There is one exception. The Class E2
surface area at Shemya, AK is no longer
necessary and the docket #06–AAL–29

will be no change to controlled airspace
along the Aleutian Chain, except for the
revocation of the Shemya Class E
surface area. The controlled airspace
descriptions will be listed in paragraph

revocation of Class E airspace
descriptions for these airfields located
in FAA Order 7400.0P.

Register approves this incorporation by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Tuesday, November 28, 2006, the
FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR
part 71) to revoke Class E airspace
located west of Longitude 160° W, along
the Aleutian Chain, AK (71 FR 68772).
The action was proposed in order to
correctly locate these controlled
airspace descriptions listed in FAA
Order 7400.9P and to remove
unnecessary controlled airspace no
longer needed. Any airspace along the
Aleutian Island Chain 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
airspace around King Cove, AK was
inadvertently left out of the Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). There is
no reason to continue the public
comment period because the NPRM
clearly described the intent to relocate
any controlled airspace west of 160°
West Longitude. The controlled airspace
description associated with King Cove,
AK will be revoked and located the
Control 1234L Offshore Airspace
description. The Offshore Airspace
action associated with this rule is taking
place concurrently in a separate
airspace rule (06–AAL–29).

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
surface areas are published in paragraph
6002 and 6004 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 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
revokes Class E2 and E5 airspace along
the Aleutian Chain, Alaska to the west
of 160° West Longitude. This Class E
controlled airspace is revoked to allow
it to be correctly listed in the Offshore
Airspace description located in FAA
Order 7400.9P. The intended effect of
this rule is to allow the controlled
airspace descriptions to be correctly
located in FAA Order 7400.9P.
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.

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 allows this controlled
airspace to be located in the appropriate
section of FAA 7400.9P and represents
the FAA’s continuing effort to safely
and efficiently use the navigable
airspace.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Tuesday, November 28, 2006, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revoke Class E
airspace located west of Longitude 160[deg] W, along the Aleutian
Chain, AK (71 FR 68772). The action was proposed in order to correctly
locate these controlled airspace descriptions listed in FAA Order
7400.9P and to remove unnecessary controlled airspace no longer needed.
Any airspace along the Aleutian Island Chain to the west of 160[deg]
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 airspace around King Cove, AK was inadvertently left out
of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). There is no reason to
continue the public comment period because the NPRM clearly described
the intent to relocate any controlled airspace west of 160[deg] West
Longitude. The controlled airspace description associated with King
Cove, AK will be revoked and located the Control 1234L Offshore
Airspace description. The Offshore Airspace action associated with this
rule is taking place concurrently in a separate airspace rule (06-AAL-
29).
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 surface
areas are published in paragraph 6002 and 6004 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 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 revokes Class E2 and E5 airspace
along the Aleutian Chain, Alaska to the west of 160[deg] West
Longitude. This Class E controlled airspace is revoked to allow it to
be correctly listed in the Offshore Airspace description located in FAA

The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
