SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On Wednesday, December 16, 2009, 

the FAA published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking in the Federal Register to 

revise Class E airspace at Dillingham, 

AK (74 FR 66595). 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking 

proceeding by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

No comments were received. The rule is 

adopted as proposed. 

The Class E airspace areas designated 

as surface areas are published in 

paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9T, 

Airspace Designations and Reporting 

Points, signed August 27, 2009, and 

effective September 15, 2009, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace areas 

designated as 700/1,200 ft. transition 

areas are published in paragraph 6005 of 

FAA Order 7400.9T, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

signed August 27, 2009, and effective 

September 15, 2009, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

revising Class E airspace at Dillingham 

Airport, AK, to accommodate amended 

SIAPs, and an ODP at Dillingham 

Airport. This Class E airspace will 

provide adequate controlled airspace 

upward from the surface, and from 700 

and 1,200 feet above the surface, for 

safety and management of IFR 

operations at Dillingham Airport. 

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. Because this is 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. 

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 creates Class E airspace 

sufficient in size to contain aircraft 

executing instrument procedures for the 

Dillingham Airport and represents the 

FAA’s continuing effort to safely and 

efficiently use the navigable airspace.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On Monday, December 21, 2009, the

revise Class E airspace at Iliamna, AK 

(74 FR 67837). 

Interested parties were invited to

proceeding by submitting written

No comments were received. The rule is 

adopted as proposed. 

The Class E airspace areas designated 

as surface areas are published in 

paragraph 6002 of FAA Order 7400.9T, 

Airspace Designations and Reporting 

Points, signed August 27, 2009, and

This action amends Title 14 Code of
