Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 136 / Tuesday, July 18, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
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
Class E airspace for Sugarloaf Regional
Airport, Carrabassett, ME, to support
IFR operations in the area.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA 2023–0837 in the Federal Register
(88 FR 29562; May 8, 2023), proposing
to amend Class E airspace at Sugarloaf
Regional Airport, Carrabassett, ME.
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,
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1 annually. 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
amending Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
for Sugarloaf Regional Airport,
Carrabassett, ME, to accommodate area
navigation (RNAV) global positioning
system (GPS) standard instrument
approach procedures (SIAPs) serving
this airport. This action amends the
existing extension from the airport to
the 166° bearing (previously 346°), as an
airspace evaluation determined the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
existing extension was determined in
error, as no instrument approaches exist
for runway 17. The GPS–A approach for
runway 35 requires the 166° bearing
extension. This action also updates the
airport’s geographic coordinates to
coincide with the FAA’s database.
Controlled airspace is necessary for the
safety and management of instrument
flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.
§ 71.1
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 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.

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

described in Subtitle VII, Part A,
Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that
section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to assign the use

History
During a review of the Palm Beach
International Airport, FL Class C
airspace description, the FAA identified
the need to update the text header
format for the Palm Beach International
Airport Class C airspace description as
published in FAA Order JO 7400.11G.
Incorporation by Reference
Class C airspace areas are published
in paragraph 4000 of FAA Order JO

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
making an editorial change to the Palm
Beach International Airport, FL Class C
airspace description as published in
FAA Order JO 7400.11G. The words
‘‘Palm Beach International Airport’’ are
removed from the first line in the Class
C description and replaced by the words
‘‘West Palm Beach’’. This change aligns
with the current formatting standard
which requires that the city location of
the airport be stated in the first line of
the description and the airport name be
stated on the second line. The action
does not make any changes to the
remainder of the Class C description as
currently published in FAA Order JO
7400.11G.
This action consists of administrative
changes only and does not affect the
geographic coordinates, boundaries, or
altitudes 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

action of making administrative edits to
the West Palm Beach, FL 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are
adopting an updated Filer Manual,
Volume II: ‘‘EDGAR Filing,’’ Version 66
(June 2023) and amendments to 17 CFR
232.301 (‘‘Rule 301’’). The updated Filer
Manual is incorporated by reference
into the Code of Federal Regulations.
I. Background
The Filer Manual contains
information needed for filers to make
submissions on EDGAR. Filers must
comply with the applicable provisions
of the Filer Manual in order to assure
the timely acceptance and processing of
filings made in electronic format.1 Filers
must consult the Filer Manual in
conjunction with our rules governing
mandated electronic filings when
preparing documents for electronic
submission.
II. EDGAR System Changes and
Associated Modifications to Volume II
of the Filer Manual
EDGAR is being updated in EDGAR
Release 23.2, and corresponding
amendments to Volume II of the Filer
Manual are being made to reflect these
changes, as described below.2
On December 16, 2020, the
Commission adopted 17 CFR 240.13q–1
(‘‘Rule 13q–1’’) and an amendment to
Form SD pursuant to section 13(q) of the
Exchange Act,3 which directs the
Commission to issue rules requiring
resource extraction issuers to include in
their annual report, submitted in an
interactive data format, information
relating to payments made to a foreign
government or the Federal Government
for the purpose of the commercial
development of oil, natural gas, or
minerals.4
In accordance with Rule 13q–1 as
amended, Forms SD and SD/A will be
updated to allow filers to submit two
new exhibit types: Exhibit 2.01—
Resource Extraction Payment Report, as
Rule 301 of Regulation S–T.
Release 23.2 will be deployed on June
20, 2023.

required by Item 2.01 of this Form; and
Exhibit 3.01—Opinion of Counsel, as
required by Rule 13q–1(d)(1) or (2).5
Pursuant to the rules, EDGAR requires
an Exhibit 2.01 in order to accept a
Form SD submission unless a resource
extraction issuer is controlled by
another resource extraction issuer that
has submitted a Form SD disclosing the
information required by Item 2.01 for
the controlled entity, and the controlled
entity submits a notice on Form SD
identifying the controlling entity and
the date it submitted the disclosure. In
such cases, the reporting controlling
entity must note that it is submitting the
required disclosure for a controlled
entity and must identify the controlled
entity on its Form SD submission.
In conjunction with the amendment,
the taxonomy for Resource Extraction
Payments (RXP) and Sub-national
Jurisdiction (SNJ) for Form SD is
updated to address the new tagging
requirements.6
EDGAR Release 23.2 also makes
general functional enhancements to
EDGAR, for which revisions are made to
the Filer Manual as described below.
The EDGAR system is being updated
to support the 2023 versions of the
following taxonomies:
• Open End Fund (OEF) for Forms N–
CSR, N–CSRS, and N–1A; 7
• International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS);
• U.S. Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP)
Financial Reporting;
• SEC Reporting taxonomy; and
• Other XBRL taxonomies accepted in
EDGAR.8
EDGAR will no longer accept the 2021
versions of taxonomies (all taxonomies
currently accepted in EDGAR including
the quarterly releases in 2021). Further,
the version of all taxonomies within a
submission must now be from the same
year (including quarterly releases).
In addition, as part of the upcoming
EDGAR Release 23.2, we plan to remove
the following content from Volume II of
the Filer Manual:
• List of prior EDGAR releases (pp.
xvi to xxvi of the current version)—this

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 Palm Beach International
Airport, FL Class C airspace description.
History
During a review of the Palm Beach International Airport, FL Class C
airspace description, the FAA identified the need to update the text
header format for the Palm Beach International Airport Class C airspace
description as published in FAA Order JO 7400.11G.
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 making an editorial change to
the Palm Beach International Airport, FL Class C airspace description
as published in FAA Order JO 7400.11G. The words ``Palm Beach
International Airport'' are removed from the first line in the Class C
description and replaced by the words ``West Palm Beach''. This change
aligns with the current formatting standard which requires that the
city location of the airport be stated in the first line of the
description and the airport name be stated on the second line. The
action does not make any changes to the remainder of the Class C
description as currently published in FAA Order JO 7400.11G.
This action consists of administrative changes only and does not
affect the geographic coordinates, boundaries, or altitudes 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 West Palm Beach, FL 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.
