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

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.

3FAA Form 7460–1: Notice of Proposed 

Construction or Alteration. 

With the exception of editorial changes, 

and the changes described above, this 

rule is the same as that proposed in the 

NPRM. 

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

This rulemaking is promulgated 

under the authority described in subtitle

Sovereignty and use of airspace. Under 

that section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to ensure the

Class E airspace sufficient in size to

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.

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.
