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 amends Class E airspace in Statesboro, GA.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 
FAA 2023-2051 in the Federal Register on November 2, 2023 (88 FR 
75242), proposing to amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 
feet above the surface for Statesboro-Bulloch County Airport, 
Statesboro, GA. 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 E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005 of 
FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 annually. 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 amending Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Statesboro-Bulloch 
County Airport, Statesboro, GA, by increasing the Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to 7.2-miles 
(previously 6.5-miles), to support a revised RNAV approach procedure. 
In addition, this action updates the airport name (formerly Statesboro 
Municipal Airport) and the geographic coordinates to coincide with the 
FAA's database. Controlled airspace is necessary for the

[[Page 89293]]

area's safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) 
operations.

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 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.
