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 revise Class E airspace at
Koliganek, AK. The intended effect of
this proposal is to add Class E airspace
upward from 1,200 ft. above the surface
to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)
operations at Koliganek, AK.
The FAA Instrument Flight
Procedures Production and
Maintenance Branch has developed two
new SIAPs for the Koliganek Airport.
The new approaches are (1) Area
Navigation (Global Positioning System)
(RNAV (GPS)) Runway (RWY) 09,
original; and (2) RNAV (GPS) RWY 27,
original. Additional Class E controlled
airspace extending upward from 1,200
ft. above the surface within the
Koliganek Airport area would be created
by this action. The proposed airspace is
sufficient to contain aircraft executing
the new instrument procedures at the
Koliganek 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 7400.9N, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated September
1, 2005, and effective September 15,
2005, 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 it proposes to establish Class E
airspace sufficient to contain aircraft
executing instrument procedures at
Koliganek Airport and represents the
FAA’s continuing effort to safely and
efficiently use the navigable airspace.

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 revise Class E airspace at
Koliganek, AK. The intended effect of this proposal is to add Class E
airspace upward from 1,200 ft. above the surface to contain Instrument
Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Koliganek, AK.
The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance
Branch has developed two new SIAPs for the Koliganek Airport. The new
approaches are (1) Area Navigation (Global Positioning System) (RNAV
(GPS)) Runway (RWY) 09, original; and (2) RNAV (GPS) RWY 27, original.
Additional Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 1,200 ft.
above the surface within the Koliganek Airport area would be created by
this action. The proposed airspace is sufficient to contain aircraft
executing the new instrument procedures at the Koliganek 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
7400.9N, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated September 1,
2005, and effective September 15, 2005, 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
it proposes to establish Class E airspace sufficient to contain
aircraft executing instrument procedures at Koliganek Airport and
represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use
the navigable airspace.
