The Proposal This action proposes to amend Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by revising Class E airspace at Unalakleet, AK, to accommodate a new departure procedure, and new and amended SIAPs at Unalakleet Airport. This Class E airspace would provide adequate controlled airspace upward from the surface, and from 700 and 1,200 feet above the surface for the safety and management of IFR operations at Unalakleet 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 E:\FR\FM\10JNP1.SGM 10JNP1 32866 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 111 / Thursday, June 10, 2010 / Proposed Rules under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
