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, dated
July 31, 2024, and effective September
15, 2024. 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 Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to 14 CFR part 71 by:
Modifying the Class E surface area at
Ottumwa Regional Airport, Ottumwa,
IA, by removing the Ottumwa VOR/
DME and associated extension from the
airspace legal description; and updating
the name (previously Ottumwa
Industrial Airport) and geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database;
And modifying the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Ottumwa Regional Airport
by removing the Ottumwa VOR/DME
and the associated extensions from the
airspace legal description; and updating
the name (previously Ottumwa
Industrial Airport) and geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database.
This action is the result of an airspace
review conducted due to the
decommissioning of the Ottumwa VOR
as part of the VOR MON Program and
supports 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:16 Oct 02, 2024
Jkt 265001
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.

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
amend the Class D airspace and the
Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at
Youngstown/Warrant Regional Airport,
Youngstown/Warren, OH, to support
IFR operations at this airport, and
revoke the Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Lansdowne Airport, Youngstown,
OH.

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, dated
July 31, 2024, and effective September
15, 2024. 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 7400.11J 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 D airspace to
within a 4.5-mile (increased from a 4.4mile) radius of Youngstown/Warren
Regional Airport, Youngstown/Warren,
OH; updating the name (previously
Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport)
and the geographic coordinates of the
airport to coincide with the FAA’s
aeronautical database;
And modifying the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Youngstown/Warren
Regional Airport by removing the
Youngstown VORTAC and associated
extension from the airspace legal
description; removing the Lansdowne
Airport, Youngstown, OH, and the
associated airspace from the airspace
legal description as the instrument
procedures have been cancelled and the
airspace is no longer required; updating
the header of the airspace legal
description from ‘‘Youngstown-Warren
Regional Airport, OH’’ to ‘‘Youngstown/
Warren, OH’’ to coincide with the
FAA’s aeronautical database and
comply with changes to FAA Order JO
7400.2P, Procedures for Handling
Airspace Matters; and updating the
name (previously Youngstown-Warren
Regional Airport) and the geographic
coordinates of the airport to coincide
with the FAA’s aeronautical database.
This action is the result of an airspace
review conducted as part of the
decommissioning of the Youngstown
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

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August
9, 2024, the Department published in
the Federal Register a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that
proposes to require airlines to seat
children aged 13 and under adjacent to
at least one accompanying adult at no
additional cost beyond the fare, subject
to limited exceptions. Under the NPRM,
the specific requirements that airlines
would be required to follow to ensure a
young child is seated adjacent to an
accompanying adult at no additional
cost differ depending on the carrier’s
seating method. There are different
requirements for an open seating carrier
and an assigned seating carrier.
However, in both cases, airline that fail
to provide family seating as proposed
would be required to mitigate the harm
to passengers by offering them a choice
of rebooking at no additional cost on the
next available flight with family seating,
transport of the young child or young
children and an accompanying adult on
the flight without adjacent seats, or a
prompt refund of the fare paid for the
child and other persons on the same
reservation. In addition, the proposal
explains that the Department considers
family seating to be a basic service that
must be included in the advertised fare
and seeks comment on what services
beyond adjacent family seating should
be considered a basic service. The
NPRM provided for a comment period
of 60 days after publication of the
NPRM in the Federal Register, i.e.,
October 8, 2024.

Incorporation by Reference
Class D and E airspace is 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, dated July 31, 2024, and effective September 15, 2024.
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 7400.11J 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 D airspace to within a 4.5-mile (increased from
a 4.4-mile) radius of Youngstown/Warren Regional Airport, Youngstown/
Warren, OH; updating the name (previously Youngstown-Warren Regional
Airport) and the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with
the FAA's aeronautical database;
And modifying the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Youngstown/Warren Regional Airport by removing the
Youngstown VORTAC and associated extension from the airspace legal
description; removing the Lansdowne Airport, Youngstown, OH, and the
associated airspace from the airspace legal description as the
instrument procedures have been cancelled and the airspace is no longer
required; updating the header of the airspace legal description from
``Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport, OH'' to ``Youngstown/Warren, OH''
to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database and comply with
changes to FAA Order JO 7400.2P, Procedures for Handling Airspace
Matters; and updating the name (previously Youngstown-Warren Regional
Airport) and the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with
the FAA's aeronautical database.
This action is the result of an airspace review conducted as part
of the decommissioning of the Youngstown 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
[[Page 80435]]
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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
