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 Cold Bay, AK. The intended effect of this proposal is to modify Class E airspace upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Cold Bay, AK. The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance Branch has developed two new SIAPs, and modified seven SIAPs for the Cold Bay Airport. The new approaches are; (1) Area Navigation (Global Positioning System) (RNAV (GPS)) Runway (RWY) 14, original; (2) RNAV (GPS) RWY 32, original.

Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface within the Cold Bay Airport area would be revised by this action. The proposed airspace is sufficient to contain aircraft executing the new and revised instrument procedures at the Cold Bay 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 PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 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.

PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 4319 Special Analysis It has been determined that this notice of proposed rulemaking is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not required. Further, it is hereby certified that these proposed regulations will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This certification is based on the fact that these regulations will primarily affect affiliated groups of corporations that have elected to file consolidated returns, which tend to be larger business. Moreover, the number of taxpayers affected and the average burden are minimal. Accordingly, a Regulatory Flexibility Analysis under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6) is not required. Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the Code, this notice of proposed rulemaking will be submitted to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration for comment on its impact on small business. Comments and Requests for a Public Hearing Before these proposed regulations are adopted as final regulations, consideration will be given to any written comments (a signed original and eight copies) that are submitted timely to the IRS. Alternatively, taxpayers may submit comments electronically via the IRS Internet site at https://www.irs.gov/ regs or via the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. The IRS and Treasury Department request comments on the clarity of the proposed rules and how they can be made easier to understand. All comments will be available for public inspection and copying. A public hearing may be scheduled if requested in writing by any person who timely submits written comments. If a public hearing is scheduled, notice of the date, time, and place of the hearing will be published in the Federal Register. Drafting Information The principal authors of these regulations are Emidio J. Forlini, Jr. and Theresa M. Kolish of the Office of Associate Chief Counsel (Corporate). Other personnel from Treasury and the IRS participated in their development. List of Subjects in 26 CFR Part 1 Income taxes, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

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 Cold Bay, AK. The intended effect of this proposal is to modify 
Class E airspace upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface to 
contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Cold Bay, AK.
    The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance 
Branch has developed two new SIAPs, and modified seven SIAPs for the 
Cold Bay Airport. The new approaches are; (1) Area Navigation (Global 
Positioning System) (RNAV (GPS)) Runway (RWY) 14, original; (2) RNAV 
(GPS) RWY 32, original. The revised approaches are; (1) RNAV (GPS) RWY 
26 Amendment (Amdt) 1; (2) Instrument Landing System (ILS) or Localizer 
(LOC)--Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) RWY 14, Amdt 17; (3) LOC-DME-
Back Course RWY 32, Amdt 8; (4) Very High Frequency Omni-directional 
Range (VOR)--DME or Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN)-A, Amdt 3; (5) VOR 
RWY 14, Amdt 14; (6) High (HI)--ILS or LOC-DME RWY 14, Amdt 2; (7) HI-
VOR-DME or TACAN RWY 14, Amdt 3. Class E controlled airspace extending 
upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface within the Cold Bay 
Airport area would be revised by this action. The proposed airspace is 
sufficient to contain aircraft executing the new and revised instrument 
procedures at the Cold Bay 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 modify the Class E airspace sufficiently to contain 
aircraft executing instrument procedures at Cold Bay Airport and 
represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use 
the navigable airspace.
