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 the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at James A. Rhodes Airport, Jackson, OH, to support IFR operations at this airport. History The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA–2023–2113 in the Federal Register (88 FR 76158; November 6, 2023) proposing to amend the Class E airspace at Jackson, OH. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1 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.

The Rule This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by amending VOR Federal Airway V–4 in the vicinity of Burley, ID. The FAA is taking this action to update one of the radials used in the airway description. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:45 Jan 10, 2024 Jkt 262001 During a review of VOR Federal Airway V–4, the FAA discovered that V–4 was established without the accuracy of the Terminal Area Route Generation and Traffic Simulation software tool used today. Because of this, there is a onedegree discrepancy in the airway description. The current airway description for V–4 includes the intersection of the Boise, ID, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/ Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) 130° and the Burley, ID, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/ Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/ DME) 292° radials (ALKAL, Fix). However, the ALKAL Fix has been reviewed and is located at the intersection of the Boise VORTAC 130° and the Burley VOR/DME 293° radials. This action corrects the Burley VOR/ DME radial used for defining the ALKAL Fix. The amendment is described below. V–4: V–4 currently extends between the Tatoosh, WA, VORTAC and the Armel, VA, VOR/DME and includes the intersection of the INT Boise 130° and Burley, ID, 292° radials (ALKAL, Fix). This rule changes the component radials that makeup the ALKAL Fix to the intersection of the Boise VORTAC 130° and Burley VOR/DME 293° radials. The radials in the V–4 airway description are listed in degrees True north. 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.

As such, this action is not expected to result in 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.

Telephone (405) 954–1139. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by establishing, amending, suspending, or removes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPS. The complete regulatory description of each SIAP and its associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed on FAA form documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR 97.20. The applicable FAA Forms 8260–3, 8260–4, 8260–5, 8260–15A, 8260–15B, when required by an entry on 8260–15A, and 8260–15C. The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, pilots do not use the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers or aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 1803 by reference are realized and publication of the complete description of each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form documents is unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and specifies the types of SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the airport and its location, the procedure, and the amendment number. Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section. The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for part 97 of this final rule. The Rule This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center (FDC) Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate flights safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts. The circumstances that created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided. Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs contained in this amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days. 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 E:\FR\FM\11JAR1.SGM 11JAR1

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 modify the route structure as necessary to 
preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the National 
Airspace System (NAS).

Incorporation by Reference

    VOR Federal Airways are published in paragraph 6010 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. 
These updates will be published 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 Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by amending VOR Federal Airway V-
4 in the vicinity of Burley, ID. The FAA is taking this action to 
update one of the radials used in the airway description. During a 
review of VOR Federal Airway V-4, the FAA discovered that V-4 was 
established without the accuracy of the Terminal Area Route Generation 
and Traffic Simulation software tool used today. Because of this, there 
is a one-degree discrepancy in the airway description. The current 
airway description for V-4 includes the intersection of the Boise, ID, 
Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation 
(VORTAC) 130[deg] and the Burley, ID, Very High Frequency 
Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) 292[deg] 
radials (ALKAL, Fix). However, the ALKAL Fix has been reviewed and is 
located at the intersection of the Boise VORTAC 130[deg] and the Burley 
VOR/DME 293[deg] radials. This action corrects the Burley VOR/DME 
radial used for defining the ALKAL Fix. The amendment is described 
below.
    V-4: V-4 currently extends between the Tatoosh, WA, VORTAC and the 
Armel, VA, VOR/DME and includes the intersection of the INT Boise 
130[deg] and Burley, ID, 292[deg] radials (ALKAL, Fix). This rule 
changes the component radials that makeup the ALKAL Fix to the 
intersection of the Boise VORTAC 130[deg] and Burley VOR/DME 293[deg] 
radials.
    The radials in the V-4 airway description are listed in degrees 
True north.

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 action of amending Federal Airway 
V-4 in the vicinity of Burley, 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-
6.5.k., which categorically excludes from further environmental review 
the publication of existing air traffic control procedures that do not 
essentially change existing tracks, create new tracks, change altitude, 
or change concentration of aircraft on these tracks. As such, this 
action is not expected to result in 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 prepared of an 
environmental impact statement.
