Proposed Amendment to Class E Airspace; Wenatchee, WA, 20092-20093 [05-7620]

Download as PDF 20092 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 73 / Monday, April 18, 2005 / Proposed Rules Administration, Office of Air Traffic Airspace Management, ATA–400, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591 or by calling (202) 267–8783. Communications must identify both docket numbers for this notice. Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future NPRM’s should contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, (202) 267–9677, to request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 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 Kiana, 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 Kiana, AK. The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance Branch has developed two new SIAPs and one departure procedure for the Kiana Airport. The new approaches are (1) Area Navigation (Global Positioning System) (RNAV GPS) Runway (RWY) 6, original and (2) RNAV GPS RWY 24, original. The new departure procedure is the Selawik ONE. New Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface within the Kiana Airport area would be created by this action. The proposed airspace is sufficient to contain aircraft executing the new instrument procedures at the Kiana 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 VerDate jul<14>2003 16:08 Apr 15, 2005 Jkt 205001 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 the new instrument approaches at Kiana Airport and represents the FAA’s continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace.

The Proposal

    This action would amend Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations, part 
71 (14 CFR part 71) by revising Class E airspace at Wenatchee, WA. The 
establishment of a new Standard ILS SIAP requires additional Class E 
controlled. Additional Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet 
or more above the surface of the earth is necessary for the safety of 
IFR aircraft executing the new Standard ILS SIAP at Wenatchee/Pangborn 
Memorial Airport, Wenatchee, WA. Controlled airspace is necessary where 
there is a requirement for IFR services, which include arrival, 
departure, and transitioning to/from the terminal or en route 
environment.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of 
FAA Order 7400.9M 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 this 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. 
Therefore, this proposed regulation; (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 proposed rule would not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
