request to the Federal Aviation 

Administration, Office of Air Traffic 

Airspace Management, ATA–400, 800 

Independence Avenue, SW., 

Washington, DC 20591 or by calling 

(202) 267–8783. Communications must 

identify both docket numbers for this 

notice. Persons interested in being 

placed on a mailing list for future 

NPRM’s should contact the FAA’s 

Office of Rulemaking, (202) 267–9677, 

to request a copy of Advisory Circular 

No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to the Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR Part 71) by 

establishing new Class E airspace at 

Akhiok, AK. The intended effect of this 

proposal is to establish Class E airspace 

upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above 

the surface, to contain Instrument Flight 

Rules (IFR) operations at Akhiok, AK. 

The FAA Instrument Flight 

Procedures Production and 

Maintenance Branch has developed a 

new SIAP and Departure Procedure for 

the Akhiok Airport. The new approach 

is Area Navigation (Global Positioning 

System) (RNAV GPS) A, original. The 

JOGMO ONE RNAV Departure, a new 

Departure Procedure, will also be 

established. New Class E controlled 

airspace extending upward from 700 ft. 

and 1,200 ft. above the surface within 

the Akhiok, Alaska area would be 

created by this action. The proposed 

airspace is sufficient to contain aircraft 

executing the new instrument 

procedures for the Akhiok Airport. 

The area would 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 in FAA 

Order 7400.9L, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, dated September 

2, 2003, and effective September 16, 

2003, which is incorporated by 

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 

airspace designations listed in this 

document would be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed 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 is a routine matter that will 

only affect 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.
