Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Milbank and South Dakota, SD 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class 

E airspace at Milbank, SD, and the State 

of South Dakota. The FAA is taking this 

action due to an airspace review 

conducted as part of the 

decommissioning of the Watertown very 

high frequency (VHF) omnidirectional 

range (VOR) as part of the VOR Minimal 

Operational Network (MON) Program. 

The geographic coordinates of the 

airport are also being updated to 

coincide with the FAA’s aeronautical 

database. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, September 

8, 2022. 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 Milbank 

Municipal Airport, Milbank, SD, to 

support instrument flight rule 

operations at this airport, and amends 

the Class E airspace extending upward 

from 1,200 feet above the surface over 

the State of South Dakota to clarify, 

simplify, standardize the airspace over 

the state, and close any gaps in the Class 

E airspace to support instrument flight 

rule operation over the state. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (87 FR 21058; April 11, 2022) 

for Docket No. FAA–2022–0307 to 

amend the Class E airspace at Milbank, 

SD, and the State of South Dakota. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 

2021, and effective September 15, 2021, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in FAA 

Order JO 7400.11. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order JO 

7400.11F, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 10, 

2021, and effective September 15, 2021. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly 

available as listed in the ADDRESSES

section of this document. FAA Order JO 

7400.11F 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: 

Amends the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 700 feet above 

the surface at Milbank Municipal 

Airport, Milbank, SD, by removing the 

Watertown VOR from the airspace legal 

description; updates the geographic 

coordinates of the airport to coincide 

with the FAA’s aeronautical database; 

and removes the airspace extending 

upward from 1,200 feet above the 

surface as it will become redundant 

with the amendment of the Class E 

airspace over the State of South Dakota; 

And amends the Class E airspace 

extending upward from 1,200 feet above 

the surface at South Dakota, SD, from 

‘‘. . . an area bounded on the north by 

lat. 43°40′00′′ N, on the east by long. 

100°05′00′′ W, on the south by the South 

Dakota, Nebraska border, and on the 

west by long. 102°00′02′′ W’’ to ‘‘. . . 

the boundary of the State of South 

Dakota’’ to clarify, simply, standardize 

the airspace over the state, and close 

any gaps in the Class E airspace. 

This action is due to an airspace 

review conducted as part of the 

decommissioning of the Watertown 

VOR, which provided navigation 

information for the instrument 

procedures at this airport, as part of the 

VOR MON Program. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on 

September 15. 

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, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. 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.

Streamlining Management and 

Occupancy Reviews for Section 8 

Housing Assistance Programs 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule amends 

existing project-based Section 8 

regulations related to Management and 

Occupancy Reviews (MORs) for the 

following seven project-based Section 8 

programs administered by the Office of 

Multifamily Housing Programs: the 

Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments 

(HAP) Programs for New Construction, 

Substantial Rehabilitation, State 

Housing Agencies, New Construction 

financed under Section 515 of the 

Housing Act of 1949, the Loan 

Management Set-Aside Program, the 

HAP Program for the Disposition of 

HUD-Owned Projects, and the Section 

202/8 Program. Under this final rule, 

MORs will be conducted in accordance 

with a performance-based schedule 

published in the Federal Register, 

following a notice and comment period. 

The first such schedule is being 

published concurrently with this final 

rule and can be found elsewhere in this 

issue of the Federal Register. HUD is 

making this move to a performancebased MOR schedule to establish a riskbased scheduling protocol, reduce the 

frequency of MORs for projects that 

consistently perform well, and provide 

consistency across programs with 

respect to MOR frequency. Additionally, 

HUD is correcting a regulatory citation 

in its regulations concerning the Section 

8 Housing Assistance Program for the 

Disposition of HUD-Owned Projects. 

DATES: The effective date of this final 

rule is September 26, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On January 14, 2015, HUD published 

for public comment a proposed rule (80 

FR 1860) to amend the regulations that 

govern seven project-based Section 8 

HAP programs administered by the 

Office of Multifamily Housing Programs: 

the HAP program for New Construction 

(24 CFR part 880) and the HAP program 

for Substantial Rehabilitation (24 CFR 

part 881), which provide rental 

assistance in connection with the 

development of newly constructed or 

substantially rehabilitated privately 

owned rental housing; the HAP Program 

for State Housing Agencies (24 CFR part 

883), which applies to newly 

constructed or substantially 

rehabilitated housing financed by State 

agencies; the HAP program for New 

Construction financed under Section 

515 of the Housing Act of 1949 (24 CFR 

part 884), which applies to U.S. 

Department of Agriculture rural rental 

housing projects; the Loan Management 

Set Aside Program (24 CFR part 886, 

subpart A), which provides rental 

subsidies to HUD-insured or HUD-held 

multifamily properties experiencing 

immediate or potential financial 

difficulties; the HAP for the Disposition 

of HUD-Owned Projects (24 CFR part 

886, subpart C), which provides Section 

8 assistance in connection with the sale 

of HUD-owned multifamily rental 

housing projects and the foreclosure of 

HUD-held mortgages on rental housing 

projects; and the Section 202/8 Program 

(24 CFR part 891, subpart E), which 

provides assistance for housing projects 

serving the elderly or households 

headed by persons with disabilities. 

For the above-described programs, 

contract administrators (CAs) conduct 

Management and Occupancy Reviews 

(MORs) to assess project performance. 

MORs evaluate management, provide 

oversight of HUD-assisted projects, and 

assure owner compliance with HAP 

contract requirements. Under existing 

regulations, the frequency of MORs 

across programs is inconsistent. For 

example, some programs require CAs to 

perform MORs at least annually, while 

others require an MOR only as 

necessary. The proposed rule sought to 

provide for consistency across 

programs. 

Existing regulations also fail to take 

into consideration project performance. 

In fact, many projects assisted under the 

above-described programs consistently 

receive high MOR scores. For example, 

in FY 2018, 90.4 percent of projects 

received a score of ‘‘Satisfactory,’’ 

‘‘Above Average,’’ or ‘‘Superior’’; the 

number of projects receiving such scores
