Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 174 / Friday, September 9, 2005 / Proposed Rules 53595 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to the Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR part 71), by 

establishing Class E airspace at Arctic 

Village, AK. The intended effect of this 

proposal is to establish Class E airspace 

upward from 700 feet (ft.) above the 

surface within a 6.4 nautical mile (NM) 

radius of the Arctic Village Airport and 

within 3 NM each side of the 040° 

bearing from the Arctic Village airport 

extending from the 6.4 NM radius to 

14.8 NM North of the airport and that 

airspace extending upward from 1,200 

ft. above the surface within a 65 NM 

radius of the airport. 

The FAA Instrument Flight 

Procedures Production and 

Maintenance Branch has developed two 

SIAPs for the Arctic Village Airport, 

along with a departure procedure and 

has established takeoff weather minima. 

The new approaches are: (1) Area 

Navigation (Global Positioning System) 

(RNAV (GPS)) Runway (RWY) 02, 

original, and (2) RNAV (GPS) RWY 20, 

original. Establishment of Class E 

controlled airspace extending upward 

from 700 ft and 1,200 ft above the 

surface is needed to provide air traffic 

control services and would be created 

by this action. The proposed airspace is 

sufficient to contain aircraft executing 

the new instrument and departure 

procedures for the Arctic Village 

Airport. 

The area would be depicted on 

aeronautical charts for pilot reference. 

The coordinates for this airspace docket 

are based on North American Datum 83. 

The Class E airspace area designated as 

700/1200 foot transition areas are 

published in paragraph 6005 in FAA 

Order 7400.9M, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, dated August 30, 

2004, and effective September 16, 2004, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations 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 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 

proposes to establish Class E airspace 

sufficient to contain aircraft executing 

instrument procedures at Arctic Village 

Airport and represents the FAA’s 

continuing effort to safely and 

efficiently manage the navigable 

airspace.
