SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

History

    The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (88 FR 
18392, March 29, 2023) for Doc. No. FAA-2022-1614, amending Class D 
airspace, Class E surface airspace, and Class E airspace extending 
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Middle Georgia Regional 
Airport, Macon, GA. The legal description for Class E surface airspace 
inadvertently referenced Class D airspace. This action corrects this 
error.
    Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in 
Paragraphs 5000, 6002, and 6005 of FAA Order JO 7400.11G dated August 
19, 2022, and effective September 15, 2022, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and E airspace designations 
listed in this document will subsequently be published in FAA Order JO 
7400.11G.

Correction to Final Rule

    This action amends (14 CFR) part 71 by replacing the reference to 
the Class D airspace in the Class E surface airspace description at 
Middle Georgia Regional Airport with reference to Class E airspace.

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 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 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to 
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no 
extraordinary circumstances warrant the preparation of an environmental 
assessment.

Correction to the Final Rule

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the 
amendment of Class E surface airspace for Middle Georgia Regional 
Airport, Macon, GA, in Docket No. FAA-2022-1614, as published in the 
Federal Register of March 29, 2023 (88 FR 18392), FR Doc. 2023-06324, 
in 14 CFR part 71, is corrected as follows:

Sec.  71.1  [Corrected]

1. On page 18393, in the first column, correct the description for ASO 
GA E2 Macon, GA [Amended] to read:

    That airspace extending upward from the surface within a 4.9-
mile radius of Middle Georgia Regional Airport, excluding the 
portion within the 5.5-mile radius of Robins AFB Airport that lies 
south of a line connecting the two points of intersection of the 
5.5-mile radius circle centered on the Robins AFB Airport and the 
4.1-mile radius of Middle Georgia Regional Airport. This Class E 
airspace area is effective during the specific dates and times 
established in advance by a Notice to Air Missions. The effective 
date and time will thereafter be continuously published in the Chart
