SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 SUMMARY: 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:42 Aug 18, 2022 Jkt 256001 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, the Class E surface airspace, and the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Victoria Regional Airport, Victoria, TX, to support instrument flight rule operations at this airport. History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register (87 FR 33080; June 1, 2022) for Docket No. FAA–2022–0693 to amend the Class D and Class E airspace at Victoria, TX. 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 paragraphs 5000, 6002, 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 E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11F. Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points. The Rule This amendment to 14 CFR 71: Amends the Class D airspace to within a 4.6-mile (decreased from a 4.7mile) radius of Victoria Regional Airport, Victoria, TX; updates the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database; and replaces the outdated terms of ‘‘Notice to Airmen’’ with ‘‘Notice to Air Missions’’ and ‘‘Airport/ Facility Directory’’ with ‘‘Chart Supplement’’; Amends the Class E surface area to within a 4.6-mile radius (decreased from a 4.7-mile) radius of Victoria Regional Airport; adds missing part-time language to the airspace legal PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 description; and updates the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database; And amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Victoria Regional Airport by amending the northwest extension to 2.4 (increased from 1.9) miles each side of the 307° (previously 312°) bearing from the Victoria VOR/DME (previously the airport) extending from the 7.1-mile radius to 11.3 (decreased from 12.8) miles northwest of the airport; and updates the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database. This action is the result of an airspace review conducted as part a biennial airspace review. 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, 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.

AGENCY: In January 2017, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) published a consumer product safety standard for sling carriers under section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). The standard incorporated by reference the 2015 ASTM voluntary standard for sling carriers that was in effect at the time and supplemented it with an additional requirement for warning label attachment. The CPSIA sets forth a process for updating mandatory standards for durable infant or toddler products that are based on a voluntary standard when the voluntary standards organization revises the standard. Consistent with the CPSIA’s update process, the Commission issued a direct final rule in April 2020, that revised the incorporation by reference for the mandatory standard for sling carriers to reflect ASTM’s revised 2019 voluntary standard, while retaining the additional requirement for warning label attachment. In November 2021, ASTM approved a revision to the voluntary standard for sling carriers, ASTM F2907–21. However, ASTM delayed notification to the CPSC until a revised version of the standard was published in April 2022, ASTM F2907– 22. On June 3, 2022, through publication in the Federal Register, the Commission provided notice of the availability of the revised standard and sought comments on the effect of the revisions on the safety of the standard for sling carriers. No comments were received. Consistent with the CPSIA’s update process, this direct final rule again updates the mandatory standard for sling carriers to incorporate by reference ASTM’s 2022 version of the voluntary standard, while retaining the additional requirement for warning label attachment. SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4700 The rule is effective on November 19, 2022, unless CPSC receives a significant adverse comment by September 19, 2022. If CPSC receives such a comment, it will publish a notice in the Federal Register, withdrawing this direct final rule before its effective date. The incorporation by reference of the publication listed in this rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of November 19, 2022.

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 amends the Class D airspace, the Class E surface airspace, and 
the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface 
at Victoria Regional Airport, Victoria, TX, to support instrument 
flight rule operations at this airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal 
Register (87 FR 33080; June 1, 2022) for Docket No. FAA-2022-0693 to 
amend the Class D and Class E airspace at Victoria, TX. 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 paragraphs 
5000, 6002, 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 E airspace 
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
FAA Order JO 7400.11F.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace Designations 
and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September 
15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as listed in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F lists Class 
A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and 
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR 71:
    Amends the Class D airspace to within a 4.6-mile (decreased from a 
4.7-mile) radius of Victoria Regional Airport, Victoria, TX; updates 
the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's 
aeronautical database; and replaces the outdated terms of ``Notice to 
Airmen'' with ``Notice to Air Missions'' and ``Airport/Facility 
Directory'' with ``Chart Supplement'';
    Amends the Class E surface area to within a 4.6-mile radius 
(decreased from a 4.7-mile) radius of Victoria Regional Airport; adds 
missing part-time language to the airspace legal description; and 
updates the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the 
FAA's aeronautical database;
    And amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface at Victoria Regional Airport by amending the 
northwest extension to 2.4 (increased from 1.9) miles each side of the 
307[deg] (previously 312[deg]) bearing from the Victoria VOR/DME 
(previously the airport) extending from the 7.1-mile radius to 11.3 
(decreased from 12.8) miles northwest of the airport; and updates the 
geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA's 
aeronautical database.
    This action is the result of an airspace review conducted as part a 
biennial airspace review.
    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, 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.
