Modification of Class D Airspace; Revocation of Class E Airspace; Centennial Airport, Denver, CO, 104406-104408 [2024-30530]

Download as PDF 104406 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 246 / Monday, December 23, 2024 / Rules and Regulations khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with RULES designated as an extension to the Class D or Class E surface area at Buckley Space Force Base, CO. The lateral boundaries of the airport’s Class D and Class E surface areas are insufficiently sized and expanded to the southeast to better contain IFR arrivals when less than 1,000 feet above the surface and departing IFR aircraft until reaching the next adjacent airspace. Additionally, an approximately 0.30 nautical mile gap between Class E and Class G airspaces is closed by merging the Buckley Space Force Base and Centennial Airport surface areas. As such, the Buckley Space Force Base Class D and Class E surface areas are modified to be within a 4.4-mile radius of the airport, within 2 miles northeast and 4 miles southwest of the airport’s 151° bearing extending to 7.1 miles southeast, and within 4 miles south and 4.4 miles north of the airport’s 270° bearing extending to 4.7 miles west, excluding that airspace within the Denver International Airport Class B and Centennial Airport Class D airspace areas. Buckley Space Force Base’s Class E airspace designated as an extension to the Class D or Class E surface area is revoked. The Class E extension is no longer required due to the expansion of the airport’s surface area airspace. Finally, the administrative portions of the airport’s legal descriptions are modified to match the FAA’s database. The airport’s name on line two of both legal descriptions is changed to read ‘‘Buckley Space Force Base, CO.’’ Additionally, line four of both surface area legal descriptions now include ‘‘Denver International Airport, CO’’ and ‘‘Centennial Airport, CO’’ as references, as they are used to define the airport’s surface areas. 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 D airspace and revokes Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area in support of IFR and VFR operations at Centennial Airport, Denver, CO. History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. FAA–2023–1477 in the Federal Register (89 FR 73020; September 09, 2024), proposing to modify Class D airspace VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:08 Dec 20, 2024 Jkt 265001 and revoke Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D or Class E surface area at Centennial Airport, Denver, CO. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. Four comments were received in favor of the proposal. Incorporation by Reference Class D and Class E4 are published in paragraph 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 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 D airspace and revoking the Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area at Centennial Airport, Denver, CO, in support of IFR and VFR operations at the airport. The airport’s Class D airspace lateral boundary has been modified to extend 3.9 nautical miles (NM) northwest and 4.6 NM southeast from the airport’s 038° bearing extending 4.6 NM northeast. This expansion—along with the modification to Buckley Space Force Base Airport’s (BKF) Class D airspace— has merged both airport’s surface areas, which will require transiting VFR aircraft to utilize 500 feet of Class E airspace area between the top of BKF Class D airspace and the floor of the Denver Class B airspace. Additionally, APA’s Class D airspace is expanded from a 4.4-mile radius to a 6.4-mile radius between the airport’s 083° bearing clockwise to the 201° bearing. Due to rising terrain, this modification will better contain instrument departures until reaching 700 feet above the surface of the earth. APA’s Class D airspace has also been extended from a 4.4-mile radius to a 4.9-mile radius between the airport’s 201° bearing clockwise to the 347° bearing to better contain aircraft conducting a circling maneuver at the airport. The Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area is revoked. This airspace is PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 104407 unnecessary given the airport’s newly defined Class D airspace lateral dimensions provide suitable containment of applicable instrument flight procedures. Lastly, this action amends the administrative text to the airport’s legal description. The city’s name is amended from Englewood to Denver. The airport’s geographic coordinates are amended to 39°34′12″ N, long 104°50′57″ W. The part-time language has been removed as the facility operates 24 hours daily. 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.

The Australia Group (AG) is a multilateral forum consisting of 42 participating countries and the European Union. These participants maintain export controls on a list of chemicals, biological agents, and related equipment and technology that could be used in a chemical or biological weapons program. The AG periodically reviews items on its control list to enhance the effectiveness of participating governments’ national controls and to achieve greater harmonization among these controls. Regulatory Changes Implementation of Certain Australia Group Decisions SUMMARY: neosaxitoxin; and revising the controls for botulinum toxins, toxic gas monitors, and centrifugal separators. This rule also makes minor conforming changes for the new controls and revisions to existing controls. DATES: This rule is effective December 23, 2024.

For all other questions pertaining to this rule, contact Logan Norton, Regulatory Policy Division, Office of Exporter Services, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, (202) 482–1762, Email: RPD2@bis.doc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As stated above, this rule implements changes agreed upon at the 2023 and 2024 Intersessional and Plenary Meetings of the AG. The changes made at each meeting are described below in chronological order. 2023 Intersessional The AG meeting of the 2023 Intersessional determined that not all AG members assess gas detection systems with the same criteria. Prior to this rule, the control text only referred to the ability to detect chemical warfare agents or AG controlled precursors at a concentration of less than 0.3 mg/m3. PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 This made it unclear if a gas detection system with a noise level near 0.3 mg/ m3 was controlled, without taking into account the instrument detection limit. As a result, the AG agreed to a uniform way of applying the control language on toxic gas monitors and monitoring systems. To clarify the text, the AG agreed to the new term called ‘minimum detection limit’ and a corresponding definition, both detailed below, to the control text. The AG agreed to two changes to ECCN 2B351. First, in item paragraph .a, ‘‘at concentrations of less than’’ is replaced with ‘‘‘minimum detection limit’ of’’, which is still followed by the 0.3 mg/m3 concentration measurement. Second, it adds a technical note defining ‘minimum detection limit’ as the lowest detectable concentration of the analyte required to produce a signal greater than three times the standard deviation of the toxic gas monitor’s or monitoring system’s signal when measuring a blank sample; alternatively, in the case of toxic gas monitors or monitoring systems having a deadband or programmed zero suppression, the ‘minimum detection limit’ is the lowest detectable concentration required to produce a reading. 2023 Plenary In the 2023 Plenary Meeting, the AG reached consensus on three primary revisions, mostly impacting ECCNs 1C350.d and 1C351.d. ECCN 1C350.d had multiple changes. In February 2020 the AG added a number of precursors to the chemical weapons precursors control list. However, dipropylamine, which is also useful for the synthesis of the corresponding AG-controlled precursors, was not yet controlled. The AG determined that it was important to address this issue by controlling dipropylamine. Under ECCN 1C350, (C.A.S. #142–84–7) Dipropylamine was added as .d.11. The items that had been listed in item paragraphs .d.11 through .d.49 remain, with their item paragraphs shifting up by a factor of one. Botulinum toxins can be neurotoxins or non-neurotoxins. Previously, the AG had not specifically stated if only botulinum neurotoxins should be captured by ECCN 1C351.d.3 or if all botulinum toxins are included. The AG agreed to update the language to ‘‘botulinum neurotoxins’’ noting the greater risk of their use in chemical and biological weapons activities relative to other botulinum toxins. Under ECCN 1C351, item paragraph .d.3 was revised to read as ‘‘botulinum neurotoxins’’ as opposed to previously reading ‘‘botulinum toxins.’’ Conforming E:\FR\FM\23DER1.SGM 23DER1

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 D airspace and revokes Class E airspace 
designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area in 
support of IFR and VFR operations at Centennial Airport, Denver, CO.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 
FAA-2023-1477 in the Federal Register (89 FR 73020; September 09, 
2024), proposing to modify Class D airspace and revoke Class E airspace 
designated as an extension to Class D or Class E surface area at 
Centennial Airport, Denver, CO. Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
the proposal to the FAA. Four comments were received in favor of the 
proposal.

Incorporation by Reference

    Class D and Class E4 are published in paragraph 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 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 D airspace 
and revoking the Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class 
D or Class E surface area at Centennial Airport, Denver, CO, in support 
of IFR and VFR operations at the airport.
    The airport's Class D airspace lateral boundary has been modified 
to extend 3.9 nautical miles (NM) northwest and 4.6 NM southeast from 
the airport's 038[deg] bearing extending 4.6 NM northeast. This 
expansion--along with the modification to Buckley Space Force Base 
Airport's (BKF) Class D airspace--has merged both airport's surface 
areas, which will require transiting VFR aircraft to utilize 500 feet 
of Class E airspace area between the top of BKF Class D airspace and 
the floor of the Denver Class B airspace. Additionally, APA's Class D 
airspace is expanded from a 4.4-mile radius to a 6.4-mile radius 
between the airport's 083[deg] bearing clockwise to the 201[deg] 
bearing. Due to rising terrain, this modification will better contain 
instrument departures until reaching 700 feet above the surface of the 
earth. APA's Class D airspace has also been extended from a 4.4-mile 
radius to a 4.9-mile radius between the airport's 201[deg] bearing 
clockwise to the 347[deg] bearing to better contain aircraft conducting 
a circling maneuver at the airport.
    The Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D or 
Class E surface area is revoked. This airspace is unnecessary given the 
airport's newly defined Class D airspace lateral dimensions provide 
suitable containment of applicable instrument flight procedures.
    Lastly, this action amends the administrative text to the airport's 
legal description. The city's name is amended from Englewood to Denver. 
The airport's geographic coordinates are amended to 39[deg]34'12'' N, 
long 104[deg]50'57'' W. The part-time language has been removed as the 
facility operates 24 hours daily.

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.
