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), which
would establish new Class E airspace at
Perryville, AK. The intended effect of
this proposal is to establish Class E
airspace upward from 700 ft. and 1,200
ft. above the surface to contain
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations
at Perryville, AK.
The FAA Instrument Flight
Procedures Production and
Maintenance Branch has developed a
new SIAP and Departure Procedure for
the Perryville Airport. The new
approach is Area Navigation (Global
Positioning System) (RNAV GPS)
Runway (RWY) 3, original. The CILAC
ONE RNAV Departure will also be
established. New Class E controlled
airspace extending upward from 700 ft.
and 1,200 ft. above the surface within
the Perryville Airport area would be
created by this action. The proposed
airspace is sufficient to contain aircraft
executing the new instrument
procedures at the Perryville 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
VerDate jul<14>2003
16:09 Feb 04, 2005
Jkt 205001
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 it proposes to establish Class E
airspace sufficient to contain aircraft
executing instrument approaches at
Perryville 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 Kalskag,
AK. The intended effect of this proposal is to revise Class E airspace
upward from 700 ft. above the surface to contain Instrument Flight
Rules (IFR) operations at Kalskag, AK.
The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance
Branch has developed two new SIAP's for the Kalskag Airport. The new
approaches are (1) Area Navigation (Global Positioning System) ( RNAV
GPS) Runway (RWY) 6, original; and (2) RNAV (GPS)-A, original. A new
Textual Departure Procedure has also been developed. Revised Class E
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 ft above the surface
within the 12.1-mile radius of the Kalskag Airport would be created by
this action. The proposed airspace is sufficient to contain aircraft
executing the new instrument procedures for the Kalskag 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);
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 Kalskag Airport and represents the
FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable
airspace.
