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.
[[Page 23437]]
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 regulation is within the scope
of that authority as it would amend Class D airspace in Jupiter, FL for
the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations
in the area.
History
The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA-2025-0107 in the Federal Register (90 FR 13571; March 25, 2025),
proposing to amend Class D in Jupiter, FL. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA. One comment was received, which
was substantively unrelated to the airspace action. No response is
provided.
Incorporation by Reference
Class D airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000 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
7400.11J, dated July 31, 2024, and effective September 15, 2024. These
amendments will be published in the next update to FAA Order JO
7400.11. FAA Order JO 7400.11J is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document.
FAA Order JO 7400.11J 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 modifies Class D airspace
extending upward from the surface to and including 2,500 feet MSL
within a 4.5-mile radius of William P. Gwinn Airport in Jupiter, FL,
beginning at the 205[deg] bearing from the airport clockwise to the
145[deg] bearing, thence to the beginning point. Controlled airspace is
necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations in the area.
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 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant the preparation of an
environmental assessment.
