Internet address: https://www.alaska.faa.gov/at. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: History On Friday, March 16, 2007, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise Class E airspace upward from the surface, from 700 ft. above the surface and from 1,200 ft. above the surface at Kodiak, AK (72 FR 12578). The action was proposed in order to create Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain aircraft while executing SIAPs for the Kodiak Airport. Class E controlled airspace extending upward from the surface, from 700 ft. above the surface and from 1,200 ft. above the surface, in the Kodiak Airport area is revised by this action. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. One comment was received. However, the comment was unrelated to any aeronautical issues related to this action. 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 extensions to Class D airspace areas are published in paragraph 6004 of FAA Order 7400.9P, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated September 1, 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 designations 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 Kodiak Airport, Alaska. This Class E airspace is revised to accommodate aircraft executing amended DPs and 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 Kodiak Airport, Kodiak, Alaska. PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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 Kodiak Airport and represents the FAA’s continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On Friday, March 16, 2007, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise Class E 
airspace upward from the surface, from 700 ft. above the surface and 
from 1,200 ft. above the surface at Kodiak, AK (72 FR 12578). The 
action was proposed in order to create Class E airspace sufficient in 
size to contain aircraft while executing SIAPs for the Kodiak Airport. 
Class E controlled airspace extending upward from the surface, from 700 
ft. above the surface and from 1,200 ft. above the surface, in the 
Kodiak Airport area is revised by this action.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. 
One comment was received. However, the comment was unrelated to any 
aeronautical issues related to this action. 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 extensions 
to Class D airspace areas are published in paragraph 6004 of FAA Order 
7400.9P, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated September 1, 
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 designations 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 
Kodiak Airport, Alaska. This Class E airspace is revised to accommodate 
aircraft executing amended DPs and 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 Kodiak Airport, Kodiak, 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 Kodiak Airport and represents 
the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable 
airspace.
