Final rule. 

# SUMMARY:

This action establishes Class E airspace at Teller, AK to provide adequate controlled airspace to contain aircraft executing two new Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP). This Rule results in new Class E airspace upward from 700 feet (ft.) and 1,200 feet above the surface at Teller, AK.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## History 

                    On Wednesday, June 9, 2004, the FAA proposed to revise part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to create new Class E airspace upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface at Teller, AK (69 FR 32291). An error in the coordinates describing the airspace upward from 1,200 above the surface was detected and corrected on Friday, September 2, 2004 (69 FR 53661). The action was proposed in order to add Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain aircraft while executing two new Standard Instrument Approach Procedures for the Teller Airport. The new approaches are Area Navigation-Global Positioning System (RNAV GPS) Runway (RWY) 7, original                           ( print page 57841)                        and (2) RNAV (GPS) Runway 25, original. New Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet and 1,200 feet above the surface in the Teller Airport area is established by this action. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No public comments have been received; thus the rule is adopted as proposed.                 

                    The area will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American Datum 83. The Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1200 foot transition areas are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 7400.9M,                     *Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,*                     dated September 2, 2004, and effective September 16, 2004, 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.                 

## The Rule 

This revision to 14 CFR part 71 establishes Class E airspace at Teller, Alaska. This additional Class E airspace was created to accommodate aircraft executing two new SIAPs and will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. The intended effect of this rule is to provide adequate controlled airspace for IFR operations at Teller Airport, Teller, Alaska. 

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. 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 a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
