Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 212 / Wednesday, November 3, 2004 / Proposed Rules 63975

(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), which 

would establish new Class E airspace at 

Badami, AK. The intended effect of this 

proposal is to establish Class E airspace 

upward from 700 ft. above the surface, 

to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 

operations at Badami, AK. 

The Special Instrument Flight 

Procedures developed for the Badami 

Airport currently are not contained in 

Class E airspace. To improve safety, the 

FAA is proposing to establish Class E 

airspace at Badami, AK, which would 

be sufficient to contain aircraft 

executing instrument procedures. New 

Class E controlled airspace extending 

upward from 700 ft. above the surface 

within the Badami Airport area would 

be created by this action. 

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 7400.9M, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, dated August 30, 

2004, and effective September 16, 2004, 

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.
