Revision of Class E Airspace; Holy Cross, AK, 3761-3762 [06-592]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 15 / Tuesday, January 24, 2006 / Rules and Regulations rmajette on PROD1PC67 with RULES airspace surrounded by Class E airspace is being converted to Class E airspace. The airspace is thus simplified in this area, reducing possible confusion. The NPRM also simply listed this action taking place at Koyuk Airport. The more correct designation is Koyuk Alfred Adams and updates in this rule have been made accordingly. 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 700/1,200 ft. transition areas are published in paragraph 6005 of 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 designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order. The Rule This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies Class E airspace at Koyuk, Alaska. This Class E airspace is modified to accommodate aircraft executing one new SIAP, and two revised SIAPs and will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. The intended effect of this rule is to provide adequate controlled airspace for Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations at Koyuk Alfred Adams Airport, Koyuk, 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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:40 Jan 23, 2006 Jkt 208001 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 procedures for the Koyuk Alfred Adams Airport and represents the FAA’s continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace. 3761 of the Koyuk NDB 210° bearing extending from the NDB to 30 miles southwest of the NDB and 4.5 miles either side of the line between the Norton Bay NDB and the Koyuk NDB, and the area within 20 miles of the Koyuk Airport extending clockwise from the Koyuk NDB 140° bearing to the 187° bearing, and the area within 25 miles of the Koyuk Airport extending clockwise from the Koyuk NDB 220° bearing to the 230° bearing. * * * * * Issued in Anchorage, AK, on January 13, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Thursday, November 17, 2005, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 
of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify Class E 
airspace upward from 700 ft. above the surface at Holy Cross, AK (70 FR 
69710). The action was proposed in order to create Class E airspace 
sufficient in size to contain aircraft while executing two new SIAPs 
and one revised DP for the Holy Cross Airport. The new

[[Page 3762]]

approaches are the 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. Class E controlled airspace extending upward 
from 700 ft. above the surface in the Holy Cross Airport area is 
modified 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 700/1,200 
ft. transition areas are published in paragraph 6005 of 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 designation listed in 
this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies Class E airspace at Holy 
Cross, Alaska. This Class E airspace is modified to accommodate 
aircraft executing two new SIAPs, and one revised DP and will be 
depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. The intended 
effect of this rule is to provide adequate controlled airspace for 
Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) operations at Holy Cross Airport, Holy 
Cross, 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 procedures for the Holy Cross Airport and 
represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use 
the navigable airspace.
