SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Tuesday October 28, 2008, the
FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 to amend Class D and E airspace
upward from the surface, and from 700
ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface at
Bethel, AK (73 FR 63910). The Bethel
Airport and its Navigation Aids will be
soon undergoing a magnetic variation
change. This change will result in the
necessity to amend the airspace
descriptions. There will be no visible
change to the airspace currently
depicted on aeronautical charts.
Additionally, the present 1,200 foot
airspace description is no longer
necessary, because Bethel, Alaska lies
within a larger section of Class E5
airspace, called Yukon-Kuskokwim
Delta, covering the area required for the
airport. The Class E4 description has
been slightly modified to address small
bearing and radial errors listed in the
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Class D
and E controlled airspace extending
upward from the surface, and from 700
ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface in the
Bethel Airport area is amended 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 D airspace area designations
are published in paragraph 5000 of FAA

designated as surface areas are

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
will be published subsequently in the
Order.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71
amends Class D and E airspace at the
Bethel Airport, Alaska. This Class D and
E airspace is amended to accommodate
aircraft executing instrument
procedures, and 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 Bethel Airport, Bethel, 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.
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
1873
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 amends Class D and E
airspace to contain aircraft executing
instrument procedures for the Bethel
Airport and represents the FAA’s
continuing effort to safely and
efficiently use the navigable airspace.

14 CFR Part 71
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by
amending Class E airspace at Houston,
TX, adding additional controlled
airspace at Lone Star Executive Airport,
Conroe, TX. This rule also updates the
geographic coordinates of Chambers
County Airport, and changes Sholes
Field to Sholes International at
Galveston, TX.
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. Therefore, this regulation: (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 U.S. 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 I, Section 40103. Under that
section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to assign the use
of 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 adds
additional controlled airspace in the
Houston, TX airspace area, at Lone Star

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Tuesday October 28, 2008, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend Class D and
E airspace upward from the surface, and from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft.
above the surface at Bethel, AK (73 FR 63910). The Bethel Airport and
its Navigation Aids will be soon undergoing a magnetic variation
change. This change will result in the necessity to amend the airspace
descriptions. There will be no visible change to the airspace currently
depicted on aeronautical charts. Additionally, the present 1,200 foot
airspace description is no longer necessary, because Bethel, Alaska
lies within a larger section of Class E5 airspace, called Yukon-
Kuskokwim Delta, covering the area required for the airport. The Class
E4 description has been slightly modified to address small bearing and
radial errors listed in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Class D and
E controlled airspace extending upward from the surface, and from 700
ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface in the Bethel Airport area is
amended 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 D airspace area designations are published
in paragraph 5000 of 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 surface areas are published in paragraph
6002 and 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 700/1,200 ft. transition areas are published in paragraph
6005 of 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 will be published subsequently in
the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 amends Class D and E airspace at
the Bethel Airport, Alaska. This Class D and E airspace is amended to
accommodate aircraft executing instrument procedures, and 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 Bethel Airport, Bethel,
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 amends Class D and E airspace to contain aircraft executing
instrument procedures for the Bethel Airport and represents the FAA's
continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace.
