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 the 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 modify Class D airspace and establish Class E airspace to support IFR and VFR operations at KSBD. Comments Invited The FAA invites interested persons to participate in this rulemaking by submitting written comments, data, or views. Comments are specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic, environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal. The most helpful comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the reason for any E:\FR\FM\11OCP1.SGM 11OCP1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 198 / Friday, October 11, 2024 / Proposed Rules recommended change, and include supporting data.

The FAA will file in the docket all comments it receives, as well as a report summarizing each substantive public contact with FAA personnel concerning this proposed rulemaking. Before acting on this proposal, the FAA will consider all comments it receives on or before the closing date for comments. The FAA will consider comments filed after the comment period has closed if it is possible to do so without incurring expense or delay. The FAA may change this proposal in light of the comments it receives. Privacy: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the public to better inform its rulemaking process.

An informal docket may also be examined during normal business hours at the Northwest Mountain Regional Office of the Federal Aviation Administration, Air Traffic Organization, Western Service Center, Operations Support Group, 2200 S 216th Street, Des Moines, WA 98198. Incorporation by Reference Class D and E4 airspace designations are published in paragraphs 5000 and 6004, respectively, 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:39 Oct 10, 2024 Jkt 265001 15, 2024. These updates would be published 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 that would modify Class D airspace and establish Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D surface area at San Bernardino International Airport, CA. The ceiling of the KSBD Class D airspace should be raised from 3,200 feet to 3,700 feet mean sea level (MSL). This action would give the airport a ceiling height of 2,500 feet above ground level (AGL), which is recommended for Class D airspace that serves turbojet or turboprop aircraft in a high-density area. The eastern boundary of the Class D airspace does not fully contain IFR departure operations between the surface and the base of adjacent airspace when departing Runway (RWY) 6 on the Obstacle Departure Procedure (ODP) or the JADKO ONE DEPARTURE (Area Navigation [RNAV]) procedure due to rising terrain north-through-east of the airport. The northeastern lateral boundary should be extended 2.5 miles eastward in the form of a shelf that extends upward from 2,600 feet MSL to and including 3,700 feet MSL. This proposed shelf would better contain the aforementioned departure procedures until reaching the next adjacent airspace while preserving the 1,000-foot AGL traffic patterns at Redlands Municipal Airport, Redlands, CA (4.4 miles away from KSBD). The western boundary of the Class D airspace does not fully contain the RWY 24 ODP until reaching the base of adjacent airspace, nor does it fully contain IFR arrival operations between the surface and 1,000 feet above the surface when executing the RNAV (Required Navigation Performance [RNP]) X RWY 6 arrival procedure. The lateral boundary of the surface area should be extended a half mile beyond the area’s established 4.5-mile radius to meet containment standards for these two procedures. The northern boundary of the Class D airspace does not fully contain the JADKO ONE DEPARTURE (RNAV) RWY 6 procedure until reaching the next adjacent airspace due to rising terrain north-through-east of KSBD. The northern boundary should be moved .29 miles north to more appropriately contain the procedure’s track width. Additionally, this modification would PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 82539 better align the northern Class D airspace border with the northern border of the proposed Class D shelf, east of the airport. The eastern lateral boundary of the Class D airspace does not fully contain the RNAV (RNP) RWY 24 arrival procedure while between the surface and 1,000 feet above the surface. A Class E extension to the Class D surface area airspace should be established to contain the arrival procedure more appropriately. This proposed area would extend eastward-then-southward in a ‘‘dog-leg’’ shape to avoid overlying Redlands Municipal Airport, with its southeasternmost point located approximately 8 miles southeast of the airport. This proposed airspace would impose a 500-foot clearance-from-clouds requirement on VFR aircraft operating within the airspace area to support flight safety at KSBD without imposing 2-way radio communication. Finally, the FAA proposes a modification to the administrative portion of the airport’s Class D airspace legal description. The description should be updated to replace the outdated use of the phrases ‘‘Notice to Airmen’’ and ‘‘Airport/Facility Directory.’’ These phrases should be amended to read ‘‘Notice to Air Missions’’ and ‘‘Chart Supplement,’’ respectively, to align with the FAA’s current nomenclature. 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.

Incorporation by Reference

    Class D and E4 airspace designations are published in paragraphs 
5000 and 6004, respectively, 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 
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 that would 
modify Class D airspace and establish Class E airspace designated as an 
extension to a Class D surface area at San Bernardino International 
Airport, CA.
    The ceiling of the KSBD Class D airspace should be raised from 
3,200 feet to 3,700 feet mean sea level (MSL). This action would give 
the airport a ceiling height of 2,500 feet above ground level (AGL), 
which is recommended for Class D airspace that serves turbojet or 
turboprop aircraft in a high-density area.
    The eastern boundary of the Class D airspace does not fully contain 
IFR departure operations between the surface and the base of adjacent 
airspace when departing Runway (RWY) 6 on the Obstacle Departure 
Procedure (ODP) or the JADKO ONE DEPARTURE (Area Navigation [RNAV]) 
procedure due to rising terrain north-through-east of the airport. The 
northeastern lateral boundary should be extended 2.5 miles eastward in 
the form of a shelf that extends upward from 2,600 feet MSL to and 
including 3,700 feet MSL. This proposed shelf would better contain the 
aforementioned departure procedures until reaching the next adjacent 
airspace while preserving the 1,000-foot AGL traffic patterns at 
Redlands Municipal Airport, Redlands, CA (4.4 miles away from KSBD).
    The western boundary of the Class D airspace does not fully contain 
the RWY 24 ODP until reaching the base of adjacent airspace, nor does 
it fully contain IFR arrival operations between the surface and 1,000 
feet above the surface when executing the RNAV (Required Navigation 
Performance [RNP]) X RWY 6 arrival procedure. The lateral boundary of 
the surface area should be extended a half mile beyond the area's 
established 4.5-mile radius to meet containment standards for these two 
procedures.
    The northern boundary of the Class D airspace does not fully 
contain the JADKO ONE DEPARTURE (RNAV) RWY 6 procedure until reaching 
the next adjacent airspace due to rising terrain north-through-east of 
KSBD. The northern boundary should be moved .29 miles north to more 
appropriately contain the procedure's track width. Additionally, this 
modification would better align the northern Class D airspace border 
with the northern border of the proposed Class D shelf, east of the 
airport.
    The eastern lateral boundary of the Class D airspace does not fully 
contain the RNAV (RNP) RWY 24 arrival procedure while between the 
surface and 1,000 feet above the surface. A Class E extension to the 
Class D surface area airspace should be established to contain the 
arrival procedure more appropriately. This proposed area would extend 
eastward-then-southward in a ``dog-leg'' shape to avoid overlying 
Redlands Municipal Airport, with its southeasternmost point located 
approximately 8 miles southeast of the airport. This proposed airspace 
would impose a 500-foot clearance-from-clouds requirement on VFR 
aircraft operating within the airspace area to support flight safety at 
KSBD without imposing 2-way radio communication.
    Finally, the FAA proposes a modification to the administrative 
portion of the airport's Class D airspace legal description. The 
description should be updated to replace the outdated use of the 
phrases ``Notice to Airmen'' and ``Airport/Facility Directory.'' These 
phrases should be amended to read ``Notice to Air Missions'' and 
``Chart Supplement,'' respectively, to align with the FAA's current 
nomenclature.

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.
