Proposed Revision of Class E Airspace; Togiak, AK, 7888-7890 [E6-2182]

Download as PDF 7888 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 31 / Wednesday, February 15, 2006 / Proposed Rules to request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application procedure. cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with PROPOSALS 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 Galbraith Lake, 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 Galbraith Lake, AK. The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance Branch has amended two Special SIAPs for the Galbraith Lake Airport. The approaches are the Non Directional Beacon (NDB) Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) Runway (Rwy) 12, Amendment (Amdt) 2, and the Microwave Landing System (MLS) Rwy 12, Amdt 1. New Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 700 ft above the surface within the Galbraith Lake Airport area would be established by this action. The proposed airspace is sufficient in size to contain aircraft executing instrument procedures at the Galbraith Lake 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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:04 Feb 14, 2006 Jkt 208001 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 Galbraith Lake Airport and represents the FAA’s continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace.

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 Togiak, AK. The intended effect of this proposal is to revise Class 
E airspace upward from 700 ft. above the surface to contain Instrument 
Flight Rules (IFR) operations at Togiak, AK.
    The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance 
Branch has amended two SIAPs and created two new SIAPs for the Togiak 
Airport. The amended approaches are (1) Non-Directional Beacon (NDB)/
Distance Measuring Equipment (DME)-A, Amendment (Amdt) 1; and (2) NDB-
B, Amdt 1. The new approaches are (1) Area Navigation (Global 
Positioning System) (RNAV (GPS)) RWY03, Original; and (2) RNAV (GPS) 
RWY 21, Original. This action would modify the Class E controlled 
airspace extending upward from 700 ft. above the surface near the 
Togiak Airport. The proposed airspace is sufficient in size to contain 
aircraft executing instrument procedures at the Togiak 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 Togiak Airport and 
represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use 
the navigable airspace.
