Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 24, 2023 / Proposed Rules
annual basis. This document proposes
to amend the current version of that
order, FAA Order JO 7400.11H, dated
August 11, 2023, and effective
September 15, 2023. These updates
would be published in the next update
to FAA Order JO 7400.11. That order is
publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document.
FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic
service routes, and reporting points.
Background
The FAA published an NPRM in the
Federal Register for FAA–2023–1006
(88 FR 54252; August 10, 2023) to
modify Class E airspace at the MindenTahoe Airport for the purpose of
containing the Area Navigation (RNAV)
Global Positioning System (GPS)
Runway (RWY) 16 and the RNAV (GPS)
RWY 34 approaches. Subsequent to the
publication of the NPRM, the FAA
discovered substantive errors in the
description of the proposed amendment.
This SNPRM updates the FAA’s
proposal to correct those errors.
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to 14 CFR part 71 to modify the Class
E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Minden-Tahoe
Airport, Minden, NV. The Class E
airspace’s radius is excessive and
should be reduced by 2.3 miles to be
within a 4.2-mile radius of the airport to
more appropriately contain IFR
operations.
An 8.9-mile extension should be
added to the north to better contain
departing IFR operations until they
reach 1,200 feet above the surface.
Additionally, a 7-mile extension should
be added to the south to better contain
arriving IFR operations below 1,500 feet
above the surface.
Finally, the FAA proposes
administrative modifications to the
airport’s associated legal description.
The airport’s geographic coordinates on
line three of the text header should be
updated to match the FAA’s database.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this
proposed 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:07 Oct 23, 2023
Jkt 262001
the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will
only affect air traffic procedures and air
navigation, it is certified that this
proposed rule, when promulgated, will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
Airspace, Incorporation by reference,
Navigation (air).
The Proposed Amendment
In consideration of the foregoing, the
Federal Aviation Administration
proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as
follows:
PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A,
B, C, D, AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR
TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND
REPORTING POINTS
1. The authority citation for 14 CFR

14 CFR 71.1 of FAA Order JO 7400.11H,
