Docket No. 23–AGL–29] 

RIN 2120–AA66 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Hutchinson, MN 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class 

E airspace at Hutchinson, MN. This 

action is the result of an airspace review 

conducted due to the decommissioning 

of the Darwin very high frequency 

omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of 

the VOR Minimum Operating Network 

(MON) Program. The name of the airport 

is also being updated to coincide with 

the FAA’s aeronautical database. This 

action brings the airspace into 

compliance with FAA orders to support 

instrument flight rule (IFR) operations. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, March 21, 

2024. 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. 

ADDRESSES: A copy of the Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), all 

comments received, this final rule, and 

all background material may be viewed

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 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 8 / Thursday, January 11, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 1793 

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: 

History 

The FAA published a final rule in the 

Federal Register (88 FR 88528; 

December 22, 2023) for Docket FAA– 

2023–1006, which modified Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at the MindenTahoe Airport, Minden, NV. Subsequent 

to publication, the FAA identified that 

line one of the Class E airspace legal 

description contained the two-letter 

abbreviation for the state as ‘‘CA’’, 

which was incorrect. The two-letter 

abbreviation of the state in line one of 

the legal description should be ‘‘NV’’. 

This action corrects the error. 

Correction to the Final Rule 

In FR Doc 2023–28228 at 88529, 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 22, 2023, the FAA makes the 

following corrections: 

■ 1. On page 88529, in the second 

column, correct the first line of the legal 

description for E5 Minden, NV to read 

as follows: 

AWP NV E5 Minden, NV [Corrected]
