Docket No. 24–AGL–16] 

RIN 2120–AA66 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

South Haven, MI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class 

E airspace at South Haven, MI. This 

action is the result of an airspace review 

conducted due to the decommissioning 

of the Pullman very high frequency 

omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of 

the VOR Minimum Operational 

Network (MON) Program. The 

geographic coordinates of the South 

Haven Regional Airport, South Haven, 

MI, and the name of Cromwell Health 

Watervliet Community Hospital 

Heliport, Watervliet, MI, are also being 

updated to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database. This action 

brings the airspace into compliance 

with FAA orders and supports 

instrument flight rule (IFR) procedures 

and operations. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 20, 

2025. 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 South 

Haven Regional Airport, South Haven, 

MI, to support IFR operations at this 

airport. 

History 

The FAA published an NPRM for 

Docket No. FAA–2024–1912 in the 

Federal Register (89 FR 60581; July 26, 

2024) proposing to amend the Class E 

airspace at South Haven, MI. 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 7400.11J, 

dated July 31, 2024, and effective 

September 15, 2024. 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 7400.11J 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 

at South Haven Regional Airport, South 

Haven, MI, by removing the Pullman 

VORTAC and associated extension from 

the airspace legal description; updates 

the geographic coordinates of the airport 

to coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database; removes the city associated 

with Cromwell Health Watervliet 

Community Hospital Heliport, 

Watervliet, MI, to comply with changes 

to FAA Order JO 7400.2P, Procedures 

for Handling Airspace Matters; updates 

the name of Cromwell Health Watervliet 

Community Hospital Heliport 

(previously Watervliet Community 

Hospital) to coincide with the FAA’s 

aeronautical database; and removes the 

exclusionary language as it is no longer 

required. 

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 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
87466 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 213 / Monday, November 4, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

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.

Revocation of Class E Airspace; 

Manchester, NH 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; withdrawal. 

SUMMARY: A final rule was published in 

the Federal Register on August 19, 

2024, revoking Class E surface airspace 

for Manchester Boston Regional Airport, 

Manchester, NH, as the overlying Class 

C airspace deemed the Class E surface 

airspace unnecessary. The FAA has 

determined that withdrawal of the final 

rule is warranted since this action was 

inconsistent with the associated notice 

of proposed rulemaking that referenced 

Class E surface airspace. 

DATES: The final rule published in the 

Federal Register on August 19, 2024 (89 

FR 66988) is withdrawn as of November 

4, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

The FAA published a final rule in the 

Federal Register (89 FR 66988, August 

19, 2024) for Doc. No. FAA–2024–1361, 

revoking Class E surface airspace for 

Manchester Boston Regional Airport, 

Manchester, NH. After publication, the 

FAA found that this final rule revoked 

Class E surface airspace but referenced 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface. As a result, 

the final rule is being withdrawn. 

The Withdrawal 

■ In consideration of the foregoing, the 

final rule for Docket No. FAA–2024– 

1361 (89 FR 66988, August 19, 2024),

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Claremont, NH 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: A final rule was published in 

the Federal Register on October 3, 2024, 

amending Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

for Claremont Municipal Airport, 

Claremont, NH, as the Claremont Nondirectional Beacon (NDB) had been 

decommissioned, and associated 

instrument approaches canceled. This 

action corrects the Claremont Municipal 

Airport coordinates within the airspace 

description that contained a 

typographical error. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 20, 

2025. 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.
