11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Distribution System, which describes
the application procedure.
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

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.

11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Distribution System, which describes
the application procedure.
The Proposal
This notice proposed to amend part
71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
(14 CFR part 71) to establish Class E
airspace designated as a surface area for
an airport at Ames, IA. Controlled
airspace extending upward from the
surface of the earth is needed to contain
aircraft executing approach procedures
to Ames Municipal Airport. Weather
observations would be provided by an
Automatic Surface Observing System
(ASOS) and communications would be
direct with Des Moines Terminal Radar
Approach Control Facility.
This notice also proposes to revise the
Class E airspace area extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface at Ames,
IA. An examination of this Class E
airspace area for Ames, IA revealed its
extensions are unnecessary and do not
comply with FAA airspace directives
This proposal would correct these
discrepancies by eliminating the
extensions, defining airspace of
appropriate dimensions to protect
aircraft departing and executing
instrument approach procedures to
Ames Municipal Airport and bringing
the airspace area into compliance with
FAA directives. Both areas would be
depicted on appropriate aeronautical
charts.
Class E airspace areas designated as
surface areas are published in Paragraph
6002 of FAA Order 7400.9M, dated
August 30, 2004, and effective
September 16, 2004, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. Class E airspace areas extending
upward from 700 feet or more above the
surface of the earth are published in
Paragraph 6005 of the same Order. 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

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.
This proposed 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 proposed regulation is
within the scope of that authority since
it would contain aircraft executing
instrument approach procedures to

Class E airspace areas designated as surface areas are published in

The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves

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
