Federal Aviation Administration February 7, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its determination that the noise exposure maps submitted by City of Scottsdale for Scottsdale Airport under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et seq (Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act) and 14 CFR part 150 are in compliance with applicable requlirements.

This action establishes Federal Airway 623 (V-623) between the Sparta, NJ, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) and the Carmel, NY, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME). The FAA is taking this action to enhance the management of aircraft transiting from the New England area to airports in the Newark, NJ, area.

This action corrects a notice of proposed rulemaking that was published in the Federal Register on Wednesday, January 19, 2005, (70 FR 2991) [FR Doc. 05-969]. It corrects an error in the legal description of the proposed Class E airspace area designated as a surface area at Ankeny, IA.

This action proposes to revise the Class E airspace at Kalskag, AK. Two new Standard instrument approach procedures (SIAP's) and a new Textual Departure Procedure are being published for Kalskag, AK. Additional Class E airspace is needed to contain aircraft executing instrument approaches at Kalskag Airport. Adoption of this proposal would result in additional Class E airspace upward from 700 feet (ft.) above the surface at Kalskag, AK.

This amendment establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, addition of new obstacles, or changes in air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

The FAA proposes to rule and invites public comment on the application to impose and use the revenue from a PFC at Lehigh Valley International Airport under the provisions of the 49 U.S.C. 40117 and part 158 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 158).
