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 would 

establish Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Faith Municipal Airport, Faith, SD, to 

support IFR operations at this airport. 

Comments Invited 

The FAA invites interested persons to 

participate in this rulemaking by 

submitting written comments, data, or 

views. Comments are specifically 

invited on the overall regulatory, 

aeronautical, economic, environmental, 

and energy-related aspects of the 

proposal. The most helpful comments 

reference a specific portion of the 

proposal, explain the reason for any 

recommended change, and include 

supporting data. To ensure the docket 

does not contain duplicate comments, 

commenters should submit only one 

time if comments are filed 

electronically, or commenters should 

send only one copy of written 

comments if comments are filed in 

writing. 

The FAA will file in the docket all 

comments it receives, as well as a report 

summarizing each substantive public 

contact with FAA personnel concerning 

this proposed rulemaking. Before acting 

on this proposal, the FAA will consider 

all comments it received on or before 

the closing date for comments. The FAA 

will consider comments filed after the 

comment period has closed if it is 

possible to do so without incurring 

expense or delay. The FAA may change 

this proposal in light of the comments 

it receives. 

Privacy: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 

553(c), DOT solicits comments from the 

public to better inform its rulemaking 

process. DOT post these comments, 

without edit, including any personal 

information the commenter provides, to 

www.regulations.gov as described in the 

system of records notice (DOT/ALL– 

14FDMS), which can be reviewed at

Incorporation by Reference 

Class E airspace is 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 proposes 

to amend the current version of that 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
89506 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 13, 2024 / Proposed Rules 

order, FAA Order JO 7400.11J, dated 

July 31, 2024, and effective September 

15, 2024. These updates would be 

published subsequently in the next 

update to FAA Order JO 7400.11. That 

order is publicly available as listed in 

the ADDRESSES section of this document. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11J lists Class A, 

B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic 

service routes, and reporting points. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 by establishing Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface within a 6.5-mile 

radius of Faith Municipal Airport, Faith, 

SD. 

This action is supports the 

development of new public instrument 

procedures at this airport and to support 

IFR operations. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed 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 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

Asset Management Plans; 

Management and Monitoring Systems 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), U.S. 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM); request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA) is proposing to 

amend its regulations governing riskbased Asset Management Plans (AMP). 

State departments of transportation 

(State DOT) are required to develop and 

implement a risk-based AMP for the 

National Highway System (NHS) to 

improve or preserve the condition of the 

assets and the performance of the NHS. 

Through this notice, FHWA is 

proposing to amend its AMP regulations 

to add and revise definitions in the rule 

and update the processes State DOTs are 

required to use in developing an AMP, 

the required content of the AMP, 

procedures for State DOTs to submit 

AMPs to FHWA to ensure that State 

DOTs are implementing AMPs 

consistent with law, and procedures for 

State DOTs to recertify their processes 

for developing the AMP. The FHWA is 

proposing these revisions to implement 

changes in law, advance current 

policies, and increase the flexibility for 

State DOTs to comply with AMP 

regulations. The FHWA is also making 

minor technical corrections and changes 

to the rule to improve readability. 

Finally, FHWA proposes to remove 

obsolete regulations governing 

transportation management and 

monitoring systems.

or before January 13, 2025.
