Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference This document proposes to amend 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 Proposal The FAA proposes an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Albert S. Nader Regional Airport (formerly Oneonta Municipal Airport), Oneonta, NY, by updating the airport’s name and geographic coordinates to coincide with the FAA’s database. Also, an airspace evaluation resulted in an increase of the Class E airspace radius to 6.7-miles (previously 6.5-miles) and the removal of the southwest extension. The Rockdale VORTAC would be removed from the airspace description, as it is unnecessary in describing the airspace. This action would enhance the safety and management of controlled airspace within the national airspace system. Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005 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 designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11. FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is published yearly and effective on September 15. E:\FR\FM\30AUP1.SGM 30AUP1 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 167 / Tuesday, August 30, 2022 / Proposed Rules Regulatory Notices and Analyses The FAA has determined that this proposed 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 anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Notice of proposed rulemaking. AGENCY: ACTION: The Coast Guard is proposing to update the list of marine events occurring annually within the Eleventh Coast Guard District, specifically within the San Francisco Captain of the Port (COTP) zone. This rule would enable vessel movement restrictions in the regulated area when the special local regulations are activated and enforced. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking. DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast Guard on or before September 29, 2022. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG– 2022–0611 using the Federal Decision Making Portal at https:// www.regulations.gov.

United States Code PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 52865 II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis The Coast Guard regularly updates the regulations for recurring special local regulations within the Eleventh Coast Guard District listed in 33 CFR 100.1103. These recurring special local regulations are for marine events that take place either on or over the navigable waters of the Eleventh Coast Guard District as defined at 33 CFR 3.55–1. These regulations were last amended February 13, 2020 (85 FR 8169). III. Discussion of Proposed Rule The Coast Guard is proposing to add two events to table 1 to 33 CFR 100.1103, the Sacramento Ironman Swim, which typically occurs on a Sunday in October, and the Escape from Alcatraz Swim, which typically occurs one weekend in June. Unauthorized persons or vessels would be prevented from entering into, transiting through, or remaining in the regulated areas without the permission of the Captain of the Port San Francisco or a designated representative during the events. These regulations are needed to keep spectators and vessels a safe distance away from the specified events to ensure the safety of participants, spectators, and transiting vessels. We would publish notices of enforcements in the Federal Register announcing the specific enforcement dates and times before the reoccurring annual events. We are also proposing small, technical changes to correct minor scrivener’s errors in the current text. The regulatory text we are proposing, which includes details for the location of these events, appears at the end of this document. We also included maps showing the general locations of the Sacramento Ironman Swim event and the Escape from Alcatraz Swim event in the docket USCG–2022–0611. IV. Regulatory Analyses We developed this proposed 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 Amendment rights of protestors. A. Regulatory Planning and Review Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits. This NPRM has not been designated a ‘‘significant regulatory action,’’ under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, E:\FR\FM\30AUP1.SGM 30AUP1

airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Albert S. 
Nader Regional Airport (formerly Oneonta Municipal Airport), Oneonta, 
NY, by updating the airport's name and geographic coordinates to

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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 
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that 
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal would be subject to an environmental analysis in 
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies 
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
