Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 8 / Thursday, January 11, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
document. These amendments will be
published in the next update to FAA
Order JO 7400.11.
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 amendment to 14 CFR part 71
modifies the Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
to within an 8-mile (decreased from a
12.5-mile) radius of Bedford County
Airport, Bedford, PA; and within 2
miles each side of the 128° bearing from
the airport extending from the 8-mile
radius to 13 miles southeast of the
airport; and within 2 miles each side of
the 308° bearing from the airport
extending from the 8-mile radius to 14.
8 miles northwest of the airport.
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 so 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
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
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 5–6.5.a. This airspace action
is not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts, and
no extraordinary circumstances exist
that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

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 the 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
increase the efficiency and safety of the
flow of air traffic within the National
Airspace System (NAS).
History
The FAA published a NPRM for
Docket No. FAA–2023–1548 in the
Federal Register (88 FR 46121; July 19,
2023), proposing to amend RNAV route
T–302 in the vicinity of Acequia, ID.
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting comments on the proposal.
No comments were received.

Differences From the NPRM
The NPRM published for Docket No.
FAA–2023–1548 in the Federal Register
(88 FR 46121; July 19, 2023) contained
a typographical error in the table listing
the route points that describe the
airway. The table stated that the UKAYI
waypoint (WP) was in Idaho (ID). The
UKAYI WP is in Oregon (OR). This rule
corrects this error.
Incorporation by Reference
United States Area Navigation routes
are published in paragraph 6011 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 update to FAA
Order JO 7400.11.
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 RNAV route T–302 in the
vicinity of Acequia, ID, to increase the
RNAV route’s lateral separation from R–
3203 and from parachute activities at
Nampa Municipal Airport and Caldwell
Executive Airport in Idaho. The
amendment is described below.
T–302: This rule adds the ALKAL, ID,
Fix to the airway description.
Additionally, the CANEK, ID, Fix is
added between the ADEXE, ID, WP and
the ALKAL, ID, Fix. Lastly, this rule
removes the PARMO, ID, Fix from the
airway. As amended T–302 extends
between the CUKIS, OR, WP and the
GRIFT, IL, WP.

currently approved procedures
conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do
not significantly increase noise over
noise sensitive areas; and increases in
minimum altitudes and landing
minima. As such, this action is not
expected to result in any potentially
significant environmental impacts. In
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F,
paragraph 5–2 regarding Extraordinary
Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed
this action for factors and circumstances
in which a normally categorically
excluded action may have a significant
environmental impact requiring further
analysis. Accordingly, the FAA has
determined that no extraordinary
circumstances exist that warrant
preparation of an environmental
assessment or environmental impact
study.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this
airspace action of amending RNAV
route T–302 in the vicinity of Acequia,
ID, qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and
its implementing regulations at 40 CFR
part 1500, and in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts:
Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5–
6.5a, which categorically excludes from
further environmental impact review
rulemaking actions that designate or
modify classes of airspace areas,
airways, routes, and reporting points
(see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of
Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas;
Air Traffic Service Routes; and
Reporting Points), and paragraph 5–6.5i,
which categorically excludes from
further environmental review the
establishment of new or revised air
traffic control procedures conducted at
3,000 feet or more above ground level
(AGL); procedures conducted below
3,000 feet AGL that do not cause traffic
to be routinely routed over noise
sensitive areas; modifications to

of the Darwin very high frequency
omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of
the VOR Minimum Operating Network
(MON) Program. The name of the airport
is also being updated to coincide with
the FAA’s aeronautical database. This
action brings the airspace into
compliance with FAA orders to support
instrument flight rule (IFR) operations.

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 the
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Hutchinson
Municipal Airport/Butler Field,
Hutchinson, MN, to support IFR
operations at this airport.
History
The FAA published an NPRM for
Docket No. FAA–2023–2116 in the
Federal Register (88 FR 76153;
November 6, 2023) proposing to amend
the Class E airspace at Hutchinson, MN.

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,
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 update to FAA
Order JO 7400.11.
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 amendment to 14 CFR part 71
modifies the Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
to within a 6.4-mile (decreased from a
6.6-mile) radius of Hutchinson
Municipal Airport/Butler Field,
Hutchinson, MN; and updates the name
(previously Hutchinson Municipal
Airport-Butler Field) of airport to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database.
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 so minimal. Since this is a
routine matter that only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when

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
the 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 increase the efficiency and safety of the flow of
air traffic within the National Airspace System (NAS).
History
The FAA published a NPRM for Docket No. FAA-2023-1548 in the
Federal Register (88 FR 46121; July 19, 2023), proposing to amend RNAV
route T-302 in the vicinity of Acequia, ID. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting comments
on the proposal. No comments were received.

Differences From the NPRM
The NPRM published for Docket No. FAA-2023-1548 in the Federal
Register (88 FR 46121; July 19, 2023) contained a typographical error
in the table listing the route points that describe the airway. The
table stated that the UKAYI waypoint (WP) was in Idaho (ID). The UKAYI
WP is in Oregon (OR). This rule corrects this error.
Incorporation by Reference
United States Area Navigation routes are published in paragraph
6011 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 update to FAA Order JO 7400.11.
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 RNAV route T-302 in
the vicinity of Acequia, ID, to increase the RNAV route's lateral
separation from R-3203 and from parachute activities at Nampa Municipal
Airport and Caldwell Executive Airport in Idaho. The amendment is
described below.
T-302: This rule adds the ALKAL, ID, Fix to the airway description.
Additionally, the CANEK, ID, Fix is added between the ADEXE, ID, WP and
the ALKAL, ID, Fix. Lastly, this rule removes the PARMO, ID, Fix from
the airway. As amended T-302 extends between the CUKIS, OR, WP and the
GRIFT, IL, WP.
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 so 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 airspace action of amending RNAV
route T-302 in the vicinity of Acequia, ID, qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321
et seq.) and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures, paragraph 5-6.5a, which categorically excludes from further
environmental impact review rulemaking actions that designate or modify
classes of airspace areas, airways, routes, and reporting points (see
14 CFR part 71, Designation of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas;
Air Traffic Service Routes; and Reporting Points), and paragraph 5-
6.5i, which categorically excludes from further environmental review
the establishment of new or revised air traffic control procedures
conducted at 3,000 feet or more above ground level (AGL); procedures
conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do not cause traffic to be
routinely routed over noise sensitive areas; modifications to currently
approved procedures conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do not
significantly increase noise over noise sensitive areas; and increases
in minimum altitudes and landing minima. As such, this action is not
expected to result in any potentially significant environmental
impacts. In accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding
Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed this action for
factors and circumstances in which a normally categorically excluded
action may have a significant environmental impact requiring further
analysis. Accordingly, the FAA has determined that no extraordinary
circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental
assessment or environmental impact study.
