Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 104 / Thursday, May 29, 2008 / Proposed Rules
rfrederick on PRODPC75 with PROPOSALS
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 establish Class E airspace at the
Eek Airport, in Eek, AK. The intended
effect of this proposal is to create Class
E airspace upward from 700 ft. above
the surface to contain Instrument Flight
Rules (IFR) operations at the Eek
Airport, Eek, AK.
The FAA Instrument Flight
Procedures Production and
Maintenance Branch has developed two
SIAPs and one textual ODP for the Eek
Airport. The new SIAPs are (1) the Area
Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning
System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 17,
Original (Orig) and (2) the RNAV (GPS)
RWY 35, Orig. Textual ODPs 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. above the
surface in the Eek Airport area would be
created by this action. The proposed
airspace is sufficient in size to contain
aircraft executing the instrument
procedures at the Eek Airport, Eek, 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
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
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 the Eek Airport, AK, and
represents the FAA’s continuing effort
to safely and efficiently use the
navigable airspace.

SUMMARY: This action withdraws the
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
published in the Federal Register on
February 19, 2008. The FAA proposed
to establish Class E airspace at the
White Hills Airstrip, AK, to support the
installation of instrument approach
procedures. The FAA has since been
advised by the proponent that the
airstrip will not be used for instrument
approaches in the near term. Therefore,
the FAA has determined that
withdrawal of the proposed rule is
warranted.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
February 19, 2008, an NPRM was
published in the Federal Register (73
FR 9059) proposing to amend 14 CFR
part 71 to establish Class E airspace
around the White Hills airstrip in the
location known as White Hills, AK.
Subsequent to the NPRM publication,
the proponent informed the FAA that
their plans to implement instrument
approaches at the airstrip had been
cancelled. As a result the Class E
airspace will not be required.

The Proposal
The FAA is considering an amendment to the Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR part 71), which would establish Class E airspace at
the Eek Airport, in Eek, AK. The intended effect of this proposal is to
create Class E airspace upward from 700 ft. above the surface to
contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the Eek Airport,
Eek, AK.
The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance
Branch has developed two SIAPs and one textual ODP for the Eek Airport.
The new SIAPs are (1) the Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning
System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 17, Original (Orig) and (2) the RNAV (GPS)
RWY 35, Orig. Textual ODPs 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. above the surface in the Eek Airport area
would be created by this action. The proposed airspace is sufficient in
size to contain aircraft executing the instrument procedures at the Eek
Airport, Eek, 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 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 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

and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
