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]

4.1-mile radius of Middle Georgia Regional Airport. This Class E

established in advance by a Notice to Air Missions. The effective
