Amendment of Class D and Class E Airspace; Lewisburg, WV, 24367-24369 [2024-07245]
Download as PDF
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 68 / Monday, April 8, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
Incorporation by Reference
Class D and E airspace designations
are published in Paragraphs 5000, 6002,
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 action amends 14 CFR part 71 by
amending Class D airspace and Class E
surface airspace by removing Snow Hill
VORTAC from the descriptions as it is
unnecessary in describing the airspace,
as well as updating the airport’s
geographic coordinates to coincide with
the FAA’s database. In addition, this
action updates the airport name to
Wallops Flight Facility (formerly NASA
Wallops Flight Facility). This action
also replaces the terms Notice to Airmen
with Notice to Air Missions and
Airport/Facility Directory with Chart
Supplement in the airspace
descriptions. In addition, the Class E
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface is updated by
replacing the city name under the
header with Wallops Island (formerly
Chincoteague) and removing the city
name from the next line of the
description, identifying the airport.
Also, the geographic coordinates of this
airspace are updated to coincide with
the FAA’s database. Finally, this action
clarifies the Class D description by
adding the words ‘and including’
referring to the airspace ceiling.
Controlled airspace is necessary for the
safety and management of instrument
flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.

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 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 5–6.5a.
This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant
environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that
warrant the preparation of an
environmental assessment.

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
Class D and Class E airspace in
Lewisburg, WV. An airspace evaluation
determined that this update is necessary
to support IFR operations in the area.

Incorporation by Reference
Class D and Class 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

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
amending Class D airspace and Class E
airspace designated as an extension to a
Class D surface area by:
• Removing the city name from the
airport header.
• Replacing the terms Notice to
Airmen with Notice to Air Missions and
Airport/Facility Directory with Chart
Supplement.
• Removing the BUSHI NDB from the

This rule
amends 14 CFR part 97 by amending the
referenced SIAPs. The complete
regulatory description of each SIAP is
listed on the appropriate FAA Form
8260, as modified by the National Flight
Data Center (NFDC)/Permanent Notice
to Air Missions (P–NOTAM), and is
incorporated by reference under 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14
CFR 97.20. The large number of SIAPs,
their complex nature, and the need for
a special format make their verbatim
publication in the Federal Register
expensive and impractical. Further,
pilots do not use the regulatory text of
the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic
depiction on charts printed by
publishers of aeronautical materials.
Thus, the advantages of incorporation
by reference are realized and
publication of the complete description
of each SIAP contained on FAA form
documents is unnecessary. This
amendment provides the affected CFR
sections, and specifies the SIAPs and
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 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 and Takeoff Minimums
and ODP as amended in the transmittal.
For safety and timeliness of change
considerations, this amendment
incorporates only specific changes
contained for each SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP as modified by
FDC permanent NOTAMs.
The SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums
and ODPs, as modified by FDC

this amendment are based on criteria
contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures

SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and
ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied
only to specific conditions existing at
the affected airports. All SIAP
amendments in this rule have been

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 Class D and Class E airspace in Lewisburg, WV. An airspace
evaluation determined that this update is necessary to support IFR
operations in the area.
History
The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA 2023-2275 in the Federal Register (88 FR 85860; December 11, 2023),
proposing to amend Class D airspace, Class E airspace designated as an
extension to a Class D surface area, and Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface area for Greenbrier Valley
Airport, Lewisburg, 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 Class 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 action amends 14 CFR part 71 by amending Class D airspace and
Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D surface area
by:
Removing the city name from the airport header.
Replacing the terms Notice to Airmen with Notice to Air
Missions and Airport/Facility Directory with Chart Supplement.
Removing the BUSHI NDB from the description, as it is
unnecessary in describing the airspace.
Adding a northeast extension and amending the southwest
extension.
This action amends 14 CFR part 71 to amend Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface area by removing the
BUSHI NDB from the description, as it is unnecessary to describe the
airspace.
Differences From the NPRM
Subsequent to publication, the FAA found an error in the NPRM. The
geographic coordinates of the airport were listed as (Lat
37[deg]51'33'' N, long 80[deg]23'58'' W). The correct coordinates are
(Lat 37[deg]51'30'' N, long 80[deg]23'58'' W). This action corrects
this error.
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 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 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant the preparation of an
environmental assessment.
