Amendment of Class D Airspace and Class E Airspace; Manassas, VA, 2205-2206 [2023-00268]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 9 / Friday, January 13, 2023 / Rules and Regulations ‘‘lat. 42°56′26″ N, long. 78°43′50″ W’’ and the ARP geographic coordinates for the Buffalo-Lancaster Regional Airport are changed from ‘‘lat. 42°55′20″ N, long. 78°36′44″ W’’ to ‘‘lat. 42°55′19″ N, long. 78°36′43″ W’’. Lastly, the airspace title in the airspace description header is changed from ‘‘Greater Buffalo International Airport, NY’’ to ‘‘Buffalo, NY’’. The airport name and ARP geographic coordinates updates are made to coincide with the FAA’s NASR database information. The airspace title technical amendment is made to comply with airspace legal description guidance contained in FAA Order JO 7400.2. This action does not affect the boundaries, altitudes, or operating requirements of the airspace. Therefore, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary. FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is published yearly and effective on September 15. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 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 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 action making technical amendments to the Buffalo, NY, Class C airspace description 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 full 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; VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:24 Jan 12, 2023 Jkt 259001 2205 Air Traffic Service Routes; and Reporting Points). As such, this airspace 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.

ACTION: Determinations. AGENCY: The Portable Fuel Container Safety Act of 2020 (PFCSA) provides that the Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission) must promulgate a rule to require flame mitigation devices in portable fuel containers that impede the propagation of flame into the container, unless the Commission determines that there is a voluntary standard for flame mitigation devices that impedes the propagation of flame into the container. The Commission is announcing in this document that it has determined that such voluntary standards exist for all known classes of portable fuel containers. Therefore, the Commission will not be promulgating a final rule, and pursuant to the PFCSA, the requirements of such voluntary standards shall be treated as a consumer product safety rule under the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA).

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

[[Page 2206]]

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 Manassas, VA, to support IFR operations in the area. 
This update is administrative change and does not change the airspace 
boundaries or operating requirements.

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.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 amends the Class D airspace and 
Class E surface airspace at Manassas Regional Airport/Harry P. Davis 
Field, Manassas, VA., by updating the geographic coordinates of the 
airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. In addition, 
this action makes the editorial changes replacing the term Notice to 
Airmen with Notice to Air Missions and replacing the term Airport/
Facility Directory with Chart Supplement.
    This action is an administrative change and does not affect the 
airspace boundaries or operating requirements; therefore, notice and 
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
    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 
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.
