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 establishes Class E airspace to support the safety and 
management of IFR operations at Green River Municipal Airport, Green 
River, UT.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 
FAA-2023-2175 in the Federal Register (88 FR 85523; December 8, 2023), 
proposing to establish Class E airspace at Green River Municipal 
Airport, Green River, UT. Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.

Differences From the NPRM

    The final rule adds language excluding R-6413 special use airspace 
from the airport's legal description when active. That airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 5.5-mile 
radius of the airport, from the 145[deg] bearing clockwise to the 
278[deg] bearing within 6.8 miles southwest of the airport, and from 
the 278[deg] bearing clockwise to the 337 [deg] bearing within 8.5 
miles northwest of the airport excluding R-6413 when active. This 
exclusionary language was inadvertently omitted from the proposed rule.

Incorporation by Reference

    Class E5 airspace area is 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

[[Page 19510]]

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 establishing Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Green River 
Municipal Airport.
    The Class E airspace area provides a controlled airspace 
environment for IFR arrival operations below 1,500 feet above the 
surface for the Area Navigation (RNAV) (Global Positioning System 
[GPS]) Runway (RWY) 13 and RNAV (GPS) RWY 31 approaches. Additionally, 
the airspace contains IFR departure operations until reaching 1,200 
feet above the surface on the GREEN RIVER ONE DEPARTURE (OBSTACLE) 
procedure.
    Additionally, the southeast portion of the airspace will revert to 
special use airspace (SUA) when active--that SUA overlaps the Green 
River Airport's Class E airspace and is designated as restricted area 
R-6413.

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