14 CFR Part 71 

[Docket No. FAA–2024–2159; Airspace 

Docket No. 24–AGL–20] 

RIN 2120–AA66 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Zanesville, OH 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class 

E airspace at Zanesville, OH. This action 

is the result of an airspace review 

conducted due to the decommissioning 

of the Zanesville very high frequency 

omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of 

the VOR Minimum Operational 

Network (MON) Program. The 

geographic coordinates of the Zanesville 

Municipal Airport, Zanesville, OH, and 

the name of Genesis Health Care 

Heliport, Zanesville, OH, 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 surface airspace and the Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Zanesville 

Municipal Airport, Zanesville, OH, to 

support IFR operations at this airport. 

History 

The FAA published an NPRM for 

Docket No. FAA–2024–2159 in the 

Federal Register (89 FR 70585; August 

30, 2024) proposing to amend the Class 

E airspace at Zanesville, OH. Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this rulemaking effort by submitting 

written comments on the proposal to the 

FAA. One comment was received 

supporting the proposed airspace 

amendment with concerns around 

encroaching on operations at Riverside 

Airport, Zanesville, OH. The following 

response is provided: 

The expansion of the Class E surface 

airspace radius at Zanesville Municipal 

Airport, Zanesville, OH, is required to 

comply with FAA Order JO 7400.2P, 

Procedures for Handling Airspace 

Matters, to protect IFR operations at the 

airport while the overall Class E surface 

airspace is being reduced with the 

removal of the current extensions that 

are no longer required. The visual flight 

rule (VFR) operations from runway 3/21 

at Riverside Airport were taken into 

consideration, and a 1-mile cutout is 

standard for VFR operations. The 

weather minimums for the Class E 

surface airspace at Zanesville Municipal 

Airport should not impede operations at 

Riverside Airport as it is limited to VFR 

operations. 

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 surface airspace 

to within a 4.5-mile (increased from a 4- 

mile) radius of Zanesville Municipal 

Airport, Zanesville, OH; removing the 

Zanesville NDB and associated 

extensions from the airspace legal 

description as they are no longer 

needed; removing the Zanesville VOR/ 

DME and associated extensions from the 

airspace legal description; updating the 

geographic coordinates of Zanesville 

Municipal Airport to coincide with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database; and 

removing the city associated with 

Riverside Airport, Zanesville, OH, from 

the header of the airspace legal 

description to comply with changes to 

FAA Order JO 7400.2P; 

And modifies the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface to within a 7-mile (reduced 

from an 8.5-mile) radius of Zanesville 

Municipal Airport; removing the 

Zanesville VOR/DME and associated 

extension from the airspace legal 

description; adding an extension 4 miles 

each side of the 034° bearing from the 

airport extending from the 7-mile radius 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
89478 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 13, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

to 11.4 miles northeast of the airport; 

adding an extension 4 miles each side 

of the 214° bearing from the airport 

extending from the 7-mile radius to 11.5 

miles southwest of the airport; adding 

the Genesis Health Care Heliport, 

Zanesville, OH, point in space 

coordinates that had been inadvertently 

removed from the airspace legal 

description in a previous amendment to 

the header of the airspace legal 

description; updating the name of the 

Genesis Health Care Heliport (previous 

Bethesda Hospital) to coincide with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database; and 

removing 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 

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.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

14 CFR Part 97 

[Docket No. 31574; Amdt. No. 4138] 

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 November 

13, 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 November 

13, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter 

incorporated by reference in the 

amendment is as follows:
