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 update is administrative change and does not
change the airspace boundaries or operating requirements.
Incorporation by Reference
Class D airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000 of
FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 annually. This document amends
the current version of that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11G, dated August
19, 2022, and effective September 15, 2022. FAA Order JO 7400.11G is
publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document.
These amendments will be published in the next update to FAA Order JO
7400.11. FAA Order JO 7400.11G 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 Class D airspace for Cape
Cod Gateway Airport, Hyannis, MA, by updating the airport name
(formerly Barnstable Municipal Airport-Boardman/Polando Field) and
geographic coordinates to coincide with the FAA's database. In
addition, this action makes the editorial changes replacing the term
Notice to Airmen with Notice to Air Missions and replacing the term
Airport/Facility Directory with Chart Supplement. This action is an
administrative change and does not affect the airspace boundaries or
operating requirements; therefore, notice and public procedure under 5
U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary.
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 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
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.
