SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with RULES SUMMARY: History On Thursday, October 5, 2006, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise Class E airspace upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface at Hooper Bay, AK (71 FR 58765). The action was proposed in order to create Class E airspace VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:56 Dec 18, 2006 Jkt 211001 sufficient in size to contain aircraft while executing two new SIAPs for the Hooper Bay Airport. The new approaches are (1) Area Navigation (Global Positioning System) (RNAV (GPS)) Runway (RWY) 05, Original and (2) RNAV (GPS) RWY 23, Original. Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface in the Hooper Bay Airport area is revised by this action. Some of the necessary controlled airspace lies over an area more than 12 miles offshore, and is designated as Offshore Airspace Area, Norton Sound Low. That Offshore Airspace action will be addressed in a separate pending rulemaking case. 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 7400.9P, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated September 1, 2006, and effective September 15, 2006, 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 revises Class E airspace at the Hooper Bay Airport, Alaska. This Class E airspace is revised to accommodate aircraft executing two new SIAPs, and will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. The intended effect of this rule is to provide adequate controlled airspace for IFR operations at the Hooper Bay Airport, Hooper Bay, 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 is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule will not have PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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 Hooper Bay Airport and represents the FAA’s continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace.

The new approach is the Area Navigation (Global Positioning System) (RNAV (GPS)) Runway (RWY) 02, Original. The SID is the CILAC TWO departure. Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface in the Perryville Airport area is revised by this action. There is an issue with charting domestic controlled airspace near Perryville, Alaska. Any airspace to the West of 160° West Longitude must be defined in the Offshore Airspace Area named Control 1234L, even if the airspace is within 12 miles of the shoreline. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking mentioned this issue, but did not explain that this is a charting issue and does not impact controlled airspace. Any of the controlled airspace necessary for service at Perryville Airport which lies to the west of 160° W. Longitude must be described in the Offshore definition for Control 1234L. Domestic airspace east of 160° W. Longitude extends to 12 miles from the shoreline. The airspace definition delineation between Offshore and domestic controlled airspace is not necessary because the 12-mile limit line is shown on aeronautical charts. To address the delineation in the controlled airspace description would be redundant. The Offshore Airspace action associated with this rule is taking place concurrently in a separate airspace rule. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On Thursday, October 5, 2006, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of 
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise Class E 
airspace upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface at Hooper 
Bay, AK (71 FR 58765). The action was proposed in order to create Class 
E airspace sufficient in size to contain aircraft while executing two 
new SIAPs for the Hooper Bay Airport. The new approaches are (1) Area 
Navigation (Global Positioning System) (RNAV (GPS)) Runway (RWY) 05, 
Original and (2) RNAV (GPS) RWY 23, Original. Class E controlled 
airspace extending upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface 
in the Hooper Bay Airport area is revised by this action. Some of the 
necessary controlled airspace lies over an area more than 12 miles 
offshore, and is designated as Offshore Airspace Area, Norton Sound 
Low. That Offshore Airspace action will be addressed in a separate 
pending rulemaking case.
    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 
7400.9P, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated September 1, 
2006, and effective September 15, 2006, 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 revises Class E airspace at the 
Hooper Bay Airport, Alaska. This Class E airspace is revised to 
accommodate aircraft executing two new SIAPs, and will be depicted on 
aeronautical charts for pilot reference. The intended effect of this 
rule is to provide adequate controlled airspace for IFR operations at 
the Hooper Bay Airport, Hooper Bay, 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 is 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 Hooper Bay Airport and 
represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use 
the navigable airspace.
