Establishment of Class E Airspace;

Kake, AK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class

E airspace at Kake Airport, AK. The

development of non-directional beacon

(NDB) and Global Positioning System

(GPS) instrument approaches to runway

(RWY) 10 at Kake, AK, have made this

action necessary. The airport status will

change from Visual Flight Rules (VFR)

to Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). The

intended effect of this action is to

provide adequate controlled airspace for

IFR operations at Kake Airport, AK.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, May 22,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On January 24, 1997, a proposal to

amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish

Class E airspace at Kake was published

in the Federal Register (62 FR 3632).

The development of NDB and GPS

instrument approach procedures to

RWY 10 at Kake Airport, AK, have made

this action necessary.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments to the proposals were

received, thus the rule is adopted as

written.

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 of

FAA Order 7400.9D, Airspace

Designations and Reporting Points,

dated September 4, 1996, and effective

September 16, 1996. Paragraph 6005 is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1 (61 FR 48403; September 13, 1996).

The Class E airspace designations listed

in this document will be published

subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) establishes Class E airspace

located at Kake, AK, to provide

controlled airspace extending upward

from 700 feet AGL for aircraft executing

instrument landing and departing

procedures. The status of Kake Airport

will change from VFR to IFR.

The Federal Aviation Administration

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 will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.
