RIN 2120–AA66 

Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Anaktuvuk Pass, AK 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action modifies the Class 

E airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at Anaktuvuk Pass 

Airport, Anaktuvuk Pass, AK. This 

action updates the airport’s geographic 

coordinates and removes the Anaktuvuk 

Pass NDB from the Class E5 text header 

and airspace description. The airspace 

supports instrument flight rules (IFR) 

operations at the airport. 

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, October 7, 

2021. 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 7400.11 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, 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 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 122 / Tuesday, June 29, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 34131 

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 modifies the 

Class E airspace at Anaktuvuk Pass 

Airport, Anaktuvuk Pass, AK, to ensure 

the safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register (86 FR 18490; April 9, 2021) for 

Docket No. FAA–2021–0225 to modify 

the Class E airspace at Anaktuvuk Pass 

Airport, Anaktuvuk Pass, AK. Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this rulemaking effort by submitting 

written comments on the proposal to the 

FAA. No comments were received. 

The NPRM for this action proposed to 

establish Class E airspace extending 

upward from 1,200 feet above the 

surface at Anaktuvuk Pass Airport. 

However, after the publication of the 

NPRM, the FAA determined that a 

previous Final Rule (76 FR 78144; 

December 16, 2011) for Docket No. 

FAA–2011–0867 established Class E 

airspace extending upward from 1,200 

feet above the surface within a 66-mile 

radius of the airport. This airspace area 

was not included in the Class E5 

airspace description published in FAA 

Order 7400.11E. Since Class E airspace, 

extending upward from 1,200 feet above 

the surface, already exists for the 

airport, the FAA is not modifying this 

airspace area. The airspace area has 

been added to the Class E5 airspace 

legal description. 

Class E5 airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, 

and effective September 15, 2020, 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. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.11E, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, 

and effective September 15, 2020. FAA 

Order 7400.11E is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

modifies the Class E airspace, extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface, 

at Anaktuvuk Pass Airport, Anaktuvuk 

Pass, AK. The modification properly 

sizes the airspace to contain IFR 

departures until reaching 1,200 feet 

above the surface, and IFR arrivals 

descending below 1,500 feet above the 

surface. The airspace’s circular radius is 

reduced from 6.4 miles to 4 miles and 

three areas are added to the 4-mile 

radius. Two areas northeast of the 

airport and one area southwest of the 

airport. 

This action also removes the 

Anaktuvuk Pass NDB from the Class E5 

text header and airspace description. 

The Navigational Aid (NAVAID) is not 

needed to describe the airspace and 

removal of the NAVAID simplifies the 

airspace’s description. 

This action also updates the airport’s 

geographical coordinates to ‘‘lat. 

68°08′01′′ N, long. 151°44′36′′ W.’’ 

FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on 

September 15. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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, is non-controversial, and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. 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, would 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 FAA 

Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures,’’ 

paragraph 5–6.5a. This airspace action 

is not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant the preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
