11480 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 47 / Thursday, March 11, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

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 Kaltag Airport, Kaltag, AK, 

and represents the FAA’s continuing 

effort to safely and efficiently use the 

navigable airspace.

(202) 267–8783. Communications must 

identify both docket numbers for this 

notice. Persons interested in being

11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

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 E airspace at 

Wainwright Airport, AK, to 

accommodate four amended SIAPs and 

the development of one ODP at 

Wainwright Airport. This Class E 

airspace would provide adequate 

controlled airspace upward from 700 

and 1,200 feet above the surface, for the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations at Wainwright Airport. 

The Class E airspace areas designated 

as 700/1200 foot transition areas are 

published in paragraph 6005 in 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 

would be subsequently published 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. 

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 Wainwright Airport, 

Wainwright, AK, and represents the 

FAA’s continuing effort to safely and 

efficiently use the navigable airspace.
