55532 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 183 / Thursday, September 22, 2005 / Rules and Regulations 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class 

D airspace and revises Class E airspace 

at Big Delta, Allen Army Airfield (BIG) 

on Ft. Greely, Alaska. This action was 

taken at the request of the United States 

Army to enable them to establish the 

appropriate airspace to open an Airport 

Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) at BIG to 

support operations of the U.S. Army 

Space and Missile Defense Command. 

This action also enlarges Class E 

Airspace from 700 ft. above the surface 

to the point at which it is sufficient to 

contain aircraft executing standard 

instrument approach procedures (SIAP). 

The new BIG ATCT is being established 

to provide airport traffic control service 

to aircraft operating at BIG due to 

increased airport operations caused by 

an expanded homeland security mission 

at Ft. Greely. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, December 

22, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On Monday, April 18, 2005, the FAA 

proposed to revise part 71 of the Federal 

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to 

establish Class D airspace and to revise 

Class E airspace from the surface at Big 

Delta, Allen Army Airfield, Fort Greely, 

Alaska (70 FR 20096). The action was 

proposed in order to add Class D 

airspace sufficient in size to provide 

airport traffic control at BIG. The United 

States Army Space and Missile Defense 

Command is the managing agency for 

BIG. They plan to open a new ATCT on 

December 22, 2005. The United States 

Army is taking this action in order to 

provide airport traffic control due to an 

increase in airport traffic caused by an 

expanded homeland security mission at 

Ft. Greely. Interested parties were 

invited to participate in this rulemaking 

proceeding by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

One letter was received with comments. 

The commenter, Alaska Airmen’s 

Association, requested an exclusion 

corridor, to the west of BIG, through 

Class D airspace at and below 500 ft. 

above ground level (AGL), for aircraft 

landing at Delta Junction Airport (D66). 

The FAA has considered the Alaska 

Airmen’s Association request and agrees 

that a low altitude exclusion area to 

allow access to D66, to and from the 

northwest, without communication with 

BIG ATCT during visual flight rules 

(VFR) conditions is acceptable. When 

conditions are below basic VFR (1,000 

ft. ceiling and/or 3 miles visibility) a 

Special VFR Clearance will still be 

required within Class E or D airspace. 

D66 is contained within Class E airspace 

extending from the surface upward to 

the base of Class D airspace. 

The Alaska Airmen’s Association also 

requested an exclusion corridor from 

Donnelly Dome to the Big Delta Very 

High Frequency Omni-directional Radio 

Range (BIG) 260 radial at 10 nautical 

miles (nm), or, if this is not feasible, an 

exclusion area through Class D airspace 

along the Richardson Highway under 

500 AGL from the BIG 160 radial at 5 

nm direct to BIG 260 radial at 10 nm. 

The FAA has considered this proposal. 

The first option, an exclusion corridor 

from Donnelly Dome to the BIG 260 

radial at 10 nm, will not be feasible 

because this routing would require the 

U.S. Army to discontinue use of 

Restricted Area 2202A (R2202A) within 

the confines of the proposed corridor. 

U.S. Army has informed the FAA that 

the airspace currently designated as 

R2202 cannot be made available for use 

as a non-radio corridor for aircraft 

during periods when R2202A is active 

without impacting training and testing 

negatively. As to the second option 

proposed, for a no-radio route from the 

BIG 160 radial at 5 nm to the BIG 260 

at 10 nm, the close proximity of this 

proposed corridor to aircraft operating 

to/from Allen Army Airfield, and the 

security issues associated with 

homeland defense activities at Fort 

Greely preclude approval. 

The area will be depicted on 

aeronautical charts for pilot reference. 

The coordinates for this airspace docket 

are based on North American Datum 83. 

The airspace area designated as Class D 

is published in paragraph 5000 of FAA 

order 7400.9N, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, dated September 

1, 2005 and effective September 16, 

2005 which is incorporated by reference 

in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 

areas designated as surface areas are 

published in paragraph 6002 and 6004 

of FAA Order 7400.9N, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated September 1, 2005, and effective 

September 16, 2005, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace areas 

designated as 700/1200 foot transition 

areas are published in paragraph 6005 of 

FAA Order 7400.9N, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated September 1, 2005 and effective 

September 16, 2005 which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be revised subsequently in the 

Order. 

The Rule 

This rule establishes Class D airspace, 

and revises Class E airspace at BIG, Ft. 

Greely, Alaska. Class E airspace from 

the surface is incorporated into the rule 

to ensure that D66 remains within 

controlled airspace extending upwards 

from the surface. The BIG ATCT will 

operate continuously. Class E airspace 

that is an extension to the Class D 

airspace from the surface is revised to 

align with the new Class D airspace and 

is enlarged to encompass that area 

needed to provide air traffic control 

services to aircraft executing standard 

instrument approach procedures to BIG. 

The intended effect of this rule is to 

provide adequate controlled airspace for 

the BIG ATCT to provide airport traffic 

control services to VFR and Instrument 

Flight Rule (IFR) aircraft at BIG, Fort 

Greely, Alaska. 

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. 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. 

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 creates Class D airspace 

sufficient in size to provide airport 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 183 / Thursday, September 22, 2005 / Rules and Regulations 55533 

traffic control services, and Class E 

airspace sufficient to contain aircraft 

executing standard instrument approach 

procedures at BIG, Alaska, and 

represents the FAA’s continuing effort 

to safely and efficiently use the 

navigable airspace.
