SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:53 Sep 09, 2022 Jkt 256001 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, Class E surface airspace, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface and removes the Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D and Class E surface airspace at La Crosse Regional Airport, La Crosse, WI, to support instrument flight rule operations at this airport. History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register (87 FR 36421; June 17, 2022) for Docket No. FAA–2022–0774 to amend the Class D and Class E airspace and revoke Class E airspace at La Crosse, WI. 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, 6004, 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.

VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:53 Sep 09, 2022 Jkt 256001 Background On January 15, 2021, the Remote Identification of Unmanned Aircraft final rule (RIN 2120–AL31) published in the Federal Register at 86 FR 4390. In accordance with the final rule, standard remote identification unmanned aircraft and remote identification broadcast modules must be designed and produced to meet the requirements of title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations part 89 (14 CFR part 89). A person designing or producing a standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast module for operation in the United States must show that the unmanned aircraft or broadcast module meets the requirements of an FAA-accepted means of compliance. A means of compliance describes the methods by which the person complies with the performancebased requirements for remote identification. Under part 89, a person seeking acceptance by the FAA of a means of compliance for standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast modules must submit the means of compliance to the FAA. The FAA reviews the means of compliance to determine if it meets the minimum performance requirements and includes appropriate testing and validation procedures in accordance with 14 CFR part 89. Specifically, the person must submit a detailed description of the means of compliance, an explanation for how the means of compliance meets the minimum performance requirements of 14 CFR part 89, and any substantiating material the person wishes the FAA to consider as part of the application.1 Part 89 prohibits production of unmanned aircraft for operation in the United States unless the manufacturer meets the performance requirements of part 89 by following an FAA-accepted means of compliance for producing standard remote identification unmanned aircraft by the compliance date of September 16, 2022.2 A means of compliance is not considered to be ‘‘FAA-accepted’’ until the means of compliance has been evaluated by the Administrator, the Administrator determines the person has demonstrated that the means of compliance meets the requirements of subparts D and E of part 89, and the FAA has notified the person who submitted the means of compliance that the Administrator has accepted it.3 1 14 CFR 89.405. 2 14 CFR 89.510 and 89.515. 3 14 CFR 89.410. PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 55685 On May 13, 2022, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) submitted ‘‘Standard Practice for Remote ID Means of Compliance to Federal Aviation Administration Regulation 14 CFR part 89,’’ ASTM Reference Number F3586–22, to the FAA for acceptance. On August 11, 2022, the FAA published a notice of availability announcing the acceptance of a means of compliance consisting of both ASTM Standard F3586–22 and the additions specified in that notice of availability.4 Accordingly, while the FAA expects that those involved in the development of ASTM F3586–22 require less time to design and develop standard remote identification unmanned aircraft using the FAA-accepted means of compliance (ASTM F3586–22 and additions provided in the notice of availability) than they would if the entire means of compliance had been unfamiliar, until a means of compliance was accepted by the FAA, persons producing unmanned aircraft were unable to meet the standard remote identification unmanned aircraft production requirements in part 89. Statement of Policy The FAA recognizes that it accepted the ASTM F3586–22 means of compliance slightly more than a month before the September 16, 2022, compliance date. The FAA has already received some declarations of compliance from manufacturers who are likely to meet the September 16, 2022, compliance date. However, the FAA acknowledges that other manufacturers may not have sufficient time to adequately design, develop, and test unmanned aircraft and file a declaration of compliance with the FAA on or before September 16, 2022, because of the delayed acceptance of the means of compliance. Accordingly, the FAA will exercise its discretion in determining how to handle any apparent noncompliance, including exercising discretion to not take enforcement action, if appropriate, for any noncompliance that occurs on or before December 16, 2022. The exercise of enforcement discretion herein creates no individual right of action and establishes no precedent for future determinations. 4 Accepted Means of Compliance; Remote Identification of Unmanned Aircraft notice of availability, 87 FR 49520, August 11, 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, Class E surface airspace, and Class 
E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface and removes 
the Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D and Class E 
surface airspace at La Crosse Regional Airport, La Crosse, WI, to 
support instrument flight rule operations at this airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal 
Register (87 FR 36421; June 17, 2022) for Docket No. FAA-2022-0774 to 
amend the Class D and Class E airspace and revoke Class E airspace at 
La Crosse, WI. 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, 6004, 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 7400.11.

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 part 71:
    Amends the Class D airspace at La Crosse Regional Airport, La 
Crosse, WI, by adding an extension 1 mile each side of the 359[deg] 
bearing from the La Crosse Regional: RWY 18-LOC extending from the 4.4-
mile radius of the airport to 5.3 miles north of the airport; adds an 
extension 1 mile each side of the 359[deg] bearing from the airport 
extending from the 4.4-mile radius to 5.3 miles north of the airport; 
adds an extension 1 mile each side of the 036[deg] bearing from the 
airport extending from the 4.4-mile radius of the airport to 6.2 miles 
northeast of the airport; adds an extension 1 mile each side of the 
119[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the 4.4-mile radius of 
the airport to 5.7 miles southeast of the airport; adds an extension 1 
mile each side of the 216[deg] bearing from the airport extending from 
the 4.4-mile radius of the airport to 5.6 miles southwest of the 
airport; and replaces the outdated term ``Notice to Airmen'' with 
``Notice to Air Missions'';
    Amends the Class E surface airspace at La Crosse Regional Airport 
by adding an extension 1 mile each side of the 359[deg] bearing from 
the La Crosse Regional: RWY 18-LOC extending from the 4.4-mile radius 
of the airport to 5.3 miles north of the airport; adds an extension 1 
mile each side of the 359[deg] bearing from the airport extending from 
the 4.4-mile radius to 5.3 miles north of the airport; adds an 
extension 1 mile each side of the 036[deg] bearing from the airport 
extending from the 4.4-mile radius of the airport to 6.2 miles 
northeast of the airport; adds an extension 1 mile each side of the 
119[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the 4.4-mile radius of 
the airport to 5.7 miles southeast of the airport; adds an extension 1 
mile each side of the 216[deg] bearing from the airport extending from 
the 4.4-mile radius of the airport to 5.6 miles southwest of the 
airport; removes the 3,200 feet MSL restriction as it is not required; 
and replaces the outdated term ``Notice to Airmen'' with ``Notice to 
Air Missions'';
    Removes the Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D 
and Class E surface areas at La Crosse Regional Airport as these 
extensions have been incorporated into the Class D

airspace and Class E surface airspace and this airspace is no longer 
required;
    And amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
above the surface at La Crosse Regional Airport by adding an extension 
1 mile each side of the 359[deg] bearing from the La Crosse Regional: 
RWY 18-LOC extending from the 6.9-mile radius of the airport to 7.2 
miles north of the airport.
    This action is due to an airspace review conducted as part of the 
decommissioning of the La Crosse VOR, which provided navigation 
information for the instrument procedures at these airports, as part of 
the VOR MON Program.
    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
