Docket No. 13–AAL–3] 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Gustavus, AK 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

airspace at Gustavus Airport, Gustavus, 

AK. Decommissioning of the Gustavus 

Nondirectional Radio Beacon (NDB) has 

made this action necessary for the safety 

and management of Instrument Flight 

Rules (IFR) operations at the airport. 

This action also adjusts the geographic 

coordinates of the airport. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, 

October 17, 2013. The Director of the 

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under 

1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual 

revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 

publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On May 28, 2013, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 

controlled airspace at Gustavus, AK (78 

FR 31871). Interested parties were 

invited to participate in this rulemaking 

effort by submitting written comments 

on the proposal to the FAA. No 

comments were received. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005, 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 E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in that Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

amending Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface, 

at Gustavus Airport, Gustavus, AK. 

Accordingly, segments extend from the 

6.8-mile radius of the airport to 16.8 

miles southwest and 24 miles southeast 

of the airport due to the 

decommissioning of the Gustavus NDB 

and cancellation of the NDB approach. 

Also, the geographic coordinates of the 

airport are updated to coincide with the 

FAA’s aeronautical database. This 

action is necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations. 

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 amends 

controlled airspace at Gustavus Airport, 

Gustavus, AK. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. This airspace action is 

not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist

environmental assessment.

[Docket No. RM12–17–000; Order No. 781] 

Revisions to Procedural Regulations 

Governing Transportation by Intrastate 

Pipelines 

AGENCY: Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, DOE. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: In this Final Rule, the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission amends 

its regulations to provide optional 

notice procedures for processing rate 

filings by those natural gas pipelines 

that fall under the Commission’s 

jurisdiction pursuant to the Natural Gas 

Policy Act of 1978 or the Natural Gas 

Act. The rule results in regulatory 

certainty and a reduction of regulatory 

burdens. 

DATES: This rule is effective September 

30, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final 

Rule generally adopts the regulations 

proposed in the October 18, 2012, 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 

published November 6, 2012, at 77 FR 

66568, but revises that proposal in two 

respects. First, the Final Rule revises the 

Commission’s periodic rate review 

requirement policy to allow intrastate 

pipelines with unchanged state-based 

rates to meet the requirement by 

certifying that the state-approved rates 

continue to satisfy the requirements of 

the Commission’s regulations for using 

a state-based rate. Second, the Final 

Rule extends the deadline for 

interventions and initial comments to 

21 days after the date of the filing or 

such other date established by the 

Secretary of the Commission. The Final 

Rule also makes technical corrections to 

the proposed rules.
