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 Allakaket Airport in Allakaket, AK, 

to accommodate the revision of the 

RNAV (GPS) Runway 23 instrument 

approach procedure at the Allakaket 

Airport. This Class E airspace would 

provide adequate controlled airspace 

upward from the surface (E2) to 700 feet 

and 1,200 feet (E5) above the surface, for 

the safety and management of IFR 

operations at the Allakaket Airport. 

The Class E2 airspace designated as 

surface areas and the Class E5 airspace 

designated as 700/1200 foot transition 

areas are published in paragraphs 6002 

and 6005, respectively, 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, 


jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
45478 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 146 / Friday, July 29, 2011 / Proposed Rules 

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 Allakaket Airport, 

Allakaket, AK, and represents the FAA’s 

continuing effort to safely and 

efficiently use the navigable airspace.
