14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2021-0169; Airspace Docket No. 21-ASO-3]
RIN 2120-AA66


Amendment Class D and Class E Airspace; South Florida; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is correcting a 
final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on September 8, 2021, 
amending airspace for several airports in the south Florida area. This 
action corrects the dividing line between Pompano Beach Airpark and 
Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, by updating the geographic 
coordinates that define the line. Controlled airspace is necessary for 
the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations 
in the area.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, November 3, 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.

Group, Eastern Service Center, Federal Aviation Administration, 1701

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register for Docket 
No. FAA

[[Page 61238]]

2021-0169 (86 FR 50245, September 8, 2021), amending Class D and Class 
E airspace for eight airports in the south Florida area. Subsequent to 
publication, the FAA found that the dividing line between Pompano Beach 
Airpark and Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport had moved due to the 
geographic coordinates of these airports being updated. This action 
corrects this error by amending the dividing line to mirror the 
previous line. Also, the effective date to amend Class D and Class E 
airspace for North Perry Airport, Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport, 
Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, Pompano Beach Airpark, and Boca 
Raton Airport was updated three times so as to coincide with the Class 
B and Class C actions, which were also delayed.

Good Cause for No Notice and Comment

    Section 553(b) (3) (B) of Title 5, United States Code, (the 
Administrative Procedure Act) authorizes agencies to dispense with 
notice and comment procedures for rules when the agency for ``good 
cause'' finds that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, 
or contrary to the public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, 
upon finding good cause, may issue a final rule without seeking comment 
prior to the rulemaking. The FAA finds that prior notice and public 
comment to this final rule is unnecessary due to the fact that there is 
no substantive change to the rule.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace Designations 
and Reporting Points, dated August 19, 2022, and became effective 
September 15, 2022. FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available as 
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11G 
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic routes, and 
reporting points.

Correction to Final Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by correcting the dividing line between Pompano Beach Airpark 
and Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport in the final rule of Amendment 
Class D and Class E Airspace; South Florida.

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. 
Therefore, this regulation: (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.
