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.

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 Chuathbaluk Airport, in Chuathbaluk, AK. The intended effect of 
this proposal is to create Class E airspace upward from 700 ft. above 
the surface to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the 
Chuathbaluk Airport, Chuathbaluk, AK.

[[Page 31900]]

    The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance 
Branch has created one new SIAP for the Chuathbaluk Airport. The SIAP 
is the Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway 
(RWY) 9, Original. Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 
700 ft. above the surface in the Chuathbaluk Airport area would be 
established by this action. The proposed airspace is sufficient in size 
to contain aircraft executing this instrument procedure at the 
Chuathbaluk Airport, Chuathbaluk, 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 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 Chuathbaluk Airport, 
AK, and represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and 
efficiently use the navigable airspace.
