Download as PDF 16450 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Anderson Municipal Airport) of the airport to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database; and updates the outdated terms ‘‘Notice to Airmen’’ and ‘‘Airport Facility/Directory’’ to ‘‘Notice to Air Missions’’ and ‘‘Chart Supplement’’; And modifies the Class E airspace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. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES 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.
