Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 95 / Wednesday, May 15, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures, paragraph 5–6.5a, which
categorically excludes from further
environmental impact review
rulemaking actions that designate or
modify classes of airspace areas,
airways, routes, and reporting points
(see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of
Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas;
Air Traffic Service Routes; and
Reporting Points). As such, this action
is not expected to result in any
potentially significant environmental
impacts. In accordance with FAA Order
1050.1F, paragraph 5–2 regarding
Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA
has reviewed this action for factors and
circumstances in which a normally
categorically excluded action may have
a significant environmental impact
requiring further analysis. Accordingly,
the FAA has determined that no
extraordinary circumstances exist that
warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment or
environmental impact study.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 95 / Wednesday, May 15, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
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, Class E surface
airspace, and Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Jack Brooks Regional Airport,
Beaumont/Port Arthur, TX, and the
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Beaumont
Municipal Airport, Beaumont, TX, and
Orange County Airport, Orange, TX,
(Contained within the Beaumont/Port
Arthur, TX, airspace legal description.)
to support instrument flight rule
operations at these airports.

History
The FAA published an NPRM for
Docket No. FAA–2024–0269 in the
Federal Register (89 FR 14000; February
26, 2024) proposing to amend the Class
D and Class E airspace at Beaumont/Port
Arthur, TX. 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, 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 amendment to 14 CFR part 71:
Modifies the Class D airspace at Jack
Brooks Regional Airport, Beaumont/Port
Arthur, TX, by updating the name of the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:57 May 14, 2024
Jkt 262001
airport (previously Jefferson County
Airport) to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database; updates the
header of the airspace legal description
to Beaumont/Port Arthur, TX
(previously Beaumont, TX) to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database;
removes the city associated with the
airport in the airspace legal description
to comply with changes to FAA Order
JO 7400.2P, Procedures for Handling
Airspace Matters; and replaces the
outdated terms ‘‘Notice to Airmen’’ and
‘‘Airport/Facility Directory’’ with
‘‘Notice to Air Missions’’ and ‘‘Chart
Supplement’’;
Modifies the Class E surface airspace
at Jack Brooks Regional Airport by
updating the name of the airport
(previously Jefferson County Airport) to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database; updates the header of the
airspace legal description to Beaumont/
Port Arthur, TX (previously Beaumont,
TX) to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database; removes the city
associated with the airport in the
airspace legal description to comply
with changes to FAA Order JO 7400.2P;
and replaces the outdated terms ‘‘Notice
to Airmen’’ and ‘‘Airport/Facility
Directory’’ with ‘‘Notice to Air
Missions’’ and ‘‘Chart Supplement’’;
And modifies the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 7.5-mile
(decreased from a 7.7-mile) radius of
Jack Brooks Regional Airport; removes
the extension northwest of Beaumont
Municipal Airport, Beaumont, TX, from
the airspace legal description as it is no
longer needed; within a 6.5-mile
(decreased from a 6.6-mile) radius of
Orange County Airport, Orange, TX;
updates the name of Jack Brooks
Regional Airport (previously Southeast
Texas Regional Airport) to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database;
updates the geographic coordinates of
Beaumont Municipal Airport and
Orange County Airport to coincide with
the FAA’s aeronautical database;
updates the header of the airspace legal
description to Beaumont/Port Arthur,
TX (previously Beaumont, TX) to
coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical
database; and removes the cities
associated with the airports in the
airspace legal description to comply
with changes to FAA Order JO 7400.2P.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
42353
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.

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, Class E surface airspace, and Class
E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Jack
Brooks Regional Airport, Beaumont/Port Arthur, TX, and the Class E
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Beaumont
Municipal Airport, Beaumont, TX, and Orange County Airport, Orange, TX,
(Contained within the Beaumont/Port Arthur, TX, airspace legal
description.) to support instrument flight rule operations at these
airports.
History
The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA-2024-0269 in the
Federal Register (89 FR 14000; February 26, 2024) proposing to amend
the Class D and Class E airspace at Beaumont/Port Arthur, TX.
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, 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 amendment to 14 CFR part 71:
Modifies the Class D airspace at Jack Brooks Regional Airport,
Beaumont/Port Arthur, TX, by updating the name of the airport
(previously Jefferson County Airport) to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database; updates the header of the airspace legal
description to Beaumont/Port Arthur, TX (previously Beaumont, TX) to
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database; removes the city
associated with the airport in the airspace legal description to comply
with changes to FAA Order JO 7400.2P, Procedures for Handling Airspace
Matters; and replaces the outdated terms ``Notice to Airmen'' and
``Airport/Facility Directory'' with ``Notice to Air Missions'' and
``Chart Supplement'';
Modifies the Class E surface airspace at Jack Brooks Regional
Airport by updating the name of the airport (previously Jefferson
County Airport) to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
updates the header of the airspace legal description to Beaumont/Port
Arthur, TX (previously Beaumont, TX) to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database; removes the city associated with the airport in
the airspace legal description to comply with changes to FAA Order JO
7400.2P; and replaces the outdated terms ``Notice to Airmen'' and
``Airport/Facility Directory'' with ``Notice to Air Missions'' and
``Chart Supplement'';
And modifies the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to within a 7.5-mile (decreased from a 7.7-mile)
radius of Jack Brooks Regional Airport; removes the extension northwest
of Beaumont Municipal Airport, Beaumont, TX, from the airspace legal
description as it is no longer needed; within a 6.5-mile (decreased
from a 6.6-mile) radius of Orange County Airport, Orange, TX; updates
the name of Jack Brooks Regional Airport (previously Southeast Texas
Regional Airport) to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
updates the geographic coordinates of Beaumont Municipal Airport and
Orange County Airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
updates the header of the airspace legal description to Beaumont/Port
Arthur, TX (previously Beaumont, TX) to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database; and removes the cities associated with the
airports in the airspace legal description to comply with changes to
FAA Order JO 7400.2P.
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.
