Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 116 / Friday, June 16, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 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 FAA Order JO 7400.11 update. 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 above the surface of Redstone AAF by increasing the radius to 14.1 miles (previously 9.5 miles). The FAA amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface of Huntsville Executive Tom Sharp Field by increasing the radius to 7.6 miles (previously 6.3 miles). In doing so, the FAA removes Huntsville InternationalCarl T. Jones Field: RWY 36L–LOC from the legal description of Huntsville Executive Tom Sharp Field as it is no longer a necessary part of the legal description. In addition, this action replaces the outdated terms Airport/ Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement and Notice to Airmen with the term Notice to Air Missions in the Huntsville Class D and Class E surface airspace descriptions. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD 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 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:19 Jun 15, 2023 Jkt 259001 39347 significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.

This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it modifies Class E airspace to support IFR operations at Pullman/Moscow Regional Airport, Pullman/Moscow, WA. History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. FAA–2023–0533 in the Federal Register (88 FR 18101; March 27, 2023), modifying Class E airspace at Pullman/ Moscow Regional Airport, Pullman/ Moscow, WA. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 39349 on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Differences From the NPRM Subsequent to the publication of the NPRM, the FAA identified a typographical error in the docket number used in the proposal. The correct docket number is FAA–2023– 0533, not FAA–2022–0533. The Airspace Docket Number (22–ANM–64) remains the same, as it was correct in the NPRM. Additionally, the phrase ‘‘extending upward from the surface’’ was missing from the first sentence of the Pullman/Moscow, WA E2 legal description in the NPRM. The phrase was added in this final rule as it is needed to align with the intent and purpose of Class E2 airspace. Incorporation by Reference Class E2 and E5 airspace areas are published in paragraphs 6002 and 6005, respectively, 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.

The Class E surface area is expanded to better contain departing IFR operations until they reach the base of adjacent controlled airspace on the Runway (RWY) 23 Obstacle Departure Procedure (ODP). A 4.5-mile radius around the airport fully contains this procedure and appropriately contains IFR arrival operations between the surface and 1,000 feet above the surface. The extension northeast of the surface area centered on the airport’s 046° bearing is now centered on the 058° bearing. It is also widened on either side of the 046° bearing—from 1.7 miles to 2.3 miles—to better contain departing IFR operations until they reach the base of adjacent controlled airspace on the E:\FR\FM\16JNR1.SGM 16JNR1

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 
the 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 updates the information in the Madison Dane County 
Regional Airport-Truax Field, WI, Class C airspace description.

History

    During a review of the Madison Dane County Regional Airport-Truax 
Field, WI, Class C airspace description, the FAA identified the need to 
update the airport name, the ARP geographic coordinates for the Dane 
County Regional Airport-Truax Field and the Waunakee Airport, and 
replace the outdated terms ``Notice to Airmen'' and ``Airport/Facility 
Directory''.

Incorporation by Reference

    Class C airspace areas are published in paragraph 4000 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 updating the Madison Dane 
County Regional Airport-Truax Field, WI, Class C airspace description 
as published in FAA Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace Designations and 
Reporting Points. The airport name ``Dane County Regional Airport-Truax 
Field'' is changed to ``Dane County Regional/Truax Field,'' to match 
the Airport Master Record database, and the ARP geographic coordinates 
are updated from ``lat. 43[deg]08'22'' N, long. 89[deg]20'14'' W'' to 
``lat. 43[deg]08'24'' N, long. 089[deg]20'15'' W.'' The ARP geographic 
coordinates for the Waunakee Airport are updated from ``lat. 
43[deg]11'00'' N, long 89[deg]27'00'' W'' to ``lat. 43[deg]10'43'' N, 
long. 089[deg]27'05'' W.'' The ARP coordinates updates are made to 
match the FAA's NASR database information. The airport name is removed 
from the first line in the text header of the description leaving just 
the city and state location of the airport. These changes follow the 
current formatting standard. In the body of the Class C description, 
the outdated term ``Notice to Airman'' is replaced by ``Notice to Air 
Missions'' and the outdated term ``Airport/Facility Directory'' is 
replaced by ``Chart Supplement.''
    This action consists of administrative changes only and 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 ``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 of making administrative 
edits to the Madison Dane County Regional Airport-Truax Field, WI, 
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 further 
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; 
Air Traffic Service Routes; and Reporting Points). As such, this 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.
