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 removes Class D and Class E airspace in Milton, FL. The FAA determined that this update is necessary to support operations in the area due to the closing of the air traffic control tower and cancellation of all instrument approaches.

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 D and Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraphs 5000, 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. 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 FAA Order JO 7400.11 update. 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 removing Class D airspace, Class E surface airspace, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Choctaw NOLF, Milton, FL, due to the closing of the air traffic control tower, and cancellation of all instrument approaches. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in the area. 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 E:\FR\FM\07NOR1.SGM 07NOR1 76656 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 214 / Tuesday, November 7, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 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 5–6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances warrant the preparation of an environmental assessment.

Discussion In this document, the Bureau makes minor revisions to regulations in 28 CFR part 543, subpart C—Federal Tort Claims Act that clarify requirements for presenting claims and correct obsolete and/or incorrect references to Bureau offices. Each of these minor changes is discussed below. Where to present the claim. The Bureau revises section 543.31, paragraph (c), to delete extraneous language and language indicating that if a loss or injury occurs in a training center, claimants may forward claims to the Associate General Counsel, Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. This inaccurately identifies the appropriate office designated to receive claims involving Bureau training centers. Claims are now accepted and processed at the appropriate Bureau Regional Counsel office for the region in which the training center is located. Deletion of ‘‘a training center.’’ Also in section 543.32, Processing the claim, the Bureau deletes the phrase ‘‘a training center’’ in paragraph (b). This paragraph indicates that if a claim is submitted to the incorrect office, the claimant will be notified that the claim was transferred to the appropriate office. The appropriate office may be another BOP office or another Federal agency. It will no longer refer to a training center, however, because such claims will no longer be processed there (see discussion above on ‘‘where to present the claim’’). Requests for additional information during investigations of claims. The Bureau deletes ‘‘rejection or’’ in the last sentence of section 543.32(c) to clarify that, after a claim has been properly E:\FR\FM\07NOR1.SGM 07NOR1

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 removes Class D and Class E airspace in Milton, FL. The FAA 
determined that this update is necessary to support operations in the 
area due to the closing of the air traffic control tower and 
cancellation of all instrument approaches.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 
FAA 2023-1780 in the Federal Register (88 FR 60910; September 6, 2023), 
removing Class D airspace, Class E surface airspace, and Class E 
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Choctaw 
NOLF, Milton, FL, as the air traffic control tower has closed, and all 
instrument approaches canceled. 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 D and Class E airspace designations are published in 
Paragraphs 5000, 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. 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 FAA Order JO 7400.11 
update.
    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 removing Class D airspace, 
Class E surface airspace, and Class E airspace extending upward from 
700 feet above the surface for Choctaw NOLF, Milton, FL, due to the 
closing of the air traffic control tower, and cancellation of all 
instrument approaches. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety 
and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.

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

[[Page 76656]]

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 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to 
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no 
extraordinary circumstances warrant the preparation of an environmental 
assessment.
