The Proposal The FAA is considering an amendment to the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR part 71), by adding Class E airspace at Point Lay, AK. The intended effect of this proposal is to revise Class E airspace upward from 1,200 ft. above the surface to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Point Lay, AK. The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance Branch has developed three new SIAPs for the Point Lay Airport. The new approaches are (1) Area Navigation (Global Positioning System) (RNAV GPS) Runway (RWY) 5, original; (2) RNAV (GPS) RWY 23, original; and (3) Non-directional Beacon (NDB) RWY 5, original. Revised Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 1,200 ft above the surface within the 46-mile radius of the Point Lay Airport would be created by this action. The proposed airspace is sufficient to contain aircraft executing the new instrument procedures for the Point Lay Airport. The area would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American Datum 83. The Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1200 foot transition areas are VerDate jul<14>2003 14:41 Jan 06, 2005 Jkt 205001 published in paragraph 6005 in FAA Order 7400.9M, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 30, 2004, and effective September 16, 2004, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document would be published subsequently in the Order. The FAA has determined that this proposed 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 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. The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle 1, 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 1, section 40103, Sovereignty and use of airspace. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to ensure the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because in proposes to revise Class E airspace sufficient to contain aircraft executing instrument approaches at Point Lay Airport and represents the FAA’s continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to the Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR part 71), by adding Class E airspace at Point Lay, 
AK. The intended effect of this proposal is to revise Class E airspace 
upward from 1,200 ft. above the surface to contain Instrument Flight 
Rules (IFR) operations at Point Lay, AK.
    The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance 
Branch has developed three new SIAPs for the Point Lay Airport. The new 
approaches are (1) Area Navigation (Global Positioning System) ( RNAV 
GPS) Runway (RWY) 5, original; (2) RNAV (GPS) RWY 23, original; and (3) 
Non-directional Beacon (NDB) RWY 5, original. Revised Class E 
controlled airspace extending upward from 1,200 ft above the surface 
within the 46-mile radius of the Point Lay Airport would be created by 
this action. The proposed airspace is sufficient to contain aircraft 
executing the new instrument procedures for the Point Lay Airport.
    The area would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot 
reference. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. The Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1200 
foot transition areas are published in paragraph 6005 in FAA Order 
7400.9M, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 30, 
2004, and effective September 16, 2004, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in 
this document would be published subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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);

will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
