SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On Wednesday, December 16, 2009, 

the FAA published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking in the Federal Register to 

establish Class E airspace at Shaktoolik, 

AK (74 FR 66593). 

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 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 

establishing Class E airspace at 

Shaktoolik Airport, AK, to 

accommodate new RNAV SIAPs, and an 

ODP at Shaktoolik Airport. This Class E 

airspace will provide adequate 

controlled airspace upward from 700 

and 1,200 feet above the surface, for 

safety and management of IFR 

operations at Shaktoolik 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 

Shaktoolik Airport and represents the 

FAA’s continuing effort to safely and 

efficiently use the navigable airspace.
