1790 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 8 / Thursday, January 11, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

document. These amendments will be 

published in the next update to FAA 

Order JO 7400.11. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11H 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 airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to within an 8-mile (decreased from a 

12.5-mile) radius of Bedford County 

Airport, Bedford, PA; and within 2 

miles each side of the 128° bearing from 

the airport extending from the 8-mile 

radius to 13 miles southeast of the 

airport; and within 2 miles each side of 

the 308° bearing from the airport 

extending from the 8-mile radius to 14. 

8 miles northwest 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 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.

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 would 

increase the efficiency and safety of the 

flow of air traffic within the National 

Airspace System (NAS). 

History 

The FAA published a NPRM for 

Docket No. FAA–2023–1548 in the 

Federal Register (88 FR 46121; July 19, 

2023), proposing to amend RNAV route 

T–302 in the vicinity of Acequia, ID. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting comments on the proposal. 

No comments were received.

Differences From the NPRM 

The NPRM published for Docket No. 

FAA–2023–1548 in the Federal Register 

(88 FR 46121; July 19, 2023) contained 

a typographical error in the table listing 

the route points that describe the 

airway. The table stated that the UKAYI 

waypoint (WP) was in Idaho (ID). The 

UKAYI WP is in Oregon (OR). This rule 

corrects this error. 

Incorporation by Reference 

United States Area Navigation routes 

are published in paragraph 6011 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 7400.11H, 

dated August 11, 2023, and effective 

September 15, 2023. FAA Order JO 

7400.11H 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 7400.11H 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 RNAV route T–302 in the 

vicinity of Acequia, ID, to increase the 

RNAV route’s lateral separation from R– 

3203 and from parachute activities at 

Nampa Municipal Airport and Caldwell 

Executive Airport in Idaho. The 

amendment is described below. 

T–302: This rule adds the ALKAL, ID, 

Fix to the airway description. 

Additionally, the CANEK, ID, Fix is 

added between the ADEXE, ID, WP and 

the ALKAL, ID, Fix. Lastly, this rule 

removes the PARMO, ID, Fix from the 

airway. As amended T–302 extends 

between the CUKIS, OR, WP and the 

GRIFT, IL, WP. 

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 

airspace action of amending RNAV 

route T–302 in the vicinity of Acequia, 

ID, qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and 

its implementing regulations at 40 CFR 

part 1500, and in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5– 

6.5a, which categorically excludes from 

further environmental impact review 

rulemaking actions that designate or 

modify classes of airspace areas, 

airways, routes, and reporting points 

(see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of 

Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; 

Air Traffic Service Routes; and 

Reporting Points), and paragraph 5–6.5i, 

which categorically excludes from 

further environmental review the 

establishment of new or revised air 

traffic control procedures conducted at 

3,000 feet or more above ground level 

(AGL); procedures conducted below 

3,000 feet AGL that do not cause traffic 

to be routinely routed over noise 

sensitive areas; modifications to 

currently approved procedures 

conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do 

not significantly increase noise over 

noise sensitive areas; and increases in 

minimum altitudes and landing 

minima. As such, this action is not 

expected to result in any potentially 

significant environmental impacts. In 

accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

paragraph 5–2 regarding Extraordinary 

Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed 

this action for factors and circumstances 

in which a normally categorically 

excluded action may have a significant 

environmental impact requiring further 

analysis. Accordingly, the FAA has 

determined that no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment or environmental impact 

study.

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 airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Hutchinson 

Municipal Airport/Butler Field, 

Hutchinson, MN, to support IFR 

operations at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published an NPRM for 

Docket No. FAA–2023–2116 in the 

Federal Register (88 FR 76153; 

November 6, 2023) proposing to amend 

the Class E airspace at Hutchinson, MN. 

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 paragraph 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 7400.11H, 

dated August 11, 2023, and effective 

September 15, 2023. FAA Order JO 

7400.11H 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 7400.11H 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 airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

to within a 6.4-mile (decreased from a 

6.6-mile) radius of Hutchinson 

Municipal Airport/Butler Field, 

Hutchinson, MN; and updates the name 

(previously Hutchinson Municipal 

Airport-Butler Field) of 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 

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
