Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Quincy, IL 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class 

E airspace at Quincy, IL. This action is 

the result of an airspace review caused 

by the decommissioning of the Quincy 

very high frequency omnidirectional 

range (VOR) as part of the VOR 

Minimum Operating Network (MON) 

Program. The name and geographic 

coordinates of the airport and name of 

the navigational aid are also being 

updated to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, November 

30, 2023. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

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 E surface airspace and the Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Quincy 

Regional Airport-Baldwin Field, Quincy 

IL, to support instrument flight rule 

(IFR) operations at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published an NPRM for 

Docket No. FAA–2023–1389 in the 

Federal Register (88 FR 41337; June 26, 

2023) proposing to amend the Class E 

airspace at Quincy IL. 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 E airspace designations are 

published in paragraphs 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 7400.11G, 

dated August 19, 2022, and effective 

September 15, 2022. FAA Order JO 

7400.11G 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 7400.11G 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 E surface airspace 

to within a 4.3-mile (increased from a 

4.2-mile) radius of Quincy Regional 

Airport-Baldwin Field, Quincy, IL; 

removes the Quincy VORTAC and 

associated extension from the airspace 

legal description; updates the name 

(previously Quincy Municipal Baldwin 

Field) and geographic coordinates of the 

airport to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database; and replaces the 

outdated terms ‘‘Notice to Airmen’’ with 

‘‘Notice to Air Missions’’ and ‘‘Airport/ 

Facility Directory’’ with ‘‘Chart 

Supplement’’; 

And modifies the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface to within a 6.8-mile 

(decreased from a 7.1-mile) radius of 

Quincy Regional Airport-Baldwin Field; 

amends the extension to the southwest 

to within 4 miles each side (previously 

4.4 miles northwest and 7 miles 

southeast) of the 220° bearing from the 

Quincy RGNL-Baldwin FLD: RWY 04— 

Marker Beacon (previously Quincy ILS 

localizer southwest course) extending 

from the 6.8-mile (previously 7-mile) 

radius of the Quincy Regional AirportBaldwin Field to 9.8 miles (previously 

10.4 miles) southwest of the Quincy

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.

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Temporary final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

establishing a temporary safety zone for 

navigable waters of the Savannah River 

during the Air National Guard F–22A 

Raptor aircraft demonstration event. The 

safety zone is necessary to ensure the 

safety of persons, vessels, and the 

marine environment during the event. 

Entry of vessels or persons into this 

zone is prohibited unless specifically 

authorized by the Captain of the Port 

Savannah or a designated 

representative.

a.m. through 1 p.m. on September 13, 

2023.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background Information and 

Regulatory History 

The Coast Guard is issuing this 

temporary final rule without prior 

notice and opportunity to comment 

pursuant to authority under section 4(a) 

of the Administrative Procedure Act 

(APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision 

authorizes an agency to issue a rule 

without prior notice and opportunity to 

comment when the agency for good 

cause finds that those procedures are 

‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for not publishing a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

with respect to this rule because doing 

so would be impracticable and contrary 

to the public interest. The Coast Guard 

did not receive final details of the event 

until August 22, 2023, and the event is 

scheduled to take place on September 

13, 2023. The event would begin before 

the rulemaking process would be 

completed. Because of the dangers 

posed by the aerial demonstration of the 

Air National Guard’s F–22A Raptor 

aircraft, a safety zone is necessary 

without delay to ensure the safety of 

persons, vessels, and the marine
