### 8627 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 31 / Tuesday, February 15, 2011 / Rules and Regulations

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 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 the Shungnak Airport, AK, to accommodate amended SIAPs. 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 the Shungnak 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 Shungnak Airport and represents the FAA’s continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  History

On Monday, December 13, 2010, the FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register to revise Class E airspace at Platinum AK (75 FR 77572).

Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.

Subsequent to the publications, the FAA noted that the geographic coordinates for the Platinum Airport cited in the NPRM were not rounded. This action corrects that error.

The Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1,200 ft. transition areas are published in paragraph 6005 of 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 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 the Platinum Airport, AK, to accommodate one new SIAP at the Platinum 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 the Platinum Airport. The 1,200 foot controlled airspace will extend into the Norton Sound Low Offshore Airspace Area and Control Area 1234L and those airspaces will be redefined in a future rulemaking action.

**Safe, Efficient Use and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace; OMB Approval**  **of Information Collection**

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

**ACTION :**  Final rule; OMB approval of information collection.

**SUMMARY :**  This document announces the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB’s) approval of the information collection requirements in the final rule, published on July 21, 2010, entitled Safe, Efficient Use and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace.

**DATES :**  The final rule published on July 21, 2010 with an effective date of January 18, 2011. The FAA received OMB approval for the information collection requirements in the final rule on January 14, 2011. The information collection requirements in the final rule will become effective on February 15,
2011.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  For technical questions about the final rule, contact Ellen Crum, Air Traffic Systems Operations, Airspace and Rules Group, AJR–33, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20591; telephone (202) 267–8783; facsimile (202) 267–9328.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION** On July 21, 2010, the final rule entitled Safe, Efficient Use and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace, was published in the Federal Register

. 1 In that rule, the FAA amended the regulations governing objects that may affect the navigable airspace to incorporate case law and legislative action, and to simplify the rule language.

In section III 2 of the preamble to the final rule, the FAA noted that affected parties were not required to comply with the new information collection requirements until OMB approved the FAA’s request to collect the information.

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, the FAA submitted a copy of the new information collection requirements to OMB for its review. On January 14, 2011, OMB approved the FAA’s request under Control Number 2120–0745, which will expire January 31, 2013.

Today’s notice is being published to inform affected parties of OMB’s approval, and to announce that as of the effective date of this notice, affected parties must comply with the new information collection requirements in 14 CFR 77.7, 77.9, and 77.11.

As part of OMB’s approval, it advised the FAA that because the form 3 that will be used to collect the new information was previously approved under existing Control Number 2120– 0001, the FAA must revise 2120–0001 to incorporate the new information collection requirements and submit the revision to OMB for approval. Accordingly, the FAA will prepare the revision and publish it in the Federal Register for public comment. The FAA will consider the comments it receives before finalizing the revision and sending it to OMB for approval. Meanwhile, affected parties must comply with the information collection requirements in the final rule, Safe, Efficient Use and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace, according to OMB’s approval under Control Number 2120–
0745.
