Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 46 / Thursday, March 7, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
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 D airspace to
within a 4-mile (decreased from a 4.4mile) radius of the Anderson Municipal
Airport-Darlington Field, Anderson, IN;
updates the name (previously Anderson
Municipal Airport) of the airport to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database; and updates the outdated
terms ‘‘Notice to Airmen’’ and ‘‘Airport
Facility/Directory’’ to ‘‘Notice to Air
Missions’’ and ‘‘Chart Supplement’’;
And modifies 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.

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 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:19 Mar 06, 2024
Jkt 262001
no extraordinary circumstances exist
that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

of the Russian Federation or by Russia-flagged vessels, notwithstanding
whether such products have been incorporated or substantially
transformed into other products outside of the Russian Federation. The
products subject to section 1(a)(i)(B) include fish, seafood, and
preparations thereof; diamonds; and any other such products as may be
determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the
Secretary of State, the Secretary of Commerce, and the Secretary of

importation and entry into the United States, including importation for
admission into a foreign trade zone located in the United States, of
products subject to the prohibitions of sections 1(a)(i)(A) through (C)

the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the
Secretary of Commerce, and the Secretary of Homeland Security.

On February 8, 2024, pursuant to delegated authority, the Deputy
