Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 236 / Monday, December 8, 2008 / Proposed Rules
Maintenance Branch has created two
new SIAPs for the Umiat Airport. The
SIAPs are (1) the Area Navigation
(RNAV) Global Positioning System
(GPS) Runway (RWY) 06, Original and
(2) the RNAV (GPS) RWY 24, Original.
The Textual ODP is unnamed and will
be 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 Umiat Airport area would
be established by this action. The
proposed airspace is sufficient in size to
contain aircraft executing the
instrument procedures at the Umiat
Airport, Umiat, 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 7400.9S, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, signed October 3,
2008, and effective October 31, 2008,
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.
Because 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
VerDate Aug<31>2005

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 Umiat Airport, AK,
and represents the FAA’s continuing
effort to safely and efficiently use the
navigable airspace.

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 Class D and E airspace at
the King Salmon Airport, in King
Salmon, AK. The intended effect of this
proposal is to revise Class D and E
airspace upward from the surface, and
from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the
surface to contain Instrument Flight
Rules (IFR) operations at the King
Salmon Airport, King Salmon, AK.
The FAA Instrument Flight
Procedures Production and
Maintenance Branch has amended nine
SIAPs and an ODP for the King Salmon
Airport. The approaches are (1) the Area
Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning
System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 12,
Amendment (Amdt) 1; (2) the RNAV
(GPS) RWY 30, Amdt 1; (3) the Localizer
(LOC)/Distance Measuring Equipment
(DME) Backcourse RWY 30, Amdt 4; (4)
the Instrument Landing System (ILS) or
LOC/DME RWY 12, Amdt 17; (5) the HI
ILS or LOC/DME RWY 12, Amdt 6; (6)
the Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR)/DME or
Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) RWY
30, Amdt 10; (7) the VOR or TACAN
RWY 12, Amdt 13; (8) the HI VOR/DME
or TACAN RWY 12, Amdt 4; and (9) the
HI VOR/DME or TACAN RWY 30, Amdt
4. The Textual ODP is unnamed and
will be published in the front of the U.S.
Terminal Procedures for Alaska. Class E
controlled airspace extending upward
from the surface, and from 700 ft. and
1,200 ft. above the surface in the King
Salmon Airport area would be revised
by this action. The proposed airspace is
sufficient in size to contain aircraft
executing the instrument procedures at
the King Salmon Airport, King Salmon,
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 D airspace area designations
are published in paragraph 5000 in FAA
Order 7400.9S, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, signed October 3,
2008, and effective October 31, 2008,

and Reporting Points, signed October 3,
2008, and effective October 31, 2008,
which is incorporated by reference in 14

designated as extensions to Class D
surface areas are published in paragraph

E airspace areas designated as 700/1200
foot transition areas are published in
paragraph 6005 in FAA Order 7400.9S,

Points, signed October 3, 2008, and
effective October 31, 2008, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class D and 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

keep them operationally current. It,
therefore —(1) is not a ‘‘significant

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 409A was added to the
Internal Revenue Code (Code) by section
885 of the American Jobs Creation Act
of 2004, Public Law 108–357 (118 Stat.
1418). Section 409A generally provides
that if certain requirements are not met
at any time during a taxable year,
amounts deferred under a nonqualified
deferred compensation plan for that
year and all previous taxable years are
currently includible in gross income to
the extent not subject to a substantial
risk of forfeiture and not previously
included in gross income. Section 409A
also includes rules applicable to certain
trusts or similar arrangements
associated with nonqualified deferred
compensation.
On December 20, 2004, the IRS issued
Notice 2005–1 (2005–2 CB 274), setting
forth initial guidance on the application
of section 409A, and providing
transition guidance in accordance with
the terms of the statute. On April 10,
2007, the Treasury Department and the
IRS issued final regulations under

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 Class D and E airspace
at the King Salmon Airport, in King Salmon, AK. The intended effect of
this proposal is to revise Class D and E airspace upward from the
surface, and from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface to contain
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the King Salmon Airport,
King Salmon, AK.
The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance
Branch has amended nine SIAPs and an ODP for the King Salmon Airport.
The approaches are (1) the Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning
System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 12, Amendment (Amdt) 1; (2) the RNAV (GPS)
RWY 30, Amdt 1; (3) the Localizer (LOC)/Distance Measuring Equipment
(DME) Backcourse RWY 30, Amdt 4; (4) the Instrument Landing System
(ILS) or LOC/DME RWY 12, Amdt 17; (5) the HI ILS or LOC/DME RWY 12,
Amdt 6; (6) the Very High Frequency Omni-directional Range (VOR)/DME or
Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) RWY 30, Amdt 10; (7) the VOR or TACAN
RWY 12, Amdt 13; (8) the HI VOR/DME or TACAN RWY 12, Amdt 4; and (9)
the HI VOR/DME or TACAN RWY 30, Amdt 4. The Textual ODP is unnamed and
will be published in the front of the U.S. Terminal Procedures for
Alaska. Class E controlled airspace extending upward from the surface,
and from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface in the King Salmon
Airport area would be revised by this action. The proposed airspace is
sufficient in size to contain aircraft executing the instrument
procedures at the King Salmon Airport, King Salmon, 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 D airspace area designations are published
in paragraph 5000 in FAA Order 7400.9S, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, signed October 3, 2008, and effective October 31,
2008, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E2
surface areas are published in paragraph 6002 in FAA Order 7400.9S,
Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed October 3, 2008, and
effective October 31, 2008, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E4 surface areas designated as extensions to Class
D surface areas are published in paragraph 6004 in FAA Order 7400.9S,
Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed October 3, 2008, and
effective October 31, 2008, 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 7400.9S,
Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed October 3, 2008, and
effective October 31, 2008, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class D and 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. Because 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 King Salmon Airport,
[[Page 74380]]
AK, and represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and
efficiently use the navigable airspace.
