Class D airspace designations are published in Paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9T, signed August 27, 2009, and effective September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace designation listed in this document will 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. 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. VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:48 Apr 07, 2010 Jkt 220001 The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, 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 proposed 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 proposed regulation is within the scope of that authority as it would amend Class D airspace at Seymour Johnson AFB, Goldsboro, NC. Issued in College Park, Georgia, on March 31, 2010. Barry A.

Proposed Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the 
application procedure.

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 
(14 CFR) part 71 by revising Class E airspace at Galena, AK, to 
accommodate a new departure procedure and amended SIAPs at Edward G. 
Pitka Sr. Airport. This Class E airspace would provide adequate 
controlled airspace upward from the surface, and from 700 feet above 
the surface, for the safety and management of IFR operations at Edward 
G. Pitka Sr. Airport.
    The Class E2 surface areas are published in paragraph 6002 in 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 areas 
designated as 700/1200 foot transition areas are published in paragraph 
6005 in 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 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, 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 revise airspace at Galena, Alaska, and represents the 
FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable 
airspace.
