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 would 

amend Class E airspace in Winder, GA.

submitting written comments, data, or 

views. Comments are specifically 

invited on the proposal’s overall 

regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 

environmental, and energy-related 

aspects. The most helpful comments 

reference a specific portion of the 

proposal, explain the reason for any 

recommended change, and include 

supporting data. To ensure the docket 

does not contain duplicate comments, 

commenters should submit only once if

The FAA will file in the docket all 

comments it receives and a report 

summarizing each substantive public 

contact with FAA personnel concerning 

this proposed rulemaking. Before acting 

on this proposal, the FAA will consider 

all comments it receives on or before the 

closing date for comments. The FAA 

will consider comments filed after the 

comment period has closed if it is 

possible without incurring expense or 

delay. The FAA may change this 

proposal in light of the comments it 

receives. 

Privacy: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 

553(c), the DOT solicits comments from 

the public to inform its rulemaking 

process better. DOT posts these 

comments, without edit, including any 

personal information the commenter

Incorporation by Reference 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1 annually. This document proposes 

to amend the current version of that 

order, FAA Order JO 7400.11H, 

Airspace Designations and Reporting 

Points, dated August 11, 2023, and 

effective September 15, 2023. These 

updates will be published in the next 

FAA Order JO 7400.11 update. FAA 

Order JO 7400.11H 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 Proposal 

The FAA proposes an amendment to 

14 CFR part 71 to amend Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface for Barrow County 

Airport, Winder, GA, by updating the 

airport name (formerly Winder Airport) 

and geographic coordinates to coincide 

with the FAA’s database. Also, the FAA 

is proposing to amend the radius by 

increasing it to 7.1 miles (previously 6.5 

miles), which is consistent with the 

outcome of an airspace evaluation. 

Controlled airspace is necessary for the 

area’s safety and management of 

instrument flight rules (IFR) operations. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed 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 Department of 

Transportation (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 will only affect air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this proposed rule, when 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures,’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
