Download as PDF 64160 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 204 / Monday, October 24, 2022 / Rules and Regulations Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of Transportation (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 airspace action of amending RNAV route T–269 in the vicinity of Yakutat, AK, qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5– 6.5a, which categorically excludes from further environmental impact review rulemaking actions that designate or modify classes of airspace areas, airways, routes, and reporting points (see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes; and Reporting Points), and paragraph 5–6.5i, which categorically excludes from further environmental review the establishment of new or revised air traffic control procedures conducted at 3,000 feet or more above ground level (AGL); procedures conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do not cause traffic to be routinely routed over noise sensitive areas; modifications to currently approved procedures conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do not significantly increase noise over noise sensitive areas; and increases in minimum altitudes and landing minima. As such, this action is not expected to result in any potentially significant environmental impacts. In accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5–2 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed this action for factors and circumstances in which a normally categorically excluded action may have a significant environmental impact requiring further analysis. Accordingly, the FAA has determined that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment or environmental impact study.

Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. Eleven (11) comments were received. Ten (10) recommending a reduction in the proposed airspace, and two (2) stating that the air traffic control tower and airspace were not necessary. The following responses are provided. In response to the recommendations that the airspace be reduced: The FAA has reviewed the recommendations, and determined that an exclusion area could be supported as well as reducing the vertical limit of the airspace from 3,200 feet MSL to 2,900 feet MSL. This area is not as large as that recommended in the comments due to requirements for the airspace to protect the instrument procedures at Lewis University Airport as required by FAA Order JO 7400.2N, Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters.

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 establishes Class D airspace at Lewis University Airport, 
Chicago/Romeoville, IL, to support instrument flight rule operations at 
this airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the 
Federal Register (87 FR 16435; March 23, 2022) for Docket No. FAA-2022-
0167 to establish Class D airspace at Chicago/Romeoville, IL. 
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
Eleven (11) comments were received. Ten (10) recommending a reduction 
in the proposed airspace, and two (2) stating that the air traffic 
control tower and airspace were not necessary. The following responses 
are provided.
    In response to the recommendations that the airspace be reduced: 
The FAA has reviewed the recommendations, and determined that an 
exclusion area could be supported as well as reducing the vertical 
limit of the airspace from 3,200 feet MSL to 2,900 feet MSL. This area 
is not as large as that recommended in the comments due to requirements 
for the airspace to protect the instrument procedures at Lewis 
University Airport as required by FAA Order JO 7400.2N, Procedures for 
Handling Airspace Matters.
    In response to the comments regarding the need for the air traffic 
control tower and associated airspace: The Joliet Regional Port 
District commissioned the construction of an air traffic control tower 
in accordance with (IAW) applicable FAA orders and directives, and 
applied for air traffic services through the FAA Contract Tower program 
IAW FAA Order JO 7210.78, FAA Contract Tower (FCT) New Start and 
Replacement Tower Process. LOT has since been accepted into the FCT 
program. The LOT FCT will provide terminal services and thus requires 
class D airspace IAW FAA Order JO 74002.N.
    Class D airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000 of 
FAA Order JO 7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 
15, 2022, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class 
D 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 7400.11G, Airspace Designations 
and Reporting Points, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 
15, 2022. FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available as listed in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class 
A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and 
reporting points.

Differences From the NPRM

    An exclusion area has been added to the airspace legal description 
and the vertical limit of the airspace reduced from 3,200 feet MSL to 
2,900 feet MSL in response to the comments received from the NPRM. As 
these changes are a reduction in the airspace previously proposed, they 
have been incorporated into this final rule.
    The term ``Notice to Airmen'' has been updated to ``Notice to Air 
Missions'' since the NPRM was published. As this is an administrative 
amendment and does not affect the airspace as proposed in the NPRM, 
this update has been incorporated into this action.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 establishes Class D airspace 
within a 4.1-mile radius of Lewis University Airport, Chicago/
Romeoville, IL, extending from the surface up to and including 2,900 
feet MSL excluding that area north of a line from lat. 41[deg]37'56'' 
N, long. 88[deg]10'54'' W to lat. 41[deg]40'21'' N, long. 
88[deg]06'02'' W to lat. 41[deg]40'35'' N, long. 88[deg]05'57'' W.
    This action supports the establishment of an air traffic control 
tower at Lewis University Airport.
    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.
