Docket No. 13–AAL–2] 

Establishment of Class E Airspace; 

Akutan, AK 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class 

E airspace at Akutan Airport, Akutan, 

AK. Controlled airspace is necessary to 

accommodate aircraft using the new 

Area Navigation (RNAV) Global 

Positioning System (GPS) standard 

instrument approach procedures at the 

airport. This action enhances the safety 

and management of aircraft operations 

at the airport. 

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, 

December 12, 2013. The Director of the 

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under 

1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual 

revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 

publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On July 29, 2013, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to 

establish controlled airspace at Akutan 

Airport, Akutan, AK (78 FR 45477). 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005, of FAA 

Order 7400.9X dated August 7, 2013, 

and effective September 15, 2013, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in that Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by 

establishing Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

within a 3.5-mile radius of Akutan 

Airport, Akutan, AK, with a segment 

extending from the 3.5-mile radius to 

5.5 miles northwest of the airport. This 

action ensures the safety and 

management of aircraft operations at the 

airport. 

The FAA has determined 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 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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified this rule, when promulgated, 

does 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 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 188 / Friday, September 27, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 59623 

U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 

discusses 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 I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it establishes 

controlled airspace at the Akutan 

Airport, Akutan, AK. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 311a. 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.

Emergency Medical Equipment 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; notice of policy 

change and availability. 

SUMMARY: This action supplements the 

preamble published in the Federal 

Register on April 12, 2001 (66 FR 

19028). The FAA has reviewed data for 

automated external defibrillators and 

enhanced emergency medical kits to 

amend the ‘‘no go’’ provision. Data 

show that allowing these items to be 

incomplete, missing, or inoperative for 

one flight in accordance with the FAA 

master minimum equipment list does 

not adversely affect aviation safety. This 

action provides notice of the data 

finding and makes available the 

corresponding policy change for the 

one-flight relief for use of emergency 

medical equipment. 

DATES: This action becomes effective 

September 27, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

final rule entitled, ‘‘Emergency Medical 

Equipment,’’ published on April 12, 

2001 (66 FR 19028), the preamble states 

that automated external defibrillators 

(AED) should be, and enhanced 

emergency medical kits (EMK) should 

remain, ‘‘no-go’’ items. See 66 FR 19033. 

That final rule’s preamble also states 

that the current provision under 

§ 121.279(a), with adoption of 

§ 121.803(a) without the words ‘‘unless 

authorized by the Administrator’’ would 

remain until the FAA developed more 

experience with the enhanced EMKs 

and AEDs. Id. 

As described in the background 

section, the FAA has data obtained from 

the airline industry to demonstrate that 

use of the emergency medical 

equipment required by § 121.803(a) 

would rarely be used on back-to-back 

flights and therefore has allowed relief 

for one flight with an incomplete, 

missing, or inoperative Emergency 

Medical Kit (EMK) or automated 

external defibrillator (AED). A copy of 

Master Minimum Equipment List 

(MMEL) Policy Letter (PL) 73, Revision 

5, Relief for Emergency Medical 

Equipment, is available for review on 

the Flight Standards Information 

Management System found on the 

FAA’s Web site at: http:// 

fsims.faa.gov/. A copy will also be 

posted to the docket for this action. 

Background 

FAA PL–73, MMEL Relief for 

Emergency Medical Equipment, was 

originally issued on March 4, 1994. The 

PL was created to provide standardized 

MMEL requirements for the deferral of 

approved emergency medical 

equipment, including EMK, First Aid 

Kits (FAK), and AEDs required by 14 

CFR § 121.803. The purpose of the PL 

has remained consistent throughout its 

five revisions, although the relief 

specifics have been further defined. 

Revision 1 reformatted the PL to 

conform to PL standardization 

requirements. Revision 2 expanded the 

relief for FAKs to include relief for all 

emergency medical equipment. Revision 

3 clarified that emergency medical 

equipment in excess of the regulatory 

requirements can be inoperative. 

Revision 4 provided three-flight limited 

dispatch authority for all incomplete, 

missing, or inoperative EMKs, FAKs, 

and AEDs that do not meet the 

minimum regulatory requirements. 

Revision 5 reduced the limited dispatch 

authority available from three flights to 

one flight in all situations. 

On April 6, 2001, the FAA issued the 

final rule requiring certain aircraft 

operating under part 121 to carry EMKs, 

FAKs, and AEDs. See 66 FR 19028. The 

final rule’s preamble reflected the FAA’s 

long-standing position that emergency 

medical equipment items are ‘‘no-go’’ 

items and AEDs should also be 

considered ‘‘no-go’’ items meaning that 

if they are not operating pursuant to the 

regulatory standard then the flight 

should not be permitted to takeoff. In 

that final rule, the FAA also indicated
