Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 169 / Wednesday, August 31, 2011 / Proposed Rules 54153 

Distribution System, which describes 

the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 

part 71 by revising Class E5 airspace at 

the Galbraith Lake Airport in Galbraith 

Lake, AK, to accommodate the creation 

of two special instrument approach 

procedures at the Galbraith Lake 

Airport. These special instrument 

approach procedures were created in 

2009, and the need for Class E transition 

area airspace upward from 1200 feet 

above the surface was only recently 

identified. This amended Class E 

airspace would provide adequate 

controlled airspace upward from the 

700 feet and 1,200 feet above the 

surface, for the safety and management 

of IFR operations at the Galbraith Lake 

Airport. 

Class E5 airspace areas designated as 

700 and 1200 foot transition areas are 

published in paragraph 6005 in FAA 

Order 7400.9U, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, signed August 18, 

2010, and effective September 15, 2010, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The airspaces listed in this 

document would be subsequently 

published in that 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. 

Because 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. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle 1, Section 106 describes 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 1, Section 40103, 

Sovereignty and use of airspace. Under 

that section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to ensure the 

safe and efficient use of the navigable 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority because it 

proposes to revise Class E airspace at 

the Galbraith Lake Airport, Galbraith 

Lake, AK, and represents the FAA’s 

continuing effort to safely and 

efficiently use the navigable airspace.

Proposed Rulemaking distribution 

System, which describes the application 

procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend 

Class D airspace and Class E surface 

airspace at Martin State Airport, 

Baltimore, MD. Airspace reconfiguration 

is necessary due to the 

decommissioning of the Martin NDB 

and cancellation of the NDB approach, 

and for continued safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. The geographic coordinates for 

the Baltimore VORTAC also would be 

adjusted to coincide with the FAAs 

aeronautical database. 

Class D and E airspace designations 

are published in Paragraph 5000, 6002, 

and 6004 of FAA order 7400.9U, dated 

August 18, 2010, and effective 

September 15, 2010, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and 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 

proposed rule, when promulgated, 

would 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 United States Code. 

Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the 

authority of the FAA Administrator. 

Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, 

describes in more detail the scope of the 

agency’s authority. This proposed 

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 proposed regulation is 

within the scope of that authority as it 

would amend Class D and E airspace at 

Martin State Airport, Baltimore, MD.

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish 

Class E airspace at Danville, PA, 

providing the controlled airspace 

required to support the new RNAV GPS 

standard instrument approach 

procedures for Danville Airport. 

Controlled airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface would 

be established for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010, 

and effective September 15, 2010, 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 FAA has determined that this
