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 modifies Class E airspace to support IFR operations at Chenega Bay Airport, Chenega, AK. History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. FAA–2024–0183 in the Federal Register (89 FR 67915; August 22, 2024) proposing to modify Class E airspace at Chenega Bay Airport, Chenega, AK. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Incorporation by Reference Class E5 airspace areas are published in paragraph 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 amends the current version of that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11J, 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 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 Rule This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by modifying the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Chenega Bay Airport, Chenega, AK. The Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface of the earth at the airport within a 2mile radius is modified to only contain the arrival procedure to the final E:\FR\FM\02DER1.SGM 02DER1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 231 / Monday, December 2, 2024 / Rules and Regulations approach fix (FAF), and to contain the departure procedure starting at JODRO—given that arrivals are visual flight rules (VFR) after the FAF, and departures are VFR until reaching JODRO. In addition, the Chenega, AK, Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface of the earth is extended to the north of the airport to contain arriving IFR operations below 1,500 feet above the surface until reaching the FAF. Finally, the FAA is modifying the airport’s associated legal description to update the city name within the text header from ‘‘Chenega Bay, AK’’ to ‘‘Chenega, AK.’’ 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.

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 modifies Class E airspace to support IFR operations at 
Chenega Bay Airport, Chenega, AK.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 
FAA-2024-0183 in the Federal Register (89 FR 67915; August 22, 2024) 
proposing to modify Class E airspace at Chenega Bay Airport, Chenega, 
AK. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No 
comments were received.

Incorporation by Reference

    Class E5 airspace areas are published in paragraph 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 amends the current version of that order, FAA Order JO 
7400.11J, 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 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 Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by modifying the Class E airspace 
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Chenega Bay 
Airport, Chenega, AK.
    The Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the 
surface of the earth at the airport within a 2-mile radius is modified 
to only contain the arrival procedure to the final

[[Page 95101]]

approach fix (FAF), and to contain the departure procedure starting at 
JODRO--given that arrivals are visual flight rules (VFR) after the FAF, 
and departures are VFR until reaching JODRO.
    In addition, the Chenega, AK, Class E airspace extending upward 
from 700 feet above the surface of the earth is extended to the north 
of the airport to contain arriving IFR operations below 1,500 feet 
above the surface until reaching the FAF.
    Finally, the FAA is modifying the airport's associated legal 
description to update the city name within the text header from 
``Chenega Bay, AK'' to ``Chenega, AK.''

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.
