[Docket No. FAA–2013–0658; Airspace 

Docket No. 13–ASW–17] 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Del 

Rio, TX 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

airspace at Del Rio, TX. Controlled 

airspace is necessary to accommodate 

new circling approach requirements at 

Laughlin Air Force Base (AFB). The 

FAA is taking this action to enhance the 

safety and management of Instrument 

Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the 

airport. Geographic coordinates are also 

updated. 

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, 

February 6, 2014. 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 7400.9 and 

publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On August 26, 2013, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

to amend Class E airspace for the Del 

Rio, TX, area, creating additional 

controlled airspace at Laughlin AFB (78 

FR 52716) Docket No. FAA–2013–0658. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. Class E airspace 

designations are published in paragraph 

6003 of FAA Order 7400.9X dated 

August 7, 2013, and effective September 

15, 2013, which is incorporated by 

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 

airspace designations listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

amending Class E airspace designated as 

an extension to a Class C surface area at 

Laughlin AFB, Del Rio, TX. An 

additional segment to the north is 

needed to contain approach category E 

military aircraft conducting circling 

approaches to the airport, to retain the 

safety and management of IFR aircraft in 

Class E airspace to/from the en route 

environment. Geographic coordinates 

are also updated to coincide with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database. 

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. Therefore, this regulation: (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. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

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 establishes 

additional controlled airspace at 

Laughlin AFB, Del Rio, TX. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. 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.

Floodplain Management and 

Protection of Wetlands; Correction 

AGENCY: Office of the General Counsel, 

HUD. 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: HUD is correcting a final rule 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 15, 2013. The November 15, 

2013, final rule revised HUD’s 

regulations governing the protection of 

wetlands and floodplains. Upon 

publication, HUD discovered that it 

inadvertently duplicated an activity that 

the final rule exempts from the 8 Step 

Process for floodplains and wetlands 

management compliance. As a result, 

this document corrects this duplication 

by removing the duplication. 

DATES: Effective Date: December 16, 

2013.

Counsel for Regulations, Office of

speech impairments may access this 

number through TTY by calling the

(this is a toll-free number). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

November 15, 2013 (78 FR 68719), HUD 

published a final rule that revised its 

regulations governing the protection of 

wetlands and floodplains codified at 24 

CFR part 55. Section 55.12(c) of the rule 

lists activities exempt from the 

applicability of 24 CFR part 55. Among 

other things, the final rule added to the 

list of exempted activities the approval 

of financial assistance for restoring and 

preserving the functions and values of 

floodplains and wetlands. Upon review 

of the published final rule, HUD 

discovered that this exemption was 

added at §§ 55.12(c)(3) and (c)(12). 

These duplicated paragraphs are 

identical. As a result, HUD is correcting 

this final rule by deleting § 55.12(c)(12). 

In FR Doc. 2013–27427 appearing on 

page 68719 in the Federal Register of 

Friday, November 15, 2013, the 

following correction is made: 

§ 55.12 [Corrected] 

■ 1. On page 68732, in the second 

column, remove § 55.12(c)(12). 

Dated: December 3, 2013.
