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 modifies Class E airspace to supports the safety and management of IFR operations at Alliance Municipal Airport. E:\FR\FM\18SER1.SGM 18SER1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 179 / Monday, September 18, 2023 / Rules and Regulations History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. FAA–2023–0583 in the Federal Register (88 FR 22385, April 13, 2023), proposing to modify Class E airspace at Alliance Municipal Airport, Alliance, NE. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. The FAA published a final rule for this docket in the Federal Register (88 FR 55553) on August 16, 2023, with an effective date of October 5, 2023. For administrative reasons, the FAA republishes this final rule with a delayed effective date of November 30, 2023, and an amendment to the currently effective version of FAA Order JO 7400.11.

Class E airspace beginning at 700 feet above the surface is expanded to a 7.6-mile radius to fully contain arriving IFR aircraft operating below 1,500 feet above the surface. 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:38 Sep 15, 2023 Jkt 259001 promulgated, does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 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.

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 modifies Class E airspace to supports the safety and 
management of IFR operations at Alliance Municipal Airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 
FAA-2023-0583 in the Federal Register (88 FR 22385, April 13, 2023), 
proposing to modify Class E airspace at Alliance Municipal Airport, 
Alliance, NE. Interested parties were invited to participate in this 
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the 
FAA. No comments were received. The FAA published a final rule for this 
docket in the Federal Register (88 FR 55553) on August 16, 2023, with 
an effective date of October 5, 2023. For administrative reasons, the 
FAA republishes this final rule with a delayed effective date of 
November 30, 2023, and an amendment to the currently effective version 
of FAA Order JO 7400.11.

Incorporation by Reference

    Class E5 airspace area is published in paragraph 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 
7400.11H, dated August 11, 2023 and effective September 15, 2023. FAA 
Order JO 7400.11H 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 7400.11H 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 modifying Class E airspace 
beginning at 700 feet above the surface at Alliance Municipal Airport, 
NE. Class E airspace beginning at 700 feet above the surface is 
expanded to a 7.6-mile radius to fully contain arriving IFR aircraft 
operating below 1,500 feet above the surface.

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.
