Internet address: https://www.alaska.faa.gov/at. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History On Monday, December 18, 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 Red Dog, AK (71 FR 75686). The action was proposed in order to create Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain aircraft while executing two new SIAPs, and one new DP for the Red Dog Airport. The new Special approaches are (1) The RNAV RNP Runway (RWY) 05, and (2) PO 00000 Frm 00050 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 the RNAV RNP RWY 20. The Special DP is the IHOPO ONE RNAV RNP Departure. Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface in the Red Dog Airport area is revised by this action. Interested parties were invited to participate in this proposed rulemaking by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No 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 Red Dog Airport, Alaska. This Class E airspace is revised to accommodate aircraft executing two new Special SIAPs, and one new Special DP, 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 the Red Dog airport, Red Dog, 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, E:\FR\FM\15MRR1.SGM 15MRR1 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 50 / Thursday, March 15, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 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 Red Dog Airport and represents the FAA’s continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace. 163°00′00″ W., and within 5 miles either side of a line from the Noatak NDB/DME, AK, to lat. 67°50′20″ N., long. 163°19′16″ W., and within a 5-mile radius of lat. 67°50′20″ N., long. 163°19′16″ W.

Therefore, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary. Section 73.66 of Title 14 CFR part 73 was republished in FAA Order 7400.8N, dated February 16, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On Monday, December 18, 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 Red 
Dog, AK (71 FR 75686). The action was proposed in order to create Class 
E airspace sufficient in size to contain aircraft while executing two 
new SIAPs, and one new DP for the Red Dog Airport. The new Special 
approaches are (1) The RNAV RNP Runway (RWY) 05, and (2) the RNAV RNP 
RWY 20. The Special DP is the IHOPO ONE RNAV RNP Departure. Class E 
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above 
the surface in the Red Dog Airport area is revised by this action.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this proposed 
rulemaking by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
No 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 
Red Dog Airport, Alaska. This Class E airspace is revised to 
accommodate aircraft executing two new Special SIAPs, and one new 
Special DP, 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 the 
Red Dog airport, Red Dog, 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,

[[Page 12081]]

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 Red Dog Airport and represents 
the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable 
airspace.
