This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by establishing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6.4-mile radius of Marion Airport, Marion, IA. This action is necessary to support new public instrument procedures, and will support IFR operations at this airport. Paragraph 6010(a) Airways SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Regulatory Notices and Analyses Authority for This Rulemaking 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 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. § 71.1 [Amended] ■ * * * Domestic VOR Federal * * V–308 [Removed] * * * * * Issued in Washington, DC, on May 16, 2023.

This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it modifies the route structure as necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the National Airspace System. History The FAA published a NPRM for Docket No. FAA–2022–0901 in the Federal Register (87 FR 43755; July 22, 2022), proposing to amend VOR Federal airways V–1, V–16, and V–290, and remove airways V–93, and V–229. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were received. Differences From the NPRM Since publishing the NPRM, the FAA decided to postpone some of the proposed airway changes. V–1: The NPRM proposed to remove the V–1 airway segments from Cofield, NC, to Boston, MA. After publication, the FAA decided to postpone these changes. Therefore, V–1 remains in effect as currently published in FAA Order JO 7400.11G. V–16: The NPRM proposed to amend V–16 by removing the airway segments from the intersection of the Richmond, VA, 039° and the Patuxent, MD, 228° radials, to Boston, MA. After publication, the FAA decided to retain PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 some of these segments. Accordingly, the FAA removes the segments between Richmond, VA, and Smyrna, DE; and the segments between the CREAM, NY, Fix, and Boston, MA. The segment from Smyrna to CREAM is being retained to support the VOR MON plan. V–93: The NPRM proposed to remove V–93 entirely. After publication, the FAA decided to retain some of the route. V–93 is amended by removing only the segments between Patuxent River, MD, and Baltimore, MD. V–229: The NPRM proposed to remove V–229 entirely. After publication, the FAA decided to retain some of the route. The FAA removes the following two segments of V–229: the segment between Patuxent River, MD, and the DONIL, DE, Fix: and the segment between the PANZE, NJ, Fix, and Hartford, CT. The airway segment between DONIL and PANZE is retained. V–290: The NPRM proposed to amend V–290 by removing the segments from Rainelle, WV, to Flat Rock, VA, due to the planned decommissioning of the Rainelle, WV (RNL), VOR. Subsequently, the FAA established the SHANE, WV, navigation Fix to replace the VOR so that the segment to Flat Rock can be retained and remain available for navigation. The SHANE Fix is defined by the intersection of the Bluefield, WV (BLF), VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) 025°(T)/ 028°(M) and the Montebello, VA (MOL), VOR/DME 274°(T)/279°(M) radials. These differences are reflected in the airway descriptions in the Rule section. Incorporation by Reference VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis.

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 E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface at Marion Airport, Marion, IA, to support instrument flight 
rule (IFR) operations at this airport.

History

    The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA-2022-1672 in the 
Federal Register (87 FR 78614; December 22, 2022) establishing Class E 
airspace at Marion, IA. Interested parties were invited to participate 
in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the 
proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.

Incorporation by Reference

    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of 
FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, which 
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This 
document amends the current version of that order, FAA Order JO 
7400.11G, 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. These amendments will be published in the 
next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    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 action amends 14 CFR part 71 by establishing Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6.4-mile 
radius of Marion Airport, Marion, IA.
    This action is necessary to support new public instrument 
procedures, and will support IFR operations at this airport.

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 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.
