instrument flight rules (IFR) operations
in the area.
DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 20,
2025. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by
reference action under 1 CFR part 51,

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 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 establishes
Class D airspace at Auburn University
Regional Airport, Auburn, AL.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA 2024–2062 in the Federal Register
(89 FR 78832; September 26, 2024),
proposing 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. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments
on the proposal to the FAA. Three
favorable comments supporting the
establishment of controlled airspace at
Auburn University Regional Airport
were received.
Incorporation by Reference
Class D and Class E airspace 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 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
establishing Class D airspace for Auburn
University Regional Airport, Auburn,
AL, as a new air traffic control tower
services the airport. Also, an airspace
evaluation resulted in an amendment to
decrease the size of the existing Class E
E:\FR\FM\05DER1.SGM
05DER1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 234 / Thursday, December 5, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface within a 6.9-mile
radius by removing the extension of 1.6
miles on each side of the 237° bearing
from the airport, extending from the 6.9mile radius to 11 miles southwest of the
airport.
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 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
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 5–6.5a. This airspace action
is not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts, and
no extraordinary circumstances exist
that warrant the preparation of an
environmental assessment.

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

in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of

use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority,
as it establishes Class D airspace at Auburn University Regional
Airport, Auburn, AL.
History
The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA 2024-2062 in the Federal Register (89 FR 78832; September 26,
2024), proposing 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. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA. Three favorable comments
supporting the establishment of controlled airspace at Auburn
University Regional Airport were received.
Incorporation by Reference
Class D and Class E airspace 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 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 establishing Class D airspace
for Auburn University Regional Airport, Auburn, AL, as a new air
traffic control tower services the airport. Also, an airspace
evaluation resulted in an amendment to decrease the size of the
existing Class E

airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface within a 6.9-
mile radius by removing the extension of 1.6 miles on 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 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

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

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 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant the preparation of an
environmental assessment.
