73272 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 175 / Tuesday, September 10, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

2The AOOs include: air traffic control clearances 

and procedures; flight by reference to instruments; 

navigation systems; instrument approach 

procedures; emergency operations; and postflight 

procedures. 

3See 89 FR 22496, stating that the FAA simply 

proposed to remove the specific AOOs from the 

regulation itself and, instead, provide a table within 

the applicable ACS in the appendix with the 

specific AOOs and tasks to be tested. See also 87 

FR 75963. 

inadvertently and incorrectly set forth 

certain regulatory text in 14 CFR part 61 

that the FAA did not intend to include. 

Specifically, the FAA adopted the 

requirement for instrument proficiency 

checks (IPC) under § 61.57(d) to consist 

of the areas of operation (AOO) 

contained in the applicable ACS, as 

appropriate to the rating held, intending 

to remove the list of AOOs set forth in 

§ 61.57(d)(1)(i) through (vi).2 As 

discussed in the final rule, the 

applicable ACS sets forth the AOOs to 

be included in the IPC with an 

accompanying task table in the 

appendix. 

The preamble to both the NPRM and 

the final rule clearly communicated that 

the final rule intended to remove 

§ 61.57(d)(1)(i) through (vi) (i.e., the 

AOOs) because the ACS incorporated by 

reference would set forth the AOOs in 

the appendix task table.3 However, the 

amendatory instructions to the final rule 

inadvertently maintained § 61.57(d)(1)(i) 

through (vi), which duplicates the AOO 

tasking table in the applicable ACS, as 

incorporated by reference. This 

correction remedies that error by 

removing those paragraphs.

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Beloit, KS 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class 

E airspace at Beloit, KS. This action is 

the result of an airspace review 

conducted due to the decommissioning 

of the Mankato very high frequency 

omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of 

the VOR Minimum Operating Network 

(MON) Program. The geographic 

coordinates of the airport are also being 

updated to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. This action 

brings the airspace into compliance 

with FAA orders to support instrument 

flight rule (IFR) operations. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, December 

26, 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 

Order JO 7400.11 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

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 Moritz 

Memorial Airport, Beloit, KS, to support 

IFR operations at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published an NPRM for 

Docket No. FAA–2024–1119 in the 

Federal Register (89 FR 35027; May 1, 

2024) proposing to amend the Class E 

airspace at Beloit, KS. 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 7-mile (increased from a 6.5- 

mile) radius of Moritz Memorial 

Airport, Beloit, KS; corrects the state 

associated with the airport from IA to 

KS; and updates the geographic

coordinates of the airport to coincide 

with the FAA’s aeronautical database. 

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.

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

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it amends the 

Class D airspace at Perot Field/Fort 

Worth Alliance Airport, Fort Worth, TX, 

to support instrument flight rule 

operations at this airport. 

History 

The airspace at Perot Field/Fort 

Worth Alliance Airport, Fort Worth, TX, 

was reviewed as part a biennial airspace 

review. The airspace review revealed 

that the name and geographic 

coordinates of the airport had been 

changed, but the airspace legal 

description had not been updated. This 

action updates the name and geographic 

coordinates of the airport to coincide 

with the FAA’s aeronautical database. 

This action is an administrative change 

and does not affect the airspace 

boundaries or operating requirements. 

Incorporation by Reference 

Class D airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 5000 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 

7400.11J 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.
