The Class E airspace extending from 700 feet above the surface would be amended by increasing the radius to 8.3 miles (previously 8.2 miles) and adding that airspace within 2 miles on each side of the Tri-State/Milton J.

Please cite GSAR Case 2022–G517. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background As one of the largest Federal purchasing agencies, the General Services Administration (GSA) purchases an enormous variety of different products. Despite product diversity, one element that is consistent across these acquisitions is the presence of product packaging and shipment packaging. Single-use plastic packaging has an additional cost that is often built into the proposed price, or the price is later realized in the cost of waste management. In addition, the cost of cleaning up environmental pollution and the cost of impacts to human health created by single-use plastics are often not accounted for in the price of the product. A large portion of plastic waste comes from plastic packaging alone, and much of this packaging is designed to be used only once. This rule represents a small step in addressing the larger problem of too much plastic waste. GSA amended internal policy guidance in the GSA Acquisition Manual (GSAM) Change 138, Case 2021–G528 1 to address acquisition planning as it relates to waste, sourcing, efficiency, and content management. GSA is now seeking a regulatory action that will be applied to its Federal Supply Schedules (FSS). Multiple factors contributed to the decision to propose this regulatory action. These factors include: (a) existing policy and guidance, (b) GSA Acquisition Policy Federal Advisory Committee (GAP FAC) recommendations, (c) Advanced Notice of Proposed Rule (ANPR) public comments, and (d) current industry practices. More detailed information is provided below on the various information reviewed in the development of this rule. Objectives This proposed rule addresses the following: • Defines SUP-free packaging and single-use plastic packaging in 502.101 Definitions. • Adds a new FSS provision to identify SUP-free packaging at 552.238– XXX. This provision requires the offeror to identify whether they do or do not offer SUP-free packaging. If the offeror provides SUP-free packaging, it will also identify whether the SUP-free packaging 1 https://www.acquisition.gov/archives/change138-gsam-case-2021-g528. E:\FR\FM\26DEP1.SGM 26DEP1

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 would amend Class D and E airspace in Huntington, WV. An airspace 
evaluation determined that this update is necessary to support IFR 
operations in the area.

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites interested persons to participate in this 
rulemaking by submitting written comments, data, or views. Comments are 
specifically invited on the proposal's overall regulatory, 
aeronautical, economic, environmental, and energy-related aspects. The 
most helpful comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, 
explain the reason for any recommended change, and include supporting 
data. To ensure the docket does not contain duplicate comments, 
commenters should submit only once if comments are filed 
electronically, or commenters should send only one copy of written 
comments if comments are filed in writing.
    The FAA will file in the docket all comments it receives and a 
report summarizing each substantive public contact with FAA personnel 
concerning this proposed rulemaking. Before acting on this proposal, 
the FAA will consider all comments it receives on or before the closing 
date for comments. The FAA will consider comments filed after the 
comment period has closed if it is possible without incurring expense 
or delay. The FAA may change this proposal in light of the comments it 
receives.
    Privacy: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), the DOT solicits 
comments from the public to improve its rulemaking process. DOT posts 
these comments, without edit, including any personal information the 
commenter provides, to www.regulations.gov, as described in the system 
of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at 
www.dot.gov/privacy.

Availability of Rulemaking Documents

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the 
internet at www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking 
documents can be accessed through the FAA's web page at www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/airspace_amendments/.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any 
comments received, and any final disposition in person in the Dockets 
Office (see ADDRESSES section for address and phone number) between 
9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for Federal

4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except on federal holidays at the 
office of the Eastern Service Center, Federal Aviation Administration,

Incorporation by Reference

    Class D and Class E airspace designations are 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 
annually. This document proposes to amend the current version of that 
order, FAA Order JO 7400.11H, dated August 11, 2023, effective 
September 15, 2023. These updates will be published in the next FAA 
Order JO 7400.11 update. 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 proposes an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend Class D 
airspace by adding that airspace extending upward from the surface 
within 1 mile on each side of the Tri-State/Milton J. Ferguson Field 
112[deg] bearing extending from the 4-mile radius to 5.7 southeast of 
the airport and 292[deg] bearing from the airport extending from the 4-
mile radius to 5.8 miles northwest of the airport.
    The Class E airspace extending from 700 feet above the surface 
would be amended by increasing the radius to 8.3 miles (previously 8.2 
miles) and adding that airspace within 2 miles on each side of the Tri-
State/Milton J. Ferguson Field 112[deg] bearing extending from the 8.3-
mile radius to 10.2 miles southeast of the airport.
    The Tri-State/Milton J. Ferguson Field Class D and Class E airspace 
would be amended, in accordance with the 7400.2, by removing the city 
name from the descriptor header.
    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 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 
Department of Transportation (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 per FAA 
Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures,'' 
before any FAA final regulatory action.
