SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EFFECTIVE DATE: rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with RULES FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: History On Tuesday, January 31, 2006, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise Class E airspace extending upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface at St. Paul Island, AK (71 FR 5025). The action was proposed in order to create Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain aircraft while executing one new SIAP, and five revised SIAPs for the St. Paul Island Airport. The new approach is the Area Navigation (Global Positioning System) (RNAV (GPS)) Runway (RWY) 36, original. The five revised SIAPs are (1) RNAV (GPS) RWY 18, Amendment (Amdt) 1; (2) Non-directional Beacon (NDB)–A, Amdt 1; (3) NDB/Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) RWY 18, Amdt 3; (4) Localizer (LOC)/DME Back Course RWY 18, Amdt 3; (5) Instrument Landing System (ILS) or LOC/DME RWY 36, Amdt 2. Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft above the surface in the St. Paul Island Airport area is created by this action. A corresponding airspace change to Offshore Airspace Area 1234L is also being coordinated with the FAA’s Office of System Operations Airspace to address the airspace outside the 12-mile limit. 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 Rule This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies Class E airspace at St. Paul VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:22 Apr 04, 2006 Jkt 208001 Island, Alaska. This Class E airspace will accommodate aircraft executing one new SIAP, and five 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 St. Paul Island Airport, St. Paul, 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 St. Paul Island Airport and represents the FAA’s continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace. 16995 PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, CLASS B, CLASS C, CLASS D, AND CLASS E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIRWAYS; ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS 1.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Tuesday, January 31, 2006, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of 
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise Class E 
airspace extending upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface 
at St. Paul Island, AK (71 FR 5025). The action was proposed in order 
to create Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain aircraft while 
executing one new SIAP, and five revised SIAPs for the St. Paul Island 
Airport. The new approach is the Area Navigation (Global Positioning 
System) (RNAV (GPS)) Runway (RWY) 36, original. The five revised SIAPs 
are (1) RNAV (GPS) RWY 18, Amendment (Amdt) 1; (2) Non-directional 
Beacon (NDB)-A, Amdt 1; (3) NDB/Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) RWY 
18, Amdt 3; (4) Localizer (LOC)/DME Back Course RWY 18, Amdt 3; (5) 
Instrument Landing System (ILS) or LOC/DME RWY 36, Amdt 2. Class E 
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft above 
the surface in the St. Paul Island Airport area is created by this 
action. A corresponding airspace change to Offshore Airspace Area 1234L 
is also being coordinated with the FAA's Office of System Operations 
Airspace to address the airspace outside the 12-mile limit. 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 St. 
Paul Island, Alaska. This Class E airspace will accommodate aircraft 
executing one new SIAP, and five 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 St. Paul Island Airport, St. Paul, 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 St. Paul Island Airport and 
represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use 
the navigable airspace.
