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71:
Amends the Class D airspace at Ohio
State University Airport, Columbus
Ohio by removing the name of the
airport from the header of the airspace
legal description to comply with
changes to FAA Order 7400.2N,
Procedures for Handling Airspace
Matters; removes the city associated
with the airport in the airspace legal
description to comply with changes to
FAA Order 7400.2N; updates the
geographic coordinates of the airport to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database; and replaces the outdated
term ‘‘Airport/Facility Directory’’ with
‘‘Chart Supplement’’;
Amends the Class D airspace to
within a 4.6-mile (increased from a 4.5mile) radius of Rickenbacker
International Airport, Columbus, OH;
removes the airport name from the
header of the airspace legal description
to comply with changes to FAA Order
7400.2N; and removes the city
associated with the airport to comply
with changes to FAA Order 7400.2N;
And amends the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 7.5-mile
(increased from a 7-mile) radius of John
Glenn Columbus International Airport,
Columbus, OH; updates the name of
John Glenn Columbus International
Airport (previously Port Columbus
International Airport) to coincide with
the FAA’s aeronautical database;
removes the cities associated with the
airports to comply with changes to FAA
Order 7400.2N; within a 7.1-mile
(increased from a 7-mile) radius of
Rickenbacker International Airport;
within 4 miles each side of the 045°
bearing from Rickenbacker International
Airport extending from the 7.1-mile
(previously 7-mile) radius to 12.6 miles
(increased from 12.5 miles) northeast of
the Rickenbacker International Airport;
updates the geographic coordinates of
Ohio State University Airport to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database; removes Darby Dan Airport,
Columbus, OH, and the associated
airspace as the instrument procedures at
this airport have been cancelled and the
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
41703
airspace is no longer required; and
removes the exclusionary language from
the airspace legal description as it is not
required.
This action is necessary due to
airspace reviews caused by the
decommissioning of the Rickenbacker
International Airport runway 5R middle
maker, which provided navigation
information for the instrument
procedures at this airport, and the
cancellation of the instrument
procedures at Darby Dan Airport,
Columbus, OH.
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 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 in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’
paragraph 5–6.5.a. 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.

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

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

as it amends the Class D airspace at Ohio State University Airport,
Columbus, OH, and Rickenbacker International Airport, Columbus, OH, and
the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface
at John Glenn Columbus International Airport, Columbus, OH, and
Rickenbacker International Airport, and revokes the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Darby Dan Airport,
Columbus, OH, to support instrument flight rule operations at these
airports.
History
The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the
Federal Register (86 FR 28729; May 28, 2021) for Docket No. FAA-2021-
0385 to amend the Class D airspace and Class E airspace at Columbus,
OH, and revoke the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Darby Dan Airport, Columbus, OH. 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 and E airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000
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 of the NPRM, the FAA discovered a
typographic error in the NPRM. The NPRM published the airport name of
``Darby Dan Airport'' as ``Dan Darby Airport.'' As the correction does
not affect the airspace as proposed, it is incorporated into this rule.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71:
Amends the Class D airspace at Ohio State University Airport,
Columbus Ohio by removing the name of the airport from the header of
the airspace legal description to comply with changes to FAA Order
7400.2N, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters; removes the city
associated with the airport in the airspace legal description to comply
with changes to FAA Order 7400.2N; updates the geographic coordinates
of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database; and
replaces the outdated term ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with ``Chart
Supplement'';
Amends the Class D airspace to within a 4.6-mile (increased from a
4.5-mile) radius of Rickenbacker International Airport, Columbus, OH;
removes the airport name from the header of the airspace legal
description to comply with changes to FAA Order 7400.2N; and removes
the city associated with the airport to comply with changes to FAA
Order 7400.2N;
And amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to within a 7.5-mile (increased from a 7-mile) radius
of John Glenn Columbus International Airport, Columbus, OH; updates the
name of John Glenn Columbus International Airport (previously Port
Columbus International Airport) to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical
database; removes the cities associated with the airports to comply
with changes to FAA Order 7400.2N; within a 7.1-mile (increased from a
7-mile) radius of Rickenbacker International Airport; within 4 miles
each side of the 045[deg] bearing from Rickenbacker International
Airport extending from the 7.1-mile (previously 7-mile) radius to 12.6
miles (increased from 12.5 miles) northeast of the Rickenbacker
International Airport; updates the geographic coordinates of Ohio State
University Airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
removes Darby Dan Airport, Columbus, OH, and the associated airspace as
the instrument procedures at this airport have been cancelled and the
airspace is no longer required; and removes the exclusionary language
from the airspace legal description as it is not required.
This action is necessary due to airspace reviews caused by the
decommissioning of the Rickenbacker International Airport runway 5R
middle maker, which provided navigation information for the instrument
procedures at this airport, and the cancellation of the instrument
procedures at Darby Dan Airport, Columbus, OH.
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 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 in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. 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.
