Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 147 / Wednesday, July 30, 2008 / Proposed Rules
Paperwork Reduction Act
NCUA has determined that the
proposed rule would not increase
paperwork requirements under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and
regulations of the Office of Management
and Budget. Control number 3133–0154
has been issued for part 702 and control
number 3133–0129 has been issued for
part 704. Both will be displayed in the
table at 12 CFR part 795.
Executive Order 13132
Executive Order 13132 encourages
independent regulatory agencies to
consider the impact of their regulatory
actions on State and local interests.
NCUA, an independent regulatory
agency as defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(5),
voluntarily adheres to the fundamental
federalism principles addressed by the
executive order. This proposed rule
would apply to all federally-insured
credit unions, including State-chartered
credit unions, and thus may raise some
federalism implications. However, the
proposal is unlikely to have a direct
effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and
the States, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government because it
facilitates, rather than diminishes, the
ability of state-chartered credit unions
to combine with other credit unions.
Treasury and General Government
Appropriations Act, 1999
NCUA has determined that the
proposed rule will not affect family
well-being within the meaning of
section 654 of the Treasury and General
Appropriations Act, 1999, Public Law

describes the application procedure.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 to modify the Norton
Sound Low, Woody Island Low, Control
1234L and Control 1487L Offshore
Airspace Areas in Alaska.
The Norton Sound Low Offshore
Airspace Area would be modified by
lowering the offshore airspace floor to
1,200 feet mean sea level (MSL) at the
following airports: Within 78 miles of
Buckland; within 73 miles of Chevak;
within 74 miles of Kotzebue; within 73
miles of Noatak; within 74 miles of
Selawik; and within 73 miles of Port
Heiden. Also, the Norton Sound Low
Offshore Airspace area would be
lowered to 700 feet MSL at Port Heiden
Airport.
The Woody Island Low Offshore
Airspace Area would be modified in the
vicinity of the Kodiak, Middleton Island
and Port Heiden Airports by lowering
the offshore airspace floor to 1,200 feet
MSL within 73 miles of Kodiak and Port
Heiden Airports, and within 42 miles of
the Middleton Island Airport.
Additionally, the Control 1234L
Offshore Airspace area would be
modified by lowering the offshore
airspace floor to 700 feet above the
surface within 6.3 miles, and 1,200 feet
PO 00000
Frm 00027
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
above the surface within 45 miles, of
Nikolski Airport; and within 1,200 feet
above the surface within 73 miles of
Port Heiden Airport.
Finally, this action would modify the
Control 1487L Offshore Airspace Area
by lowering the offshore airspace floor
to 1,200 feet MSL within 73 miles of
Kodiak Airport, and corrects an error in
one coordinate adjoining the Woody
Island Low Control Area. This
correction will align the adjoining
airspaces.
Offshore airspace areas are published
in paragraph 6007 of FAA Order
7400.9R, signed August 15, 2007, and
effective September 15, 2007, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The offshore airspace areas listed
in this document will 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.
Therefore, this proposed regulation: (1)
Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not
a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of
Transportation (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 proposed 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 I, 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 I, section
40103. Under that section, the FAA is
charged with prescribing regulations to
assign the use of the airspace necessary
to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation
is within the scope of that authority as
it modifies offshore airspace areas in
Alaska.
ICAO Considerations
As part of this proposal relates to
navigable airspace outside the United
States, this notice is submitted in
accordance with the International Civil
E:\FR\FM\30JYP1.SGM
30JYP1
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 147 / Wednesday, July 30, 2008 / Proposed Rules
Aviation Organization (ICAO)
International Standards and
Recommended Practices.
The application of International
Standards and Recommended Practices
by the FAA, Office of System
Operations Airspace and AIM, Airspace
& Rules, in areas outside the United
States domestic airspace, is governed by
the Convention on International Civil
Aviation. Specifically, the FAA is
governed by Article 12 and Annex 11,
which pertain to the establishment of
necessary air navigational facilities and
services to promote the safe, orderly,
and expeditious flow of civil air traffic.
The purpose of Article 12 and Annex 11
is to ensure that civil aircraft operations
on international air routes are
performed under uniform conditions.
The International Standards and
Recommended Practices in Annex 11
apply to airspace under the jurisdiction
of a contracting state, derived from
ICAO. Annex 11 provisions apply when
air traffic services are provided and a
contracting state accepts the
responsibility of providing air traffic
services over high seas or in airspace of
undetermined sovereignty. A
contracting state accepting this
responsibility may apply the
International Standards and
Recommended Practices that are
consistent with standards and practices
utilized in its domestic jurisdiction.
In accordance with Article 3 of the
Convention, state-owned aircraft are
exempt from the Standards and
Recommended Practices of Annex 11.
The United States is a contracting state
to the Convention. Article 3(d) of the
Convention provides that participating
state aircraft will be operated in
international airspace with due regard
for the safety of civil aircraft. Since this
action involves, in part, the designation
of navigable airspace outside the United
States, the Administrator is consulting
with the Secretary of State and the
Secretary of Defense in accordance with
the provisions of Executive Order
10854.

Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to modify the Norton Sound Low, Woody
Island Low, Control 1234L and Control 1487L Offshore Airspace Areas in
Alaska.
The Norton Sound Low Offshore Airspace Area would be modified by
lowering the offshore airspace floor to 1,200 feet mean sea level (MSL)
at the following airports: Within 78 miles of Buckland; within 73 miles
of Chevak; within 74 miles of Kotzebue; within 73 miles of Noatak;
within 74 miles of Selawik; and within 73 miles of Port Heiden. Also,
the Norton Sound Low Offshore Airspace area would be lowered to 700
feet MSL at Port Heiden Airport.
The Woody Island Low Offshore Airspace Area would be modified in
the vicinity of the Kodiak, Middleton Island and Port Heiden Airports
by lowering the offshore airspace floor to 1,200 feet MSL within 73
miles of Kodiak and Port Heiden Airports, and within 42 miles of the
Middleton Island Airport.
Additionally, the Control 1234L Offshore Airspace area would be
modified by lowering the offshore airspace floor to 700 feet above the
surface within 6.3 miles, and 1,200 feet above the surface within 45
miles, of Nikolski Airport; and within 1,200 feet above the surface
within 73 miles of Port Heiden Airport.
Finally, this action would modify the Control 1487L Offshore
Airspace Area by lowering the offshore airspace floor to 1,200 feet MSL
within 73 miles of Kodiak Airport, and corrects an error in one
coordinate adjoining the Woody Island Low Control Area. This correction
will align the adjoining airspaces.
Offshore airspace areas are published in paragraph 6007 of FAA
Order 7400.9R, signed August 15, 2007, and effective September 15,
2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The offshore
airspace areas listed in this document will 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.
Therefore, this proposed regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
``significant rule'' under Department of Transportation (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 proposed 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 I, 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 I, section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it modifies offshore airspace areas in Alaska.
ICAO Considerations
As part of this proposal relates to navigable airspace outside the
United States, this notice is submitted in accordance with the
International Civil
[[Page 44203]]
Aviation Organization (ICAO) International Standards and Recommended
Practices.
The application of International Standards and Recommended
Practices by the FAA, Office of System Operations Airspace and AIM,
Airspace & Rules, in areas outside the United States domestic airspace,
is governed by the Convention on International Civil Aviation.
Specifically, the FAA is governed by Article 12 and Annex 11, which
pertain to the establishment of necessary air navigational facilities
and services to promote the safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of
civil air traffic. The purpose of Article 12 and Annex 11 is to ensure
that civil aircraft operations on international air routes are
performed under uniform conditions.
The International Standards and Recommended Practices in Annex 11
apply to airspace under the jurisdiction of a contracting state,
derived from ICAO. Annex 11 provisions apply when air traffic services
are provided and a contracting state accepts the responsibility of
providing air traffic services over high seas or in airspace of
undetermined sovereignty. A contracting state accepting this
responsibility may apply the International Standards and Recommended
Practices that are consistent with standards and practices utilized in
its domestic jurisdiction.
In accordance with Article 3 of the Convention, state-owned
aircraft are exempt from the Standards and Recommended Practices of
Annex 11. The United States is a contracting state to the Convention.
Article 3(d) of the Convention provides that participating state
aircraft will be operated in international airspace with due regard for
the safety of civil aircraft. Since this action involves, in part, the
designation of navigable airspace outside the United States, the
Administrator is consulting with the Secretary of State and the
Secretary of Defense in accordance with the provisions of Executive
Order 10854.
