Proposed Establishment of Class E Airspace; Chignik, AK, 69711-69713 [05-22773]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 221 / Thursday, November 17, 2005 / Proposed Rules request to the Federal Aviation 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 revise the Class E airspace at Holy Cross, AK. The intended effect of this proposal is to modify Class E airspace upward from 700 ft. above the surface to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Holy Cross, AK. The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance Branch has developed two new SIAPs and revised the DP for the Holy Cross Airport. The new approaches are: (1) Area Navigation (Global Positioning System) (RNAV (GPS)) Runway (RWY) 01, original; (2) RNAV (GPS) RWY 19, original. The unnamed revised DP is published in the front of the U.S. Terminal Procedures Alaska Vol 1. Modified Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 700 ft. above the surface within the Holy Cross Airport area would be established by this action. The proposed airspace is sufficient to contain aircraft executing the new instrument procedures at the Holy Cross 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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:59 Nov 16, 2005 Jkt 208001 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 modify the Class E airspace sufficiently to contain aircraft executing instrument procedures at Holy Cross Airport and represents the FAA’s continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace.

The Proposed Amendment In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows: PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, CLASS B, CLASS C, CLASS D, AND CLASS E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIRWAYS; ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS 1.

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 create new Class E airspace 
at Chignik, AK. The intended effect of this proposal is to create Class 
E airspace upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface to 
contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Chignik, AK.
    The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance 
Branch has developed a new SIAP for the Chignik Airport. The new 
approach is the Area Navigation Global Positioning System Runway RWY 
01, original. New Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 700 
ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface within the Chignik Airport area 
would be established by this action. The proposed airspace is 
sufficient in size to contain aircraft executing the new instrument 
procedure at the Chignik Airport. Airspace from 1,200 ft. AGL and more 
than 12 Nautical Miles (NM) from the shoreline will be excluded from 
this action. That controlled airspace outside 12 NM from the shoreline 
within 72.8 NM of the airport will be created in coordination with HQ 
FAA ATA-400 by modifying existing Offshore Airspace Areas; Woody Island 
Low Control Area and Control Area 1234L, in accordance with FAA Order 
7400.2.
    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 create Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain 
aircraft executing a new instrument procedure at Chignik Airport and 
represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use 
the navigable airspace.
