In lieu of § 25.1353(b)(1) through (4)
at amendment 25–123, or § 25.1353(c)(1)
through (4) at earlier amendments, each
rechargeable lithium battery installation
must:
1. Be designed to maintain safe cell
temperatures and pressures under all
foreseeable operating conditions to
prevent fire and explosion.
2. Be designed to prevent the
occurrence of self-sustaining,
uncontrollable increases in temperature
or pressure, and automatically control
the charge rate of each cell to protect
against adverse operating conditions,
such as cell imbalance, back charging,
overcharging, and overheating.
3. Not emit explosive or toxic gases,
either in normal operation or as a result
of its failure that may accumulate in
hazardous quantities within the
airplane.
4. Meet the requirements of § 25.863.
5. Not damage surrounding structure
or adjacent systems, equipment, or
electrical wiring from corrosive fluids or
gases that may escape in such a way as
to cause a major or more- severe failure
condition.
6. Have provisions to prevent any
hazardous effect on airplane structure or
systems caused by the maximum
amount of heat it can generate due to
any failure of it or its individual cells.
7. Have a failure sensing and warning
system to alert the flightcrew if its
failure affects safe operation of the
airplane.
8. Have a monitoring and warning
feature that alerts the flightcrew when
its charge state falls below acceptable
levels if its function is required for safe
operation of the airplane.
9. Have a means to automatically
disconnect from its charging source in
the event of an over-temperature
condition, cell failure or battery failure.
Note: A battery system consists of the
battery, battery charger and any protective,
monitoring and alerting circuitry or hardware
inside or outside of the battery. It also
includes vents (where necessary) and
packaging. For the purpose of these special
conditions, a battery and the battery system
is referred to as a battery.

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 E5 airspace description in West
Palm Beach, FL, by removing ‘‘West
Palm Beach’’ from the legal description
sub-header because it is excessive and
unnecessary.
Incorporation by Reference
Class E airspace designations are
published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order JO 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1 annually. This document amends
the current version of that order, FAA
Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated August 19, 2022, and effective
September 15, 2022. These updates
would subsequently be published in the
next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11.
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 action amends 14 CFR part 71 by
amending Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 Feet or more above the
surface of the earth for Palm Beach
International Airport, West Palm Beach,
FL, by removing ‘‘West Palm Beach’’
from the legal description sub-header
because it is excessive and unnecessary.
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.
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

does not warrant preparation of 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
DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY
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 5–6.5a. This airspace action
is not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts, and
no extraordinary circumstances warrant
the preparation of an environmental
assessment.

Drawbridge Operation Regulation;
Okeechobee Waterway, Stuart, FL
Coast Guard, DHS.
Notice of temporary deviation
from regulations; request for comments.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard has issued a
temporary deviation from the operating
schedule that governs the Florida East
Coast (FEC) Railroad Bridge, mile 7.41,
and the NW Dixie Highway Bridge, mile
7.5, across the Okeechobee Waterway
(OWW), at Stuart, Florida. In
anticipation of a significant increase in
railway activity across the FEC Railroad
Bridge, the Coast Guard is considering
changing the operating regulation for
the FEC Railroad Bridge to allow the
drawbridge to operate on a more
predictable schedule. The operating
regulation for the adjacent NW Dixie
Highway Bridge will be modified to
allow for the drawbridges to operate in
concert. This deviation will test a
change to the drawbridge operation
schedule to determine whether a
permanent change to the schedule is
needed. The Coast Guard is seeking
comments from the public regarding
this deviation.
DATES: This deviation is effective from
12:01 a.m. on June 21, 2023, through
11:59 p.m. on December 17, 2023.
Comments and related material must
reach the Coast Guard on or before
August 4, 2023.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
identified by docket number USCG–
2022–0222 using Federal Decision
Making Portal at https://

I. Background, Purpose and Legal Basis
The FEC Railroad Bridge across the
Okeechobee Waterway (OWW), mile
7.4, at Stuart, Florida is a single-leaf
bascule bridge with a six-foot vertical
clearance at mean high water in the
closed position. The normal operating
schedule for the bridge is found in 33
CFR 117.317(c).
The NW Dixie Highway Bridge across
the OWW, mile 7.5, at Stuart, Florida,
is a double-leaf bascule bridge with a
14-foot vertical clearance at mean high
water in the closed position. The normal
operating schedule for the bridge is
found in 33 CFR 117.317(d). Navigation
on the waterway is commercial and
recreational.
In anticipation of a significant
increase in railway activity across the
FEC Railroad Bridge, the Coast Guard is
considering changing the operating
regulation for the FEC Railroad Bridge
to allow the drawbridge to operate on a
more predictable schedule and allow for
reasonable usage of competing modes of
transportation. The operating regulation
for the adjacent NW Dixie Highway
Bridge will be modified to allow for the
drawbridges to operate in concert.
On May 3, 2022, the Coast Guard
published a Notification of Inquiry
entitled, ‘‘Drawbridge Operation
Regulation; Okeechobee Waterway,
Stuart, FL’’ in the Federal Register (87
FR 26145). On June 10, 2022, a
Supplemental Notification of Inquiry
entitled, ‘‘Drawbridge Operation
Regulation; Okeechobee Waterway,
Stuart, FL’’ was published in the
Federal Register (87 FR 35472). We
received a total 2358 comments on those
publications. Those comments were
taken into consideration when
developing this test deviation.
Under this temporary deviation, the
FEC Railroad Bridge shall open on
signal at the quarter and three-quarter
hour and remain open until all vessels
requiring or requesting an opening have
cleared, except any open period shall
not exceed 15 minutes.
If a train is in the track circuit at the
designated opening time, the opening
may be delayed up to but not exceed
five minutes. Once the train has cleared
the track circuit, the bridge must open
immediately, if requested, and remain
open until all vessels requiring an

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 E5 airspace description in West Palm Beach, FL,
by removing ``West Palm Beach'' from the legal description sub-header
because it is excessive and unnecessary.
Incorporation by Reference
Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 annually. This document amends
the current version of that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 19, 2022, and effective
September 15, 2022. These updates would subsequently be published in
the next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11. 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 action amends 14 CFR part 71 by amending Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 Feet or more above the surface of the earth
for Palm Beach International Airport, West Palm Beach, FL, by removing
``West Palm Beach'' from the legal description sub-header because it is
excessive and unnecessary. 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.
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
[[Page 37470]]
``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 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 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances warrant the preparation of an environmental
assessment.
