The Proposal

The FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR

part 71 by revising Class E airspace at

Ambler, AK, due to the establishment of

a new GPS instrument approach

procedure to RWY 36. The intended

effect of this proposal is to provide

additional controlled airspace for IFR

operations at Ambler, AK.

The area would be depicted on

aeronautical charts for pilot reference.

The coordinates for this airspace docket

are based on North American Datum 83.

The Class E airspace areas designated as

700/1200 foot transition areas are

published in paragraph 6005 in FAA

Order 7400.9G, Airspace Designations

and Reporting Points, dated September

1, 1999, and effective September 16,

1999, which is incorporated by

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class 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 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 Proposed Amendment

In consideration of the foregoing, the

Federal Aviation Administration
