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
the 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 updates the information in the Daytona Beach, FL Class
C airspace description.
History
During a review of the Daytona Beach, FL Class C airspace
description, the FAA identified the need to update the name and ARP
geographic coordinates for the Daytona Beach Regional Airport, and to
update the text header format for the Daytona Beach Class C airspace
description as published in FAA Order JO 7400.11G.
Incorporation by Reference
Class C airspace areas are published in paragraph 4000 of FAA Order
JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. 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 action amends 14 CFR part 71 by updating the Daytona Beach, FL
Class C airspace description as published in FAA Order JO 7400.11G,
Airspace Designations and Reporting Points. The name ``Daytona Beach
Regional Airport'' is changed to ``Daytona Beach International
Airport'' to match the Airport Master Record database. The ARP
geographic coordinates are updated from ``lat. 29[deg]10'52'' N, long.
81[deg]03'21'' W'' to ``lat. 29[deg]10'48'' N, long. 81[deg]03'29'' W''
which matches the FAA's NASR database information. Additionally, the
airport name is moved from the first line in the text header of the
description to the second line. These changes align with the current
formatting standard. In the body of the Class C description, the name
``Daytona Beach Regional Airport'' is changed to ``Daytona Beach
International Airport.''
This action consists of administrative changes only and does not
affect the boundaries, altitudes, or operating requirements of the
airspace. 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
Department of Transportation (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 of amending the Daytona
Beach, FL Class C airspace description to update the airport name, and
geographic coordinates of the airport reference point (ARP) to match
the FAA's NASR database information, qualifies for
[[Page 42870]]
categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR part
1500, and in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts:
Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5-6.5a, which categorically excludes
from further environmental impact review rulemaking actions that
designate or modify classes of airspace areas, airways, routes, and
reporting points (see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of Class A, B, C, D,
and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes; and Reporting
Points). As such, this action is not expected to result in any
potentially significant environmental impacts. In accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, the
FAA has reviewed this action for factors and circumstances in which a
normally categorically excluded action may have a significant
environmental impact requiring further analysis. Accordingly, the FAA
has determined that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant
preparation of an environmental assessment or environmental impact
study.
