The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to 14 CFR part 71 by:
Modifying the Class E surface airspace
to within a 4.5-mile (increased from a 4mile) radius of Zanesville Municipal
Airport, Zanesville, OH; removing the
Zanesville NDB and associated
extensions from the airspace legal
description as they are no longer
needed; removing the Zanesville VOR/
DME and associated extensions from the
airspace legal description; updating the
geographic coordinates of Zanesville
Municipal Airport to coincide with the
FAA’s aeronautical database; and
removing the city associated with
Riverside Airport, Zanesville, OH, from
the header of the airspace legal
description to comply with changes to
FAA Order JO 7400.2P, Procedures for
Handling Airspace Matters;
And modifying the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface to within a 7-mile (reduced
from an 8.5-mile) radius of Zanesville
Municipal Airport; removing the
Zanesville VOR/DME and associated
extension from the airspace legal
description; adding an extension 4 miles
each side of the 034° bearing from the
airport extending from the 7-mile radius
to 11.4 miles northeast of the airport;
adding an extension 4 miles each side
of the 214° bearing from the airport
extending from the 7-mile radius to 11.5
miles southwest of the airport; adding
the Genesis Health Care Heliport,
Zanesville, OH, point in space
coordinates that had been inadvertently
removed from the airspace legal
description in a previous amendment to
the header of the airspace legal
description; updating the name of the
Genesis Health Care Heliport (previous
Bethesda Hospital) to coincide with the
FAA’s aeronautical database; and
removing the exclusionary language as
it is no longer required.
This action is the result of an airspace
review conducted as part of the
decommissioning of the Zanesville VOR
as part of the VOR MON Program and
to support IFR operations at this airport.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this
proposed 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
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
preparation of a regulatory evaluation as
the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will
only affect air traffic procedures and air
navigation, it is certified that this
proposed rule, when promulgated, will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
On September 11, 2001, four
commercial aircraft were hijacked and
flown into the World Trade Center in
New York City, and the Pentagon,
inflicting catastrophic human casualties
and property damage. National security
and intelligence officials warned that
future terrorist attacks were likely.
In response, on May 30, 2002, the
Coast Guard published a final rule titled
‘‘Safety and Security Zones; Pilgrim
Nuclear Power Plant, Plymouth
Massachusetts’’ in the Federal Register
(67 FR 37693). On October 2, 2009 the
regulation was amended by Federal
Register (74 FR 50925) establishing a
permanent safety and security zone on
all waters of Cape Cod Bay and land
adjacent to those waters enclosed by a
line beginning at position 41–56′59.3″
N, 070–34′58.5″ W; thence to 41–
57′12.2″ N, 070–34′41.9″ W; thence to
41–56′42.3″ N, 070–34′00.1″ W; thence
to 41–56′29.5″ N, 070–34′14.5″ W
within Captain of the Port (COTP)
Sector Boston, Massachusetts as part of
a comprehensive, port security regime
designed to safeguard human life,
vessels and waterfront facilities from
sabotage or terrorist acts.
On June 10, 2019, Entergy Nuclear
Operations Inc (site prior owner)
notified the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) that the power
operations have ceased at Pilgrim
Nuclear Station (PNPS) and that the
nuclear fuel was permanently removed
from the PNPS reactor vessel as per 10
CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i). Effectively, Entergy
understood and acknowledged that
upon docketing these certifications
(ML19161A033), the PNPS 10 CFR part
50 license no longer authorized
operation of the reactor or emplacement
or retention of fuel in the reactor vessel.
Subsequently, the facility license and
ownership of Pilgrim Station was
transferred to HDI on August 27, 2019
(ML19235A050).
On December 14, 2021, HDI notified
the NRC (ML21348A748) that all
nuclear fuel was transferred out of the
spent nuclear fuel pool and was placed
in dry cask storage containers within the
newly built Independent Spent Fuel
Storage Installation (ISFSI). These dry
cask storage containers are air cooled
and do not rely on cooling water from
cape cod bay for nuclear fuel cooling.
On January 9, 2024, Entergy Nuclear
Operation, Inc, notified the Coast Guard
that they had provided all the required
documentation for disestablishment to
the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission as per 10 CFR
50.82(a)(1)(i). Power operations have

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 proposes to amend the current version of that order, FAA Order
JO 7400.11H, dated August 11, 2023, and effective September 15, 2023.
These updates would be published subsequently in the next update to FAA
Order JO 7400.11. That order is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document.
FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 by:
Modifying the Class E surface airspace to within a 4.5-mile
(increased from a 4-mile) radius of Zanesville Municipal Airport,
Zanesville, OH; removing the Zanesville NDB and associated extensions
from the airspace legal description as they are no longer needed;
removing the Zanesville VOR/DME and associated extensions from the
airspace legal description; updating the geographic coordinates of
Zanesville Municipal Airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical
database; and removing the city associated with Riverside Airport,
Zanesville, OH, from the header of the airspace legal description to
comply with changes to FAA Order JO 7400.2P, Procedures for Handling
Airspace Matters;
And modifying the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to within a 7-mile (reduced from an 8.5-mile) radius
of Zanesville Municipal Airport; removing the Zanesville VOR/DME and
associated extension from the airspace legal description; adding an
extension 4 miles each side of the 034[deg] bearing from the airport
extending from the 7-mile radius to 11.4 miles northeast of the
airport; adding an extension 4 miles each side of the 214[deg] bearing
from the airport extending from the 7-mile radius to 11.5 miles
southwest of the airport; adding the Genesis Health Care Heliport,
Zanesville, OH, point in space coordinates that had been inadvertently
removed from the airspace legal description in a previous amendment to
the header of the airspace legal description; updating the name of the
Genesis Health Care Heliport (previous Bethesda Hospital) to coincide
with the FAA's aeronautical database; and removing the exclusionary
language as it is no longer required.
This action is the result of an airspace review conducted as part
of the decommissioning of the Zanesville VOR as part of the VOR MON
Program and to support IFR operations at this airport.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this proposed 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
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
