Authority for This Rulemaking

History

The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (89 FR 24367, April 8, 2024) for Doc. No. FAA-2023-2275, updating the Class D and Class E airspace for Greenbrier Valley Airport, Lewisburg, WV. In the Class D descriptor, the ceiling was inadvertently changed to 4,000 feet. The ceiling should be 4,800 feet. This action corrects this error.

Correction to Final Rule

This action amends (14 CFR) part 71 by correcting the Class D airspace descriptor for Greenbrier Valley Airport, Lewisburg, WV, by replacing the ceiling from 4,000 feet to 4,800 feet.

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 exist that warrant the preparation of an environmental assessment.
