The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR), Part 71 by establishing Class E 

airspace for SIAPs operations at 

Floydada Municipal Airport, Floydada, 

TX. The area would be depicted on 

appropriate aeronautical charts. 

Class E airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 

7400.9S, dated October 3, 2008, and 

effective October 31, 2008, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document would be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA 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, 

when promulgated, 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 U.S. 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 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 would 

establish controlled airspace at 

Floydada Municipal Airport, Floydada, 

TX.

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 by modifying Class E 

airspace at Twin Falls, ID. Controlled 

airspace is necessary to accommodate 

aircraft using the new VOR SIAP at 

Twin Falls Joslin Field-Magic Valley 

Regional, Twin Falls, ID. This action 

would enhance the safety and 

management of aircraft operations at 

Twin Falls Joslin Field-Magic Valley 

Regional, Twin Falls, ID. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9S, signed October 3, 2008, 

and effective October 31, 2008, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in this Order. 

The FAA 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. 

Therefore, this proposed 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 will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this proposed rule, 

when promulgated, would 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

Section 106, describes the authority for 

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 would add 

additional controlled airspace at Twin

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

establish Class E airspace at the two 

heliport landing sites servicing aviation 

operations at Oooguruk, AK. The 

privately funded Special instrument 

approaches serving these helipads at 

Oooguruk, AK have been drafted. The 

FAA’s policy is to provide controlled 

airspace at airports serviced by 

instrument procedures. The adoption of 

this proposal would result in 

establishing Class E airspace upward 

from 700 feet (ft.) and 1,200 ft. above the 

surface at the two heliports servicing 

operations at Oooguruk, AK.

the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to the Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR Part 71), which 

would establish Class E airspace at the 

two heliports servicing Oooguruk, AK. 

The intended effect of this proposal is 

to establish Class E airspace upward 

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

surface to contain Instrument Flight 

Rules (IFR) operations at the two 

heliports servicing Oooguruk, AK. 

Two Special IFR arrival procedures 

have been developed for two heliports, 

designated at Ooguruk Drill Site 

Helipad and Oooguruk Tie-In Helipad, 

AK. It is FAA policy to provide 

controlled airspace at airports serviced 

by instrument procedures. This action 

would provide sufficient airspace to 

contain aircraft executing the 

instrument procedures at these two 

heliports. 

This action would result in the 

establishment of Class E airspace 

depicted on affected aeronautical charts. 

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 in FAA 

Order 7400.9S, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, signed October 3, 

2008, and effective October 31, 2008, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

would be subsequently published in the 

Order. 

The FAA 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,
