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 James A. 

Rhodes Airport, Jackson, OH, to support 

IFR operations at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published an NPRM for 

Docket No. FAA–2023–2113 in the 

Federal Register (88 FR 76158; 

November 6, 2023) proposing to amend 

the Class E airspace at Jackson, 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 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 6.8-mile (decreased from a 

7.5-mile) radius of James A. Rhodes 

Airport, Jackson, OH; updates the 

geographic coordinates of airport to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database; and removes the city 

associated with the airport from the 

header to comply with changes to FAA 

Order JO 7400.2P, Procedures for 

Handling Airspace Matters. 

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 

modify the route structure as necessary 

to preserve the safe and efficient flow of 

air traffic within the National Airspace 

System (NAS). 

Incorporation by Reference 

VOR Federal Airways are published 

in paragraph 6010 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. 

These updates will be published in the 

next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11. 

That order is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. 

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 VOR Federal Airway V–4 in 

the vicinity of Burley, ID. The FAA is 

taking this action to update one of the 

radials used in the airway description. 

During a review of VOR Federal Airway 

V–4, the FAA discovered that V–4 was 

established without the accuracy of the 

Terminal Area Route Generation and 

Traffic Simulation software tool used 

today. Because of this, there is a onedegree discrepancy in the airway 

description. The current airway 

description for V–4 includes the 

intersection of the Boise, ID, Very High 

Frequency Omnidirectional Range/ 

Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) 130° 

and the Burley, ID, Very High 

Frequency Omnidirectional Range/ 

Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/ 

DME) 292° radials (ALKAL, Fix). 

However, the ALKAL Fix has been 

reviewed and is located at the 

intersection of the Boise VORTAC 130° 

and the Burley VOR/DME 293° radials. 

This action corrects the Burley VOR/ 

DME radial used for defining the 

ALKAL Fix. The amendment is 

described below. 

V–4: V–4 currently extends between 

the Tatoosh, WA, VORTAC and the 

Armel, VA, VOR/DME and includes the 

intersection of the INT Boise 130° and 

Burley, ID, 292° radials (ALKAL, Fix). 

This rule changes the component radials 

that makeup the ALKAL Fix to the 

intersection of the Boise VORTAC 130° 

and Burley VOR/DME 293° radials. 

The radials in the V–4 airway 

description are listed in degrees True 

north. 

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 of amending Federal Airway V– 

4 in the vicinity of Burley, 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– 

6.5.k., which categorically excludes 

from further environmental review the 

publication of existing air traffic control 

procedures that do not essentially 

change existing tracks, create new 

tracks, change altitude, or change 

concentration of aircraft on these tracks. 

As such, this action is not expected to 

result in 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 

prepared of an environmental impact 

statement.

14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 31523; Amdt. No. 4093] 

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums 

and Obstacle Departure Procedures; 

Miscellaneous Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, 

suspends, or removes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPS) and associated Takeoff 

Minimums and Obstacle Departure 

procedures (ODPs) for operations at 

certain airports. These regulatory 

actions are needed because of the 

adoption of new or revised criteria, or 

because of changes occurring in the 

National Airspace System, such as the 

commissioning of new navigational 

facilities, adding new obstacles, or 

changing air traffic requirements. These 

changes are designed to provide safe 

and efficient use of the navigable 

airspace and to promote safe flight 

operations under instrument flight rules 

at the affected airports. 

DATES: This rule is effective January 11, 

2024. The compliance date for each 

SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, 

and ODP is specified in the amendatory 

provisions. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the 

regulations is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of January 11, 

2024.

Telephone (405) 954–1139. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

amends 14 CFR part 97 by establishing, 

amending, suspending, or removes 

SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or 

ODPS. The complete regulatory 

description of each SIAP and its 

associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP 

for an identified airport is listed on FAA 

form documents which are incorporated 

by reference in this amendment under 5 

U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 

CFR 97.20. The applicable FAA Forms 

8260–3, 8260–4, 8260–5, 8260–15A, 

8260–15B, when required by an entry 

on 8260–15A, and 8260–15C. 

The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs, their complex 

nature, and the need for a special format 

make publication in the Federal 

Register expensive and impractical. 

Further, pilots do not use the regulatory 

text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or 

ODPs, but instead refer to their graphic 

depiction on charts printed by 

publishers or aeronautical materials. 

Thus, the advantages of incorporation 

by reference are realized and 

publication of the complete description 

of each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODP listed on FAA form documents is 

unnecessary. This amendment provides 

the affected CFR sections and specifies 

the types of SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums 

and ODPs with their applicable effective 

dates. This amendment also identifies 

the airport and its location, the 

procedure, and the amendment number. 

Availability and Summary of Material 

Incorporated by Reference 

The material incorporated by 

reference is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section. 

The material incorporated by 

reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff 

Minimums and/or ODPs as identified in 

the amendatory language for part 97 of 

this final rule. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is 

effective upon publication of each 

separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODP as amended in the transmittal. 

Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and 

textual ODP amendments may have 

been issued previously by the FAA in a 

Flight Data Center (FDC) Notice to Air 

Missions (NOTAM) as an emergency 

action of immediate flights safety 

relating directly to published 

aeronautical charts. 

The circumstances that created the 

need for some SIAP and Takeoff 

Minimums and ODP amendments may 

require making them effective in less 

than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs 

and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an 

effective date at least 30 days after 

publication is provided. 

Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs contained in this 

amendment are based on the criteria 

contained in the U.S. Standard for 

Terminal Instrument Procedures 

(TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and 

Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the 

TERPS criteria were applied to the 

conditions existing or anticipated at the 

affected airports. Because of the close 

and immediate relationship between 

these SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and 

ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find 

that notice and public procedure under 

5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and 

contrary to the public interest and, 

where applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), 

good cause exists for making some 

SIAPs effective in less than 30 days. 

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 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
