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 the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Youngstown/ Warren Regional Airport, Youngstown/ Warren, OH, to support IFR operations at this airport, and revokes the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Lansdowne Airport, Youngstown, OH. History The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA–2024–2294 in the Federal Register (89 FR 80433; October 3, 2024) proposing to amend the Class D and Class E airspace and revoke Class E airspace at Youngstown/Warren, OH. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Incorporation by Reference Class D and E airspace designations 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 amendment to 14 CFR part 71: Modifies the Class D airspace to within a 4.5-mile (increased from a 4.4mile) radius of Youngstown/Warren Regional Airport, Youngstown/Warren, OH; updates the name (previously Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport) and the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database; And modifies 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; removes 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; updates 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 updates the name (previously Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport) and the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical database. 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 E:\FR\FM\10DER1.SGM 10DER1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 10, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 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 
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 the Class E airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Youngstown/Warren Regional 
Airport, Youngstown/Warren, OH, to support IFR operations at this 
airport, and revokes the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 
feet above the surface at Lansdowne Airport, Youngstown, OH.

History

    The FAA published an NPRM for Docket No. FAA-2024-2294 in the 
Federal Register (89 FR 80433; October 3, 2024) proposing to amend the 
Class D and Class E airspace and revoke Class E airspace at Youngstown/
Warren, OH. 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 E airspace designations 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 amendment to 14 CFR part 71:
    Modifies 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; updates the name (previously Youngstown-Warren Regional 
Airport) and the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with 
the FAA's aeronautical database;
    And modifies 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; removes 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; updates 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 updates the name (previously Youngstown-Warren Regional 
Airport) and the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with 
the FAA's aeronautical database.

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

[[Page 99065]]

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.
