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 at the Dallas Executive Airport, 
formerly known as Dallas Redbird Airport, Dallas, TX, (contained within 
the airspace legal description) to support IFR operations at this 
airport.

History

    The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA-2023-2362 in the 
Federal Register (89 FR 14601; February 28, 2024) proposing to amend 
the Class D airspace at Dallas, TX. Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
the proposal to the FAA. One comment was received, however it did not 
pertain to the action, so no response is provided.

Incorporation by Reference

    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraphs 5000 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.

Differences From the NPRM

    Subsequent to publication of the NPRM, the FAA discovered a 
typographical error in the Class D airport name in the header, 
``Redbird Executive Airport, TX ``should have been ``Dallas Executive 
Airport, TX'', and the part-time language was inadvertently omitted.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71:
    Modifies the Class D airspace at Dallas Executive Airport, Dallas, 
TX, by modifying the Class D airspace extending upward from the surface 
up to but not including 3,000 feet MSL within a 4.5-mile (increased 
from 4.2-

[[Page 61013]]

mile) radius of the Dallas Executive Airport, Dallas, TX, (previously 
Dallas Redbird Airport); and the Redbird RBN and associated extensions 
were removed from the airspace description.as they are no longer 
needed; and 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; also, the geographic 
coordinates are updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical 
database; replacing the part-time language inadvertently omitted in the 
NPRM; and the outdated terms ``Notice to Airmen'' and Airport/Facility 
Directory'' with ``Notice to Air Missions'' and ``Chart Supplement''.
    This action is the result of a biennial airspace review brings the 
airspace into compliance with current FAA orders, and 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.

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.
