provides controlled airspace to improve
the safety and management of aircraft
operations at the airport due to an
increase in the complexity, volume, and

Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
On August 22, 2012, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to establish Class D airspace at Bryant
AAF, Anchorage AK (77 FR 50646).
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal to the FAA. Thirteen
comments were received.
The commenters were concerned that
the creation of Class D airspace east of
the Glenn Highway might compress
traffic using the Eastside VFR flyway,
adversely affect pilots’ situational
awareness, and questioned the
availability of weather information at
Fort Richardson. The FAA found merit
in some of these comments and issued
a supplemental notice of proposed
rulemaking to establish Class D airspace
at Bryant AAF, Anchorage, AK, but
would eliminate that portion east of
Glenn Highway (FR 78 34608, June 10,
2013). Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal to the FAA. Fourteen
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
48299
comments were received, all in support
of the supplemental proposal.
Subsequent to publication of the
SNPRM, the FAA found that a digit was
left off the first set of coordinates, and
is corrected in the rule.
Class D airspace designations are
published in paragraph 5000 of FAA
Order 7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012,
and effective September 15, 2012, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class D airspace designation
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in this Order.
The Rule
This action amends Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by
establishing Class D airspace extending
upward to and including 2,900 feet MSL
at Bryant AAF, Anchorage, AK. This
action provides controlled airspace due
to an increase in the complexity,
volume and variety of aircraft in the
immediate vicinity of the airport and
improves the safety of and management
of aircraft operations. A typographical
error is corrected in the regulatory text
for the first set of coordinates, changing
it from ‘‘lat. 61°17″3′ ’’ to ‘‘lat. 61°
17″13′ ’’.
The FAA has determined this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally
current. Therefore, this 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 only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified this rule, when promulgated,
does 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
discusses 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 establishes

14 CFR Part 71
On April 30, 2013, the FAA published
in the Federal Register a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to
establish Class E airspace for the
Mahnomen, MN, area, creating
