History
On Monday, March 31, 2008, 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. above the surface
and from 1,200 ft. above the surface at
Deadhorse, AK (73 FR 16792). The
action was proposed in order to create
Class E airspace sufficient in size to
contain aircraft while executing SIAPs
for the Deadhorse Airport. The Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking contained an
error in the airspace description. The
035° bearing should have been listed as
075°, and the 255° bearing in the Class
E2 description was inadvertently left
out. Additionally, the correct 4.1-mile
radius in the Class E2 description as
erroneously listed with a 2.4-mile value.
These errors have been corrected in the
rule. Class E controlled airspace
extending upward from the surface and
from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the
surface in the Deadhorse 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.
No comments were received. 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 of 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 700/1,200 ft. transition
areas are published in paragraph 6005 of
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 will be
published subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71
revises Class E airspace at the
Deadhorse Airport, Alaska. This Class E
airspace is revised to accommodate
aircraft executing amended SIAPs, and
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
will be depicted on aeronautical charts
for pilot reference. The intended effect
of this rule is to provide adequate
controlled airspace for Instrument Flight
Rules (IFR) operations at the Deadhorse
Airport, Deadhorse, 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
Deadhorse Airport and represents the
FAA’s continuing effort to safely and
efficiently use the navigable airspace.

SUMMARY: The Commander, Seventh
Coast Guard District, has issued a
temporary deviation from the regulation
governing the operation of the Spanish
River Boulevard bridge across the
Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, mile
1044.9, at Boca Raton, FL. The deviation
is necessary to perform rehabilitation
work on the bridge. This deviation
allows the bridge to operate with a five
feet reduced vertical clearance, operate
with single leaf openings, and/or
operate with full double leaf opening
pending a three hour advance notice.
DATES: This deviation is effective from
8 a.m., June 15, 2008 to 6 p.m.,
December 8, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this
preamble as being available in the
docket are part of docket USCG–2008–

Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Waterway, Boca Raton, FL. The bridge
has a vertical clearance of 25 feet in the
closed position and a horizontal
clearance of 90 feet. The work will
require single leaf operation on the hour
and half-hour with a 3 hour advance
notice for a double leaf opening in order
to remove personnel and equipment
from the leaf areas. In addition, the
vertical clearance will be reduced by
five feet due to the placement of
containment equipment which is
required to protect the environment.
The normal operating schedule for the
bridge is in 33 CFR 117.261(z–3), and
requires the bridge to open on the hour
and half-hour. This deviation period
begins on June 15, 2008 and ends on
December 8, 2008. The operating
schedule during this deviation period
will be single leaf on the hour and halfhour with a 3 hour advance notice for
a full double leaf opening. Contact the
bridge tender at 561–395–5417 to
request a full opening. In the case of
emergencies the bridge will open as
soon as practicable.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the designated time period. This
deviation from the operating regulations
is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
Dated: May 29, 2008.

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise Class E
