SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority for This Rulemaking
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 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 amends
Class E airspace extending upward from
1,200 feet above the surface at Kaltag
Airport, AK, King Salmon Airport, AK,
Kodiak Airport, AK, Manokotak Airport,
AK, Middleton Island Airport, AK, and
Hooper Bay Airport, AK, to support IFR
operations in standard instrument
approach and departure procedures at
these airports.

History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the
Federal Register (83 FR 64491;
December 17, 2018) for Docket No.
FAA–2017–0347 to modify Class E
Airspace for the following Alaska
Towns: Hooper Bay, AK; Kaltag, AK;
King Salmon, AK; Kodiak, AK;
Manokotak, AK; and Middleton Island,
AK. Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal to the FAA. No comments
were received.
Subsequent to publication,
typographical error were discovered in
the coordinates of the Kodiak Airport
and the Middleton Island VOR/DME.
The latitude coordinate of ‘‘lat.
57°45′00″ N’’ for Kodiak Airport is
amended to ‘‘lat. 57°44′59″ N’’ and the
latitude coordinate of ‘‘lat. 59°25′19″ N’’
for Middleton Island VOR/DME is
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:03 Mar 04, 2019
Jkt 247001
amended to ‘‘lat. 59°25′18″ N’’ to correct
the errors.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018,
and effective September 15, 2018, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designation
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.
Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document amends FAA Order
7400.11C, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 13,
2018, and effective September 15, 2018.
FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly
available as listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this document. FAA Order
7400.11C lists Class A, B, C, D, and E
airspace areas, air traffic service routes,
and reporting points.
The Rule
This amendment to Title 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
modifies Class E airspace extending
upward from 1,200 feet above the
surface at Hooper Bay Airport, AK;
Kaltag Airport, AK; King Salmon
Airport, AK; Kodiak Airport, AK;
Manokotak Airport, AK; and Middleton
Island Airport, AK. This action adds
language to the legal descriptions of
these airports that reads ‘‘excluding that
airspace that extends beyond 12 miles
from the shoreline.’’
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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, is non-controversial and
unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. 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 only affects 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.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this
action qualifies for categorical exclusion
under the National Environmental
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
7809
Policy Act in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’
paragraph 5–6.5a. This airspace action
is not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts, and
no extraordinary circumstances exist
that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The final rule removes
Department of Defense (DoD)
regulations regarding the Retired
Serviceman’s Family Protection Plan
(RSFPP). The part contains information
for enrollment, designation of
beneficiaries, and general guidance for
the RSFPP program, which has been
closed to new applicants since 1972.
The only remaining relevant aspect of
the RSFPP program is the application
for benefits upon the death of a
participating retiree, which is
accomplished by completing the
necessary forms that are published on a
public website. This collection of
information is tied to statute, and thus
does not require an authorizing CFR
part. Accordingly, this part is outdated
and unnecessary and may be removed
from the CFR.
DATES: This rule is effective on March 5,
2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Andrew Corso, (703) 693–1059.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule
was published on July 18, 1969. RSFPP
(authorized by 10 U.S.C. Chapter 73,
Subchapter I) was terminated as the
military retired pay annuity protection
plan on September 21, 1972, and
replaced by the Survivor Benefit Plan.
All elections under RSFPP are complete.
Upon the death of the Service member,
a qualified annuitant can apply for the
RSFPP annuity. This application is done
through the completion of two forms
(DD Form 2656–7 ‘‘Verification for
Survivor Annuity,’’ and SF 1174 ‘‘Claim
for Unpaid Compensation of Deceased
Member of the Uniformed Services’’).
No other requirements are made of the
annuitants. The forms are publicly
available on the DFAS website (https://
www.dfas.mil/retiredmilitary/survivors/
Retiree-death.html). The public is
provided notice in the Federal Register
of changes to these forms, and given the

Federal Register (83 FR 64491; December 17, 2018) for Docket No. FAA-
2017-0347 to modify Class E Airspace for the following Alaska Towns:
Hooper Bay, AK; Kaltag, AK; King Salmon, AK; Kodiak, AK; Manokotak, AK;
and Middleton Island, AK. Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
Subsequent to publication, typographical error were discovered in
the coordinates of the Kodiak Airport and the Middleton Island VOR/DME.
The latitude coordinate of ``lat. 57[deg]45'00'' N'' for Kodiak Airport
is amended to ``lat. 57[deg]44'59'' N'' and the latitude coordinate of
``lat. 59[deg]25'19'' N'' for Middleton Island VOR/DME is amended to
``lat. 59[deg]25'18'' N'' to correct the errors.
Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15,
2018, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document amends FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15,
2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11C lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.
The Rule
This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet
above the surface at Hooper Bay Airport, AK; Kaltag Airport, AK; King
Salmon Airport, AK; Kodiak Airport, AK; Manokotak Airport, AK; and
Middleton Island Airport, AK. This action adds language to the legal
descriptions of these airports that reads ``excluding that airspace
that extends beyond 12 miles from the shoreline.''
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. 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 only affects 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.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
