SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: 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. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:27 Jun 14, 2023 Jkt 259001 PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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 E surface airspace, the Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class C surface area, and the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, and establishes Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class E surface area at Dane County Regional Airport/Truax Field, Madison, WI, to support instrument flight rule operations at this airport. History The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA–2023–0914 in the Federal Register (88 FR 22931; April 14, 2023) proposing to amend the Class E airspace at Madison Dane County Regional Airport-Truax Field, WI, and establish Class E airspace at Madison, WI. 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 paragraphs 6002, 6003, 6004, and 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 amendment to 14 CFR part 71: Modifies the Class E surface area at Dane County Regional Airport/Truax Field, Madison, WI, by removing all of the extensions contained within the airspace legal descriptions as they will be incorporated into new Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class E surface area to comply with FAA Order JO 7400.2N, Procedures for E:\FR\FM\15JNR1.SGM 15JNR1 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 115 / Thursday, June 15, 2023 / Rules and Regulations Handling Airspace Matters; replaces the outdated terms ‘‘Notice to Airmen’’ with ‘‘Notice to Air Missions’’ and ‘‘Airport/ Facility Directory’’ with ‘‘Chart Supplement’’; modifies the header from ‘‘Madison Dane County Regional Airport-Truax Field, WI’’ to ‘‘Madison, WI’’ to comply with changes to FAA Order JO 7400.2N; and updates the name of Dane County Regional Airport/ Truax Field (previously Dane County Regional Airport-Truax Field) and the geographic coordinates of Dane County Regional Airport/Truax Field and Waunakee Airport, Waunakee, WI, to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database; Modifies the Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class C surface area at Dane County Regional Airport/Truax Field by removing the extension north of the airport as it is no longer required; modifies the extension southeast of the airport to within 2.4 miles each side of the Madison VORTAC 130° radial (previously 134° bearing from the Dane County Regional Airport-Truax Field) extending from the 5-mile radius of Dane County Regional Airport/Truax Field to 7 miles southeast of the Madison VORTAC (previously Dane County Regional Airport-Truax Field); modifies the extension northwest of the airport to within 2.4 miles each side of the Madison VORTAC 319° radial (previously 358° bearing from the Dane County Regional Airport-Truax Field) extending from the 5-mile radius of Dane County Regional Airport/Truax Field to 7 miles northwest of the Madison VORTAC (previously Dane County Regional Airport-Truax Field); replaces the outdated terms ‘‘Notice to Airmen’’ with ‘‘Notice to Air Missions’’ and ‘‘Airport/Facility Directory’’ with ‘‘Chart Supplement’’; modifies the header from ‘‘Madison Dane County Regional Airport-Truax Field, WI’’ to ‘‘Madison, WI’’ to comply with changes to FAA Order JO 7400.2N; and updates the name of Dane County Regional Airport/Truax Field (previously Dane County Regional Airport-Truax Field) and the geographic coordinates of Dane County Regional Airport/Truax Field and Waunakee Airport, Waunakee, WI, to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database; Establishes Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class E surface area at Dane County Regional Airport/Truax Field within 2.4 miles each side of the Madison VORTAC 130° radial extending from the 5-mile radius of Madison Dane County Regional Airport/Truax Field to 7 miles southeast of the Madison VORTAC; and within 2.4 miles each side of the Madison VORTAC 319° radial extending from the VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:27 Jun 14, 2023 Jkt 259001 5-mile radius of Madison Dane County Regional Airport/Truax Field to 7 miles northwest of the Madison VORTAC excluding that airspace within a 1.5mile radius of Waunakee Airport; And modifies the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 7.5-mile (decreased from an 8.8-mile) radius of Dane County Regional Airport/Truax Field; removes the extension south of the airport as it is no longer required; adds an extension within 2 miles each side of the 029° bearing from the airport extending from the 7.5-mile radius to 13.7 miles north of the airport; adds an extension within 1 mile each side of the 316° bearing from the airport extending from the 7.5-mile radius to 11 miles northwest of the airport; and updates the names and geographic coordinates of Dane County Regional Airport/Truax Field (previously Dane County Regional Airport-Truax Field) and Middleton Municipal Airport/Morey Field (previously Morey Airport), Middleton, WI, to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database; and removes the cities associated with the airports in the header to comply with changes to FAA Order JO 7400.2N. 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.

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.
