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 D airspace and Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface and revokes the Class E
airspace designated as an extension to
Class D airspace at North Central West
Virginia Airport, Clarksburg, WV, to
support IFR operations at this 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.
AEA WV D
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
no extraordinary circumstances exist
that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is
establishing a temporary safety zone for
navigable waters West of Indian Island
in Port Townsend Bay, Washington. The
safety zone is needed to protect
personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment from potential hazards
created by a naval exercise. Entry of
vessels or persons into this zone is
prohibited unless specifically
authorized by the Captain of the Port
Sector Puget Sound.
DATES: This rule is effective from 7 a.m.
on March 12, 2024, through 7 p.m.
March 14, 2024.

Jkt 262001
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary rule under authority in 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B). This statutory
provision authorizes an agency to issue
a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the
agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ‘‘impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.’’ The Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because it is
contrary to the public interest to publish
a notice of proposed rulemaking
regarding the movement of United
States Navy vessels undergoing national
security exercises in advance, as some
of the movements are classified. It is
impracticable for the Coast Guard to
publish an NPRM because we must
establish this safety zone by March 12,
2024 and lack sufficient time to provide
a reasonable comment period and then
consider those comments before issuing
the rule.
Also, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the
Coast Guard finds that good cause exists
for making this rule effective less than
30 days after publication in the Federal
Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable
because immediate action is needed to
respond to potential safety hazards
associated with the naval exercise.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034. The
Captain of the Port Sector Puget Sound
(COTP) has determined that potential
hazards associated with the naval
exercise starting March 12, 2024, will be
a safety concern for anyone within a
100-yard radius of the exercise area.
This rule is needed to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment in
the navigable waters within the safety
zone while the exercise is being
conducted.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a safety zone
from 7 a.m. on March 12, 2024 through
7 p.m. on March 14, 2024. The safety
zone will cover all navigable waters
bounded by the following coordinates:
commencing west of Indian Island at
latitude 48°4′13.3″ N, longitude
122°46′37.5″ W: thence northernly to
latitude 48°5′43.6″ N, longitude
122°47′4.1″ W: thence easterly to
latitude 48°5′43.6″ N, longitude
122°44′49.3″ W: thence south easterly to
latitude 48°5′17.7″ N, longitude
122°44′40.5″ W: thence south westerly
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4700

to latitude 48°4′51.8″ N, longitude
122°45′19.1″ W: thence south easterly to
latitude 48°2′43.8″ N, longitude
122°44′41.6″ W: thence westerly to
latitude 48°2′37.1″ N, longitude
122°45′33.5″ W: thence northerly to
latitude 48°3′35.6″ N, longitude
122°45′50″ W to the point of beginning.
The duration of the zone is intended
to protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment in these navigable
waters while the exercise is being
conducted. No vessel or person will be
permitted to enter the safety zone
without obtaining permission from the
COTP or a designated representative.
V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and
Executive orders, and we discuss First
Amendment rights of protestors.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
direct agencies to assess the costs and
benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits.
This rule has not been designated a
‘‘significant regulatory action,’’ under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as
amended by Executive Order 14094
(Modernizing Regulatory Review).
Accordingly, this rule has not been
reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB).
This regulatory action determination
is based on the size, location, and
duration of the safety zone. The
regulated area consists of all navigable
waterways within 100 yards of the
established area in Port Townsend Bay,
WA as previously listed. The safety
zone will be enforced for a maximum of
36 hours total and thus is limited in
time and scope. Although persons and
vessels will not be able to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the
safety zone without authorization from
the COTP or a designated
representative, vessel traffic will be able
to safely transit around this safety zone
and the rule will allow vessels to seek
permission to transit the zone.
B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of
1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended,
requires Federal agencies to consider
the potential impact of regulations on
small entities during rulemaking. The
term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises small
businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and

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 D airspace and Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface and revokes the Class E airspace
designated as an extension to Class D airspace at North Central West
Virginia Airport, Clarksburg, WV, to support IFR operations at this
airport.
History
The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA-2023-2362 in the
Federal Register (88 FR 88550; December 22, 2023) proposing to amend
the Class D and Class E airspace and revoke Class E airspace at
Clarksburg, WV. 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 D and E airspace designations are published in paragraphs
5000, 6004, and 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 D airspace extending upward from the surface up
to and including 3,700 feet MSL to within a 7.1-mile (increased from
4.1-mile) radius of the North Central West Virginia Airport,
Clarksburg, WV, excluding that airspace within a 1-mile radius of Wade
F. Maley Field, Shinnston, WV; and updates the outdated terms ``Notice
to Airmen'' and ``Airport Facility Directory'' to ``Notice to Air
Missions'' and ``Chart Supplement'';
Revokes the Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D
airspace at North Central West Virginia Airport as it is no longer
required;
And modifies the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to within a 9.6-mile (increased from an 8.9-mile)
radius of North Central West Virginia Airport.

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 no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
