          - [Docket No. FAA-2005-20029; Airspace Docket No. 04-AAL-25] 

# AGENCY:

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. 

# ACTION:

Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

# SUMMARY:

This action proposes to establish new Class E airspace at Perryville, AK. A new Standard Instrument Approach Procedure (SIAP) and Departure Procedure are being published for the Perryville Airport. There is no existing Class E airspace to contain aircraft executing the new instrument approach at Perryville, AK. Adoption of this proposal would result in the establishment of Class E airspace upward from 700 feet (ft.) and 1,200 ft. above the surface at Perryville, AK.

## The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an amendment to the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR Part 71), which would establish new Class E airspace at Perryville, 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 Perryville, AK. 

The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance Branch has developed a new SIAP and Departure Procedure for the Perryville Airport. The new approach is Area Navigation (Global Positioning System) (RNAV GPS) Runway (RWY) 3, original. The CILAC ONE RNAV Departure will also be established. New Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface within the Perryville Airport area would be created by this action. The proposed airspace is sufficient to contain aircraft executing the new instrument procedures at the Perryville 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 areas 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 approaches at Perryville Airport and represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace.
