The Proposal
This action proposes to amend Title
14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR), Part 71 by establishing Class E
airspace for SIAPs operations at
Floydada Municipal Airport, Floydada,
TX. The area would be depicted on
appropriate aeronautical charts.
Class E airspace areas are published
in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9S, dated October 3, 2008, and
effective October 31, 2008, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designation
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
VerDate Nov<24>2008

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 would
establish controlled airspace at
Floydada Municipal Airport, Floydada,
TX.

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
two heliports servicing Oooguruk, AK.
The intended effect of this proposal is
to establish Class E airspace upward
from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the
surface to contain Instrument Flight
Rules (IFR) operations at the two
heliports servicing Oooguruk, AK.
Two Special IFR arrival procedures
have been developed for two heliports,
designated at Ooguruk Drill Site
Helipad and Oooguruk Tie-In Helipad,
AK. It is FAA policy to provide
controlled airspace at airports serviced
by instrument procedures. This action
would provide sufficient airspace to
contain aircraft executing the
instrument procedures at these two
heliports.
This action would result in the
establishment of Class E airspace
depicted on affected aeronautical charts.
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 subsequently published 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,

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 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, would 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 for 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 would add additional controlled airspace at Twin Falls Joslin
Field-Magic Valley Regional, Twin Falls, ID.
