The Proposal The FAA is considering an amendment to the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR part 71), which would create Class E airspace at Minchumina, AK. The intended effect of this proposal is to create Class E airspace upward from 700 ft. above the surface to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Minchumina, AK. The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance Branch has developed two new SIAPs and revised one SIAP for the Minchumina Airport. The new approaches are; (1) Area Navigation (Global Positioning System) (RNAV (GPS)) Runway (RWY) 03, original; (2) RNAV (GPS) RWY 21, original. The revised SIAP is the Non-directional Beacon (NDB) RWY 03, amendment 3. New Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 700 ft. above the surface within the Minchumina Airport area would be established by this action. E:\FR\FM\24JAP1.SGM 24JAP1 rmajette on PROD1PC67 with PROPOSALS Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 15 / Tuesday, January 24, 2006 / Proposed Rules The proposed airspace is sufficient to contain aircraft executing the new and revised instrument procedures at the Minchumina 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 create Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain aircraft executing instrument procedures at Minchumina 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.

If EPA receives adverse comments, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.

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 create Class E airspace at 
Minchumina, AK. The intended effect of this proposal is to create Class 
E airspace upward from 700 ft. above the surface to contain Instrument 
Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Minchumina, AK.
    The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance 
Branch has developed two new SIAPs and revised one SIAP for the 
Minchumina Airport. The new approaches are; (1) Area Navigation (Global 
Positioning System) (RNAV (GPS)) Runway (RWY) 03, original; (2) RNAV 
(GPS) RWY 21, original. The revised SIAP is the Non-directional Beacon 
(NDB) RWY 03, amendment 3. New Class E controlled airspace extending 
upward from 700 ft. above the surface within the Minchumina Airport 
area would be established by this action.

[[Page 3795]]

The proposed airspace is sufficient to contain aircraft executing the 
new and revised instrument procedures at the Minchumina 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 create Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain 
aircraft executing instrument procedures at Minchumina Airport and 
represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use 
the navigable airspace.
