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.

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.
