Approval of Implementation Plans of Illinois: Clean Air Interstate Rule, 58570-58571 [E7-20144]

Download as PDF 58570 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 199 / Tuesday, October 16, 2007 / Proposed Rules ebenthall on PROD1PC69 with PROPOSALS Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application procedure. The Proposal The FAA is considering an amendment to the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR Part 71), which would revise the Class E airspace at the McGrath Airport, in McGrath, AK. The intended effect of this proposal is to revise Class E airspace upward, from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface, to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at McGrath Airport, AK. The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance Branch has amended five SIAPs and a DP, and developed one new SIAP for the McGrath Airport. The amended approaches are (1) the High Very High Frequency Omni-directional Range (VOR)/Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) or Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) Runway (RWY) 16, Amendment (Amdt) 1, (2) the VOR/ DME or TACAN RWY 16, Amdt 1, (3) the VOR A, Amdt 8, (4) the VOR/DME C, Amdt 1 and (5) the Localizer (LOC)/ DME RWY 16, Amdt 3. The new approach is the Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) RWY 16, Original (Orig). Textual DP’s are unnamed and are published in the front of the U.S. Terminal Procedures for Alaska. Class E controlled airspace extending upward, from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface, in the McGrath Airport area would be revised by this action. The proposed airspace is sufficient in size to contain aircraft executing the instrument procedures at the McGrath Airport, McGrath, AK. The area would 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 in FAA Order 7400.9R, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed August 15, 2007, and effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1200 foot transition areas are published in paragraph 6005 in FAA Order 7400.9R, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed August 15, 2007, and effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document would be published subsequently in the Order. The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:14 Oct 15, 2007 Jkt 214001 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, when promulgated, 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 proposes to create Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain aircraft executing instrument procedures at McGrath Airport and represents the FAA’s continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air). The Proposed Amendment In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows: PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, CLASS B, CLASS C, CLASS D, AND CLASS E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIRWAYS; ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS 1.

The incorporation by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 of Federal Aviation Administration Order 7400.9R, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed August 15, 2007, and effective PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 September 15, 2007, is to be amended as follows: * * * * * Paragraph 6002 Class E Airspace Designated as Surface Areas. * * * * * AAL AK E2 McGrath, AK [Revised] McGrath, McGrath Airport, AK (Lat. 62°57′10″ N., long. 155°36′20″ W.)
