The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American Datum 83.

Additional Class E airspace is being created to accommodate aircraft executing three new SIAPs and will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Thursday, December 30, 2004, the FAA proposed to revise part 71 
of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to add to the 
Class E airspace upward from 700 ft. above the surface at Ketchikan, AK 
(69 FR 78370). The action was proposed in order to add Class E airspace 
sufficient in size to contain aircraft while executing Special 
Instrument Approach Procedures for the Ketchikan Airport. The reference 
to Clam Cove Non-directional Beacon (NDB) in the Proposed Rule is 
deleted in the Final Rule, since the airspace description is no longer 
based on Clam Cove. Additional Class E controlled airspace is 
established by this action. Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written 
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No public comments have been 
received, thus, the rule is adopted as proposed.
    The area will 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 of 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 designation listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This revision to 14 CFR part 71 revises Class E airspace at 
Ketchikan, Alaska. Additional Class E airspace is being created to 
accommodate aircraft executing Special Instrument Approach Procedures 
and will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. The 
intended effect of this rule is to provide adequate controlled airspace 
for IFR operations at Ketchikan Airport, Ketchikan, Alaska.
    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 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 a routine matter that will 
only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified 
that this rule 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 creates Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain aircraft 
executing Instrument Approach Procedures for the Ketchikan Airport and 
represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use 
the navigable airspace.
