Office of Rulemaking, (202) 267–9677, 

to request a copy of Advisory Circular 

No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to the Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR Part 71), which 

would create new Class E airspace at 

Toksook Bay, AK. The intended effect of 

this proposal is to create Class E 

airspace upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 

ft. above the surface to contain 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations 

at Toksook Bay, AK. 

The FAA Instrument Flight 

Procedures Production and 

Maintenance Branch has developed a 

new SIAP for the Toksook Bay Airport. 

The new approach is the Area 

Navigation Global Positioning System 

Runway RWY 34, original. New Class E 

controlled airspace extending upward 

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

surface within the Toksook Bay Airport 

area would be established by this action. 

The proposed airspace is sufficient in 

size to contain aircraft executing the 

new instrument procedure at the 

Toksook Bay Airport. Airspace from 

1,200 ft. AGL and more than 12 miles 

from the shoreline will be excluded 

from this action. That controlled 

airspace outside 12 miles from the 

shoreline within 35 miles of the airport 

will be created in coordination with the 

FAA’s Airspace and Rules, Office of 

System Operations Airspace and AIM, 

by modifying existing Offshore Airspace 

Area; Norton Sound Low Control Area, 

in accordance with FAA Order 7400.2. 

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 7400.9N, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, dated September 

1, 2005, and effective September 15, 

2005, 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. 

69710 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 221 / Thursday, November 17, 2005 / Proposed Rules 

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 create Class E 

airspace sufficient in size to contain 

aircraft executing a new instrument 

procedure at Toksook Bay Airport and 

represents the FAA’s continuing effort 

to safely and efficiently use the 

navigable airspace.
