(ii) The critical ice shape(s) from paragraph (i) above, plus an exposure to one 17.4 nautical mile continuous maximum cloud at altitudes between the automatic shut off altitude feet and the maximum operating altitude with the ice protection system off. The ice shape(s) must be based on the liquid water content for the coldest temperature shown in 14 CFR part 25, Appendix C, Figure 1. (iii) The critical ice shape(s) from paragraph (i) above plus an exposure to one 2.6 nautical mile intermittent maximum cloud at altitudes between 30,000 feet and the maximum operating altitude with the ice protection system off. The substantiation will assume the liquid water content for the coldest temperature shown in 14 CFR part 25, Appendix C, Figure 4. The AFM must contain appropriate procedures for activating the airframe ice protection system at altitudes where the system can be activated, and for exiting icing conditions at altitudes where the system is inhibited. (f) The engine anti-icing system must not be subject to the automatic shut off feature but must be operable at any altitude. (g) It must be shown that engine operation is not affected by ice shedding from the inboard wing, with the ice accretions defined in paragraph (e)(2), after the airplane has descended below the inhibit altitude. mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with RULES Issued in Kansas City, MO, on December 8, 2009.

This Class E airspace will provide adequate controlled airspace upward from 700 and 1,200 feet above the surface, for the safety and management of IFR operations at Clarks Point Airport. 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. Because 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 creates Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain aircraft executing instrument procedures for the Clarks Point Airport and represents the FAA’s continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace. 14 CFR Part 71 [Docket No. FAA–2009–0197; Airspace Docket No. 09–AAL–4] Establishment of Class E Airspace; Clarks Point, AK AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On Wednesday, October 7, 2009, the FAA published a notice of 
proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register to establish Class E 
airspace at Clarks Point, AK (74 FR 51524).
    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 Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1,200 ft. transition 
areas are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9T, Airspace 
Designations and Reporting Points, signed August 27, 2009, and 
effective September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document 
will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by establishing Class E airspace at Clarks Point Airport, AK, 
to accommodate new RNAV SIAPs at Clarks Point Airport. This Class E 
airspace will provide adequate controlled airspace upward from 700 and 
1,200 feet above the surface, for the safety and management of IFR 
operations at Clarks Point Airport.
    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. Because 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 creates Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain aircraft 
executing instrument procedures for the Clarks Point Airport and 
represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use 
the navigable airspace.
