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
airspace in Lawrenceville, GA, to
support IFR operations in the area.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (87 FR 2568, January 18, 2022)
for Docket No. FAA–2021–1108 to
amend Class D airspace and Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface for Lawrenceville,
GA.
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 Class E airspace
designations are published in
Paragraphs 5000 and 6005, respectively,
of FAA Order JO 7400.11F, dated
August 10, 2021, and effective
September 15, 2021, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace listed in this
document will be published
subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.

Reference
This document amends FAA Order JO
7400.11F, Airspace Designations and

FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly

The Rule
The FAA amends 14 CFR part 71 to
amend Class D airspace and Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface for Gwinnett
County/Briscoe Field Airport,
Lawrenceville, GA.
The Gwinnett County/Briscoe Field
Airport (formerly Gwinnett CountyBriscoe Field Airport) Class D airspace
is amended by updating the airport’s
name, adding an extension 1 mile each
side of the airports 244° bearing
extending from the airport’s 4.6-mile
radius to 5.5 miles southwest of the
airport, and replacing the outdated term
Airport/Facility Directory with the term
Chart Supplement in the airport
description.
The Gwinnett County/Briscoe Field
Airport (formerly Lawrenceville,
Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field Airport)
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface would be
amended by updating the airport’s
name, increasing the radius to 7.0 miles
(formerly 6.5 miles), eliminating the
extension to the east, and removing the
Gwinnett County NDB from the
description.
Subsequent to publication of the
Notice of Proposed Rule Making, the
FAA discovered that the name of
Gwinnett County-Briscoe Field Airport
required updating. The correct name is
Gwinnett County/Briscoe Field Airport.
This action resolves this issue.
Class D and Class E airspace
designations are published in
Paragraphs 5000 and 6005, respectively,
of FAA Order JO 7400.11F, dated
August 10, 2021, and effective
September 15, 2021, 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 JO 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)
E:\FR\FM\15MRR1.SGM
15MRR1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 15, 2022 / Rules and Regulations
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.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this
action qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act in accordance with FAA
Order JO 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.
