within a 6-mile radius of HighlandsCashiers Hospital. Additionally, this 

action deletes the Point In Space 

Coordinates for Highlands-Cashiers 

Hospital and uses Highlands-Cashiers 

Hospital as a reference to accommodate 

Class E airspace requirements. 

Controlled airspace is necessary for the 

safety and management of instrument 

flight rules (IFR) operations in the area. 

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 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 

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 exist 

that warrant the preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

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 E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface for 

Tallahassee Memorial Hospital Heliport, 

Tallahassee, FL. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 

FAA 2023–2171 in the Federal Register 

(89 FR 54741; July 2, 2024), proposing 

to amend Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

for Tallahassee Memorial Hospital 

Heliport, Tallahassee, 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.

airspace areas, air traffic service routes, 

and reporting points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

amends Class E airspace by adding

radius of the point in space (Lat. 

30°27′26′′ N, long. 84°15′40′′ W) for 

Tallahassee Memorial Hospital Heliport, 

Tallahassee, FL. Additionally, it corrects 

the Tallahassee International Airport 

name and coordinates for Tallahassee 

International Airport (formerly 

Tallahassee Regional Airport) and 

Quincy Municipal Airport. Controlled 

airspace is necessary for the safety and 

management of instrument flight rules 

(IFR) operations in the area.

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums 

and Obstacle Departure Procedures; 

Miscellaneous Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule amends, suspends, 

or removes Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and 

associated Takeoff Minimums and 

Obstacle Departure Procedures for 

operations at certain airports. These 

regulatory actions are needed because of 

the adoption of new or revised criteria, 

or because of changes occurring in the 

National Airspace System, such as the 

commissioning of new navigational 

facilities, adding new obstacles, or 

changing air traffic requirements. These 

changes are designed to provide for the 

safe and efficient use of the navigable 

airspace and to promote safe flight 

operations under instrument flight rules 

at the affected airports. 

DATES: This rule is effective October 18, 

2024. The compliance date for each 

SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, 

and ODP is specified in the amendatory 

provisions. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the 

regulations is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of October 18, 

2024.
