SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On Monday, December 18, 2006, the 

FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

part 71) to revise Class E airspace 

upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above 

the surface at Red Dog, AK (71 FR 

75686). The action was proposed in 

order to create Class E airspace 

sufficient in size to contain aircraft 

while executing two new SIAPs, and 

one new DP for the Red Dog Airport. 

The new Special approaches are (1) The 

RNAV RNP Runway (RWY) 05, and (2) 

the RNAV RNP RWY 20. The Special DP 

is the IHOPO ONE RNAV RNP 

Departure. Class E controlled airspace 

extending upward from 700 ft. and 

1,200 ft. above the surface in the Red 

Dog Airport area is revised by this 

action. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this proposed rulemaking 

by submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments have 

been received, thus the rule is adopted 

as proposed. 

The area will 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 

700/1,200 ft. transition areas are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9P, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, dated September 

1, 2006, and effective September 15, 

2006, which is incorporated by 

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 

airspace designation listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

revises Class E airspace at the Red Dog 

Airport, Alaska. This Class E airspace is 

revised to accommodate aircraft 

executing two new Special SIAPs, and 

one new Special DP, and will be 

depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot 

reference. The intended effect of this 

rule is to provide adequate controlled 

airspace for Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) 

operations at the Red Dog airport, Red 

Dog, Alaska. 

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. Since this 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, 


rmajette on PROD1PC67 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 50 / Thursday, March 15, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 12081 

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 

Red Dog Airport and represents the 

FAA’s continuing effort to safely and 

efficiently use the navigable airspace.

Change of Controlling Agency for 

Restricted Area R–6601; Fort A.P. Hill,

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action updates the name 

of the controlling agency for Restricted 

Area R–6601, Fort A.P. Hill, VA. The 

FAA is taking this action to reflect the 

correct facility name. This is an 

administrative change that does not 

alter the boundaries, designated 

altitudes, time of designation, or 

activities conducted within R–6601. 

DATES: Effective Dates: 0901 UTC, May

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 73 by 

changing the name of the controlling 

agency for Restricted Area R–6601, Fort 

A.P. Hill, VA, from ‘‘FAA, Potomac 

Approach,’’ to ‘‘FAA, Potomac 

TRACON.’’ This change is 

administrative only and does not affect 

the boundaries, designated altitudes, or 

activities conducted within the 

restricted areas. Therefore, notice and 

public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) 

is unnecessary. 

Section 73.66 of Title 14 CFR part 73 

was republished in FAA Order 7400.8N, 

dated February 16, 2007. 

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. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation 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. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with 311d., 

FAA Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures.’’ This 

airspace action is not expected to cause 

any potentially significant 

environmental impacts, and no 

extraordinary circumstances exist that 

warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
