45320 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 156 / Tuesday, August 14, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

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 amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

revises Class E airspace at the Ruby 

Airport, Alaska. This Class E airspace is 

revised to accommodate aircraft 

executing new SIAPs, 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 Rules 

(IFR) operations at the Ruby Airport, 

Ruby, 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 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 

Ruby Airport and represents the FAA’s 

continuing effort to safely and 

efficiently use the navigable airspace.
