Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 153 / Thursday, August 10, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
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 in Covington, TN, to
support IFR operations in the area.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA 2023–1082 in the Federal Register
(88 FR 29579; May 08, 2023), proposing
to amend Class E airspace for Covington
Municipal Airport, Covington, TN.
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
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
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 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.
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.
ASO TN E5—Covington, TN [Amended]
Covington Municipal Airport, TN
(Lat 35°35′00″ N, long 89°35′14″ W)
That airspace extends upward from 700
feet above the surface within a 10.2-mile
radius of Covington Municipal Airport.
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.

The Amendment
In consideration of the foregoing, the

The Rule
■
This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by
amending Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
for Covington Municipal Airport,
Covington, TN, to accommodate area
navigation (RNAV) global positioning
system (GPS) standard instrument
approach procedures (SIAPs) serving
this airport. This amendment supports a
new instrument approach at this airport.
The existing radius would be increased
to 10.2 miles (previously 7 miles).
Controlled airspace is necessary for the
safety and management of instrument
flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
The FAA published a final rule in the
Federal Register for Docket No. FAA–
2023–1533 (88 FR 45812; July 18, 2023)
that amended the text header in the
Palm Beach International Airport, FL
Class C airspace description as
published in FAA Order JO 7400.11G.
The change removed the words ‘‘Palm
Beach International Airport’’ from the
first line in the Class C description and
replaced them with the words ‘‘West
Palm Beach’’. This change aligned with
the current formatting standard which
requires that the city location of the
airport be stated on the first line of the
description and the airport name be
stated on the second line. In the
regulatory text of the rule, the text
describing Area C of the Class C
airspace area was inadvertently omitted.
This action reinserts Area C in the Class
C description.
Area A. That airspace extending upward
from the surface to and including 4,000 feet
MSL within a 5-mile radius of the Palm
Beach International Airport, excluding that
airspace within a 2-mile radius of the Palm
Beach County Park Airport.
Area B. That airspace extending upward
from 1,600 feet MSL to and including 4,000
feet MSL within an area bounded on the
north by a line direct from the intersection
of the Florida Turnpike (highway 91) and
Lantana Road to the intersection of a 5-mile
radius of the Palm Beach International
Airport and a 2-mile radius west of the Palm
Beach County Park Airport and a 2-mile
radius north of the Palm Beach County Park
Airport, on the east by a line direct from the
intersection of a 5-mile radius of the Palm
Beach International Airport and a 2-mile
radius east of the Palm Beach County Park
Airport to the intersection of a 10-mile radius
of the Palm Beach International Airport and
U.S. 1, on the south by a 10-mile radius of
the Palm Beach International Airport, and on
the west by the Florida Turnpike.
Area C. That airspace extending upward
from1,200 feet MSL to and including 4,000
