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 San Saba County Municipal Airport, San Saba, TX, to support instrument flight rule operations at this airport. History The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA–2022–1142 in the Federal Register (87 FR 74052; December 2, 2022) to establish Class E airspace at San Saba, TX. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.

The Rule This amendment to 14 CFR 71 establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6.4-mile radius of San Saba County Municipal Airport, San Saba, TX. 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. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1 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.

Implementation of New FOIA Case Management System The Department, including the Office of the Secretary and all of its components except the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), currently accepts FOIA requests and administrative appeals electronically through the FOIAonline multi-agency web-application (www.FOIAOnline.gov). The Department also accepts FOIA requests and administrative appeals via email to designated email addresses or via hard copy mail or via commercial carrier to designated physical addresses for individual components, as specified in 15 CFR Appendix A to Part 4— Freedom of Information Public Inspection Facilities and Addresses for Requests for Records Under the Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act, and Requests for Correction or Amendment Under the Privacy Act (Appendix A). Because the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency decided to decommission the FOIAonline.gov website effective September 30, 2023, the Department began a process to acquire and implement a successor FOIA case management system. In September 2022, the Department awarded a contract following an open solicitation process. The Department has been working diligently on the implementation of the new FOIA case management system and anticipates that it will be able to receive FOIA requests and FOIA administrative appeals by April 21, 2023, through https://foiapal.commerce.gov. In the interim, requesters may continue to file FOIA requests via U.S. mail, delivery service or by email, or electronically through the FOIA.gov website at https:// www.foia.gov/. FOIA appeals may be submitted via hard copy mail or commercial carrier or by email to the email addressed specified in Appendix 1 (foiaappeals@doc.gov).

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 San Saba County Municipal Airport, San Saba, TX, to 
support instrument flight rule operations at this airport.

History

    The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA-2022-1142 in the 
Federal Register (87 FR 74052; December 2, 2022) to establish Class E 
airspace at San Saba, TX. Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.

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

    FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR 71 establishes Class E airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6.4-mile radius of San 
Saba County Municipal Airport, San Saba, TX.

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.
