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 

the listed title associated with the Class 

E airspace indicated California (CA) 

instead of Nevada (NV). The FAA also 

identified an error in the text of the 

Class E airspace legal description. The 

airspace extending from the 4.2-miles 

radius to 7 miles south of the airport is 

described as ‘‘1.2 miles each side of a 

180° bearing’’; it should say ‘‘1.1 miles 

each side of the airport’s 180° bearing’’, 

as proposed. This action corrects these 

typographical errors. 

Correction to the Final Rule 

In FR Doc 2023–28228 at 88528, 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 22, 2023, the FAA makes the 

following corrections: 

■ 1. On page 88529, beginning in the 

second and continuing into the third 

column, correct the AWP NV E5 

Minden airspace title and description to 

read as follows: 

AWP NV E5 Minden, NV [Corrected] 

Minden-Tahoe Airport, NV 

(Lat. 39°00′02′′ N, long. 119°45′04′′ W) 

That airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface within a 4.2-mile 

radius of the airport, that airspace 2 miles 

each side of the airport’s 001° bearing 

extending from the 4.2-mile radius to 8.9 

miles north of the airport, and that airspace 

1.1 miles each side of the airport’s 180° 

bearing extending from the 4.2-mile radius to 

7 miles south of the airport.

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. 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 14 / Monday, January 22, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 3883 

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 will expand 

the availability of RNAV routing in the 

eastern United States and improve the 

efficient flow of air traffic within the 

NAS by lessening the dependency on 

ground-based navigation. 

History 

The FAA published a NPRM for 

Docket No. FAA–2023–1417 in the 

Federal Register (88 FR 42889; July 5, 

2023), proposing to establish one and 

amend one RNAV route in support of 

transitioning the NAS from a groundbased to a satellite-based navigation. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. 

Differences From the NPRM 

Subsequent to the publication of the 

NPRM, the FAA identified a 

typographical error in the title and the 

summary that incorrectly stated RNAV 

Route T–739 was to be amended. The 

correct RNAV Route amended is T–393. 

Additionally, in the NPRM’s 

description of RNAV Route T–393, the 

FAA incorrectly listed the GAILS, MA 

route point as a waypoint (WP). The 

route point is actually identified as a Fix 

in the National Airspace System 

Resource (NASR) database and charted 

as a Fix accordingly. This final rule 

corrects these errors. 

Incorporation by Reference 

United States Area Navigation routes 

are published in paragraph 2006 and 

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 

establishing RNAV Route Q–476 and 

amending RNAV Route T–393 in the 

northeastern United States to support 

NextGen efforts to provide a modern 

RNAV route structure to improve the 

safety and efficiency of the NAS. The 

RNAV routes are described below. 

Q–476: Q–476 is a new RNAV route 

that extends from the Jamestown, NY 

(JHW), Very High Frequency 

Omnidirectional Range/Distance 

Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) to 

the NWTON, NJ, WP. This route 

overlays portions of Jet Routes J–106 

and J–70 from the Jamestown VOR/DME 

to the Stillwater, NY (STW), VOR/DME. 

Q–476 provides connectivity for RNAVequipped aircraft between the 

Jamestown, NY area and the Newark, NJ 

area. 

T–393: T–393 is an amended route 

that extends from the GAILS, MA, Fix 

to the Burlington, VT (BTV), VOR/DME. 

This amended route replaces the 

PUTNM, CT, WP with the Putnam, CT 

(PUT), VOR/DME due to the Putnam, 

CT (PUT), VOR/DME planned 

decommissioning being extended until 

the year 2028. Fixes are removed from 

the route’s legal description for 

segments that contain turns of less than 

one degree. The following Fixes are 

removed; INNDY, MA, Fix; FOSTY, RI, 

Fix; GRIPE, MA, Fix; STRUM, NH, Fix; 

UNKER, NH, Fix; MCADM, NH, Fix; 

ZIECH, VT, Fix; DAVID, VT, Fix; 

CEVIB, VT, Fix; and POROE, VT, Fix. 

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 establishing RNAV Route Q– 

476 and amending RNAV Route T–393 

in the northeastern United States, to 

provide additional RNAV routing 

within the NAS in support of 

transitioning it from ground-based to 

satellite-based navigation, 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– 

6.5b, which categorically excludes from 

further environmental impact review 

‘‘Actions regarding establishment of jet 

routes and Federal airways (see 14 CFR 

71.15, Designation of jet routes and VOR 

Federal airways) . . .’’. As such, this 

airspace action is not expected to cause 

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.

M. Administrative Procedure Act 

I. Background 

FOGRMA, at 30 U.S.C. 1719(a) 

through (d), authorizes the Secretary of 

the Interior (‘‘Secretary’’) to assess CMPs 

for royalty reporting and other 

violations. Pursuant to authority 

delegated to it by the Secretary, ONRR 

published regulations at 30 CFR part 

1241 implementing the Secretary’s CMP 

authority. The Inflation Adjustment 

Acts require Federal agencies to publish 

annual CMP inflation adjustments in the 

Federal Register by January 15th of each 

year. 

The Inflation Adjustment Acts and 

OMB Memorandum No. M–24–07, 

December 19, 2023, (‘‘OMB 

Memorandum’’) specify that the annual 

inflation adjustments are based on the 

percent change between the Consumer 

Price Index for all Urban Consumers 

(‘‘CPI–U’’) published by the Department 

of Labor for the month of October in the 

year of the previous adjustment, and the 

October CPI–U for the preceding year. 

The OMB Memorandum further 

specifies that the cost-of-living 

adjustment multiplier for 2024, not 

seasonally adjusted, is 1.03241 for CY 

2024 (the October 2023 CPI–U (307.671) 

divided by the October 2022 CPI–U 

(298.012) = 1.03241). ONRR used this 

guidance to calculate required inflation 

adjustments. Pursuant to the Inflation 

Adjustment Acts, any increases in CMPs 

are rounded to the nearest whole dollar 

and the new maximum penalty rates 

apply to CMPs assessed after the date 

the increase takes effect. 

II. ONRR’s Inflation-Adjusted 

Maximum Rates 

This final rule increases the 

maximum CMP dollar amounts for each 

of the four violation categories 

identified in 30 U.S.C. 1719(a)–(d) and 

implemented by 30 CFR part 1241. The 

following table identifies the applicable 

ONRR regulations, the dollar amounts 

set forth in the regulations, and the 

adjusted amounts.
