Airport, Gainesville, FL. Also, we are
proposing to replace the terms Notice to
Airmen with Notice to Air Missions and
Airport/Facility Directory with Chart
Supplement in the Class D and Class E
descriptions. 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 D and Class E airspace are
published in paragraphs 5000, 6002,
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
amending Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface
for Gainesville Regional Airport,
Gainesville, FL, by increasing the
airspace within a 7-mile radius
(previously 6 miles) of Shands Cair
Heliport, FL, serving multiple heliports.
Additionally, this action also deletes the
Point In Space Coordinates for Shands
Hospital and uses Shands Cair Heliport
as a reference to accommodate both
hospitals’ Class E airspace requirements.
Also, this action replaces the terms
Notice to Airmen with Notice to Air
Missions and Airport/Facility Directory
with Chart Supplement in the Class D
and Class E descriptions. Controlled
airspace is necessary for the safety and
management of instrument flight rules
(IFR) operations in the area.
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:50 Dec 04, 2024
Jkt 265001
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.

History
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71:
Modifies the Class D airspace to
within a 4.3-mile (decreased from a 5mile) radius of the Flagstaff Pullman
Airport, Flagstaff, AZ; removes the

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 amends the Class D airspace and Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface and establishes a Class E airspace area
designated as an extension to the Class D airspace at Flagstaff Pullman
Airport, Flagstaff, AZ, to support IFR operations at this airport.
History
The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA-2024-2221 in the
Federal Register (89 FR 77055; September 20, 2024) proposing to amend
the Class D and Class E airspace and establish Class E airspace at
Flagstaff Pullman Airport, Flagstaff, AZ. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA. One comment was received
supporting this action. No response is provided.
Incorporation by Reference
Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraphs
5000, 6004, 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 amendment to 14 CFR part 71:
Modifies the Class D airspace to within a 4.3-mile (decreased from
a 5-mile) radius of the Flagstaff Pullman Airport, Flagstaff, AZ;
removes the extension southeast of the airport as it is no longer
required; and replaces the outdated terms ``Notice to Airmen'' and
``Airport/Facility Directory'' with ``Notice to Air Missions'' and
``Chart Supplement'';
Establishes a Class E airspace area designated as an extension to
the Class D airspace extending from the 4.3-mile radius of Flagstaff
Pullman Airport beginning at the point lat 35[deg]12'33'' N, long
111[deg]38'42'' W, to lat 35[deg]16'44'' N, long 111[deg]34'17'' W,
then following the 9.6-mile radius from the airport clockwise to lat
35[deg]02'27'' N, long 111[deg]49'20'' W, to lat 35[deg]06'38'' N, long
111[deg]44'56'' W, then counterclockwise following the 4.3-mile radius
to the point of origination;
And modifies the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to within a 16.8-mile radius (previously defined by

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.
