Incorporation by Reference
Class D and Class E airspace is
published in paragraphs 5000 and 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 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
subsequently 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.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing to amend 14
CFR part 71 by:
Amending the Class D airspace to
within a 4-mile (decreased from a 4.4mile) radius of the Anderson Municipal
Airport-Darlington Field, Anderson, IN;
updating the name (previously
Anderson Municipal Airport) of the
airport to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database; and updating the
outdated terms ‘‘Notice to Airmen’’ and
‘‘Airport Facility/Directory’’ to ‘‘Notice
to Air Missions’’ and ‘‘Chart
Supplement’’;
And amending the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Anderson Municipal
Airport-Darlington Field by updating
the name (previously Anderson
Municipal Airport) to coincide with the
FAA’s aeronautical database.
The FAA is proposing this action as
the result of an airspace review
conducted due to the decommissioning
of the Muncie VOR as part of the VOR
MON Program and to support IFR
operations.
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
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.

Authority for This Rulemaking
Availability of Rulemaking Documents
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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 would
amend the Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Vermilion Regional Airport, Danville,
IL, to support IFR operations at this
airport.

Classification System (NAICS) codes is
not intended to be exhaustive, but rather
provides a guide to help readers
determine whether this document
applies to them. Potentially affected
entities may include:
• Crop production (NAICS code 111).
• Animal production (NAICS code

• Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS
code 32532).
B. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this
information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark
the part or all of the information that
you claim to be CBI. For CBI
information in a disk or CD–ROM that
you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the
disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then
identify electronically within the disk or
CD–ROM the specific information that
is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that
includes information claimed as CBI, a
copy of the comment that does not
contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the
public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments.
When preparing and submitting your
comments, see the commenting tips at
https://www.epa.gov/dockets/

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to
achieve environmental justice, the fair
treatment and meaningful involvement
of any group, including minority and/or
low-income populations, in the
development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies. To help
address potential environmental justice
issues, the Agency seeks information on
any groups or segments of the
population who, as a result of their
location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or
disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental
effects from exposure to the pesticides
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.
II. What action is the Agency taking?
EPA is announcing receipt of a
pesticide petition filed under section
408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a,
requesting the establishment or
modification of regulations in 40 CFR

Airport) and geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the
FAA's aeronautical database; and removing the city associated with the
airport from the header to comply with changes to FAA Order JO 7400.2P,
Procedures for Handling Airspace Matters.
The FAA is proposing this action as the result of an airspace
review conducted due to the decommissioning of the Danville VOR as part
of the VOR MON Program and to support IFR operations.
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 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

accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
