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
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 amends the Class D airspace, the Class E airspace area designated
as an extension to a Class D surface area, and the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Waynesville-St.
Robert Regional Airport Forney Field, Fort Leonard Wood, MO, to support
instrument flight rule operations at this airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (86 FR 44674; August 13, 2021) for Docket No. FAA-2021-0634 to
amend the Class D and Class E airspace at Waynesville-St. Robert
Regional Airport Forney Field, Fort Leonard Wood, MO. Interested
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments
were received.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in paragraph
5000, 6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order JO 7400.11F, dated
August 10, 2021, and effective September 15, 2021, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and E airspace
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in
FAA Order JO 7400.11.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September
15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F 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:
    Amends the Class D airspace at Waynesville-St. Robert Regional
Airport Forney Field, Fort Leonard Wood, MO, by updating the name
(previously Waynesville Regional Airport at Forney Field) of the
airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database; and replaces
the outdated term of ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with ``Chart
Supplement'';
    Amends the Class E airspace area designated as an extension to a
Class D surface area at Waynesville-St. Robert Regional Airport Forney
Field by removing the Buckhorn NDB and associated extensions from the
airspace legal description as they are no longer needed; removes the
exclusionary language as it is no longer needed; updates the name
(previously Waynesville Regional Airport at Forney Field) of the
airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database; and replaces
the outdated term of ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with ``Chart
Supplement'';
    And amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the at Waynesville-St. Robert Regional Airport Forney Field by
removing the Buckhorn NDB and associated extensions from the airspace
legal description as they are no longer needed; and updates the name
(previously Waynesville Regional Airport at Forney Field) of the
airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    This action is necessary due to an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Maples VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures this airport, as part of the
VOR MON Program.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

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, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. 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 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.

[Project No. 14640-000]

South Maui Pumped Storage, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On October 20, 2014, South Maui Pumped Storage, LLC, filed an
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the
South Maui Pumped Storage Project (South Maui Project or project) to be
located on the Pacific Ocean, in unincorporated Maui County, Hawaii.
The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the
permit holder priority to file a license application during the permit
term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder to
perform any land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or
waters owned by others without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would consist of the following new features:
(1) Four 400-foot-long, 200-foot-wide, 50-foot-high oval concrete
storage tanks; (2) a 12,000-foot-long, 4.5-foot-diameter buried steel
penstock; (3) a 150-foot-long, 68-foot-wide concrete powerhouse; (4)
two 15 megawatt (MW) Pelton turbine/generators; (5) three 10 MW multi-
stage variable speed pumps; (6) an approximately 400-foot-wide, 450-
foot-long tailrace/forebay; \1\ (7) a 12,000-foot-long, 4.5-foot-
diameter buried steel supply pipeline; (8) two 28-kilovolt transmission
lines totaling 8,000 feet long, interconnecting with the existing
Sempra Gas and Power-owned Auwahi wind turbine transmission line; (9) a
5.6-mile-long paved access road; and (10) appurtenant facilities. The
estimated annual generation of the South Maui Project would be 5.2
gigawatt-hours.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The tailrace/forebay would be a small constructed inlet from
the Pacific Ocean. Flows from the turbines would discharge into the
tailrace/forebay. Return flows for filling of the storage tanks
would be pumped from the tailrace/forebay.
