Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D

the Class D description. This action also 

updates the geographic coordinates for 

the Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface. It 

revokes Class E airspace designated as 

an extension to a Class D surface area. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, May 16, 

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

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 

Class D and Class E airspace and 

removes the Class E airspace designated 

as an extension to a Class D surface area 

in Jupiter, FL. An airspace evaluation 

determined that this update is necessary 

to support IFR operations in the area. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 

FAA 2023–1587 in the Federal Register 

(88 FR 48396; July 27, 2023), amending 

Class D and Class E airspaces extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

for William P. Gwinn Airport, Jupiter, 

FL. 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 D and Class E airspace 

designations are published in 

Paragraphs 5000, 6004, and 6005 of 

FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1 annually. 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 FAA Order JO 

7400.11 update. 

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 Class D airspace and Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface for William P. 

Gwinn Airport, Jupiter, FL, by 

increasing the Class D radius to 4.5 

miles (previously 4.1 miles) and 

updating the geographic coordinates of 

the Class E airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface to 

coincide with the FAA’s database. This 

action removes the city name from the 

second line of the Class E airspace 

description. This action also replaces 

Notice to Airmen with Notice to Air 

Missions and Airport/Facility Directory 

with Chart Supplement in the Class D 

description. Finally, this action removes 

the Class E airspace designated as an 

extension to a Class D surface area, due 

to all approaches utilizing the United 

NDB and Pahokee VORTAC have been 

canceled, and the extensions are no 

longer required. 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 

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 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 5–6.5a. This airspace action 

is not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances warrant 

the preparation of an environmental 

assessment.

Acceptable Payment Methods 

AGENCY: Office of Surface Mining 

Reclamation and Enforcement, Interior. 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Surface Mining 

Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) 

is issuing this direct final rule to amend 

its regulations by reducing the threshold 

for electronic payment of quarterly 

Abandoned Mine Land (AML) 

reclamation fees from $25,000 to $500. 

On April 30, 2024, the U.S. Department 

of the Treasury (Treasury) will close 

OSMRE’s lockbox, which is used to 

process non-electronic reclamation fee 

payments. After April 15, 2024, 

quarterly reclamation fees of $500 or 

more must be paid by electronic 

transfer, while quarterly reclamation 

fees of less than $500 may be paid by 

electronic transfer or by check or money 

order sent to OSMRE’s Division of 

Financial Management. By reducing the 

threshold for electronic payments, 

OSMRE will receive more payments 

through electronic funds transfer, which 

will expedite and streamline its fee 

collection efforts. 

DATES: This direct final rule is effective 

April 15, 2024, without further notice, 

unless OSMRE receives significant 

adverse comment by March 7, 2024. If 

OSMRE receives a significant adverse 

comment that leads it to conclude that 

the rule is controversial, OSMRE will 

publish a timely withdrawal in the 

Federal Register. 

ADDRESSES: Send written comments

2023–0010 or regulation identifier

Determinations 

I. Background 

Title IV of the Surface Mining Control 

and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA) 

(30 U.S.C. 1231–1244) created the 

Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund, 

which is funded in part by a 

reclamation fee (also known as the 

Abandoned Mine Land (AML) fee) 

assessed on each ton of coal produced 

in the United States, and that, among 

other things, provides funding to 

eligible States and Tribes for the 

reclamation of coal mining sites 

abandoned or left in an inadequate 

reclamation status as of August 3, 1977. 

Section 402(b) of SMCRA (30 U.S.C. 

1232(b)) requires coal mine operators 

and/or permittees to pay reclamation 

fees no later than thirty days after the 

end of each calendar quarter. 

OSMRE collects these fees from coal 

mine operators and/or permittees 

through electronic funds transfer and 

non-electronic payments. Currently, 

coal mine operators and/or permittees 

are required to send non-electronic fee 

payments to OSMRE’s lockbox in 

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 

In April 2018, Treasury’s Bureau of 

the Fiscal Service published a white 

paper titled, ‘‘The Future of Federal 

Financial Management,’’ which outlined 

an initiative to transform Federal 

collections by, among other things, 

reducing revenue collection lockboxes 

and increasing digitization. 

Subsequently, OSMRE received notice 

from Treasury’s General Lockbox 

Network (GLN) that it intended to close 

OSMRE’s lockbox by September 30, 

2023, as part of its effort to close all 

lockboxes functioning below a 

minimum item threshold of 1,000 items. 

(OSMRE’s lockbox receives fewer than 

400 items annually.) The GLN is a 

collection and processing service 

provided by certain financial 

institutions to help federal government 

agencies process paper checks and other 

remittance documents (not related to 

taxes) that are received through the 

mail. To allow time to amend its 

regulations, OSMRE requested a lockbox 

closure extension until April 30, 2024, 

which Treasury approved. 

OSMRE is promulgating this direct 

final rule pursuant to section 413(a) of 

SMCRA (30 U.S.C. 1242(a)), which
