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 designated as 

an extension to the Class C surface area 

at Austin-Bergstrom International 

Airport, Austin, TX; amend the Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at AustinBergstrom International Airport and 

Austin Executive Airport, Austin, TX; 

and establish Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Lago Vista TX/Rusty Allen Airport, 

Lago Vista, TX, and Lakeway Airpark, 

Lakeway, TX, to bring the airspace into 

compliance with FAA orders and 

support IFR operations at these airports. 

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

Incorporation by Reference 

Class E airspace is published in 

paragraphs 6003 and 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 

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 the surface 

designated as an extension to a Class C 

surface area within 2.2 miles each side 

of the 359° bearing from the AustinBergstrom INTL: RWY 18R–LOC 

extending from the 5-mile radius to 7.1 

miles north of the Austin-Bergstrom 

INTL: RWY 18R–LOC; and within 2 

miles each side of the 359° bearing from 

the Austin-Bergstrom International 

Airport, Austin, TX, extending from the 

5-mile radius of Austin-Bergstrom 

International Airport to 6 miles north of 

the Austin-Bergstrom International 

Airport; 

Modifying the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Austin, TX, by removing 

the point of origin reference and the 

associated airspace as it is no longer 

required; removing Lakeway Airpark 

and the Lago-Vista Rusty Allen Airport 

and the associated airspace as the 

airspace will no longer adjoin the 

Austin, TX, Class E airspace and 

separate Class E airspace is being 

established for these airports; adding 

within a 7.5-mile radius of the AustinBergstrom International Airport; adding 

within 4 miles either side of the 179° 

bearing from the Austin-Bergstrom 

INTL: RWY 36R–GS extending from the 

7.5-mile radius of Austin-Bergstrom 

International Airport to 7.7 miles south 

of the Austin-Bergstrom INTL: RWY 

36R–GS; within a 6.6-mile (increased 

from a 6.3-mile) radius of the Austin

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 231 / Monday, December 2, 2024 / Proposed Rules 95143 

Executive Airport, Austin, TX; within 2 

miles each side of the 131° bearing from 

Austin Executive Airport extending 

from the 6.6-mile (previously 6.3-mile) 

radius of Austin Executive Airport to 

11.2 (decreased from 11.3) miles 

southeast of the Austin Executive 

Airport; and within 2 miles each side of 

the 311° bearing from the Austin 

Executive Airport extending from the 

6.6-mile (previously 6.3-mile) radius of 

Austin Executive Airport to 10.9 

(increased from 10.5) miles northwest of 

the Austin Executive Airport; 

Establishing Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 7-mile radius of Lago Vista TX/ 

Rusty Allen Airport, Lago Vista, TX; 

And establishing Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface within a 6.8-mile radius of 

Lakeway Airport, Lakeway, TX. 

This action is the result of biennial 

airspace reviews and to bring the 

airspace into compliance with FAA 

orders and support IFR operations at 

these airports. 

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.

Inspector General’s Exclusion 

Authorities 

AGENCY: Office of Inspector General 

(OIG), Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: This proposed rule proposes 

to amend the regulations relating to 

exclusion authorities under the 

authority of the Office of Inspector 

General (OIG) of the Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS or the 

Department). The proposed rule would 

codify changes made by the Medicaid 

Services Investment and Accountability 

Act of 2019 (MSIAA), that added 

exclusion authorities related to 

misclassification and false information 

about outpatient drugs. The proposed 

rule would also update and clarify OIG’s 

procedures for excluding individuals 

and entities from participation in the 

Federal health care programs, including 

the factors that will be considered in 

determining the length of exclusions, 

the provisions governing notices of 

exclusions, and certain provisions 

related to reinstatement into the 

programs.
