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°10'52? N, long. 81°03'21? W" to "lat. 29°10'48? N, long. 81°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.
