The Proposal
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
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 would 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.
16:03 Sep 25, 2024
In consideration of the foregoing, the
Federal Aviation Administration
proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as
follows:
Jkt 262001
This action proposes to
establish Class D airspace and amend
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface for Auburn
University Regional Airport, Auburn,
AL, as a new air traffic control tower
will service the airport. Controlled
airspace is necessary for the safety and
management of instrument flight rules

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 would
establish Class D airspace and amend
Class E airspace for Auburn University
Regional Airport, Auburn, AL.

Incorporation by Reference
Class D and Class E airspace
designations are published in
paragraphs 5000 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 proposes
to amend the current version of that
order, FAA Order JO 7400.11J, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated July 31, 2024, and effective
September 15, 2024. FAA Order JO
7400.11J is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. These amendments will
subsequently be published in the next
update to FAA Order JO 7400.11.
FAA Order JO 7400.11J lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic
service routes, and reporting points.
The Proposal
This action proposes to amend 14
CFR part 71 to establish Class D airspace
for Auburn University Regional Airport,
Auburn, AL, as a new air traffic control
tower will service the airport. Also, an
airspace evaluation results in a proposal
to decrease the size of the existing Class
E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface within a 6.9-mile
by removing the extension of 1.6-miles
each side of the 237° bearing from the
airport, extending from the 6.9-mile
radius to 11 miles southwest of the
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
PO 00000

78833
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.

regulatory action.

of that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11J, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated July 31, 2024, and effective September 15,
2024. FAA Order JO 7400.11J is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. These amendments will subsequently
be published in the next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11.
FAA Order JO 7400.11J lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting points.
The Proposal
This action proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 to establish Class D
airspace for Auburn University Regional Airport, Auburn, AL, as a new
air traffic control tower will service the airport. Also, an airspace
evaluation results in a proposal to decrease the size of the existing
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface
within a 6.9-mile by removing the extension of 1.6-miles each side of
the 237[deg] bearing from the airport, extending from the 6.9-mile
radius to 11 miles southwest of the 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 would 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.
