[Airspace Docket No. 95–AAL–3]

Alteration of Class E Airspace; Nome

and Unalakleet, AK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration [FAA], DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment amends the

Class E2 airspace at Unalakleet, AK, and

Class E5 airspace area at Nome, and

Unalakleet, Alaska, to provide

controlled airspace for aircraft executing

the Standard Instrument Approach

Procedure (SIAP) at the Nome and

Unalakleet Airports. The areas will be

depicted on aeronautical charts to

provide a reference for pilots operating

under VFR.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 15,

1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On July 14,1995, the FAA proposed to

amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by

amending the Class E2 surface areas and

the Class E5 airspace at Nome and

Unalakleet, AK (60 FR 37969). This

action was to provide controlled

airspace for newly developed

Microwave Landing System (MLS)

approaches at Nome and Unalakleet;

and a Global Positioning System (GPS)

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) procedure

at the Unalakleet Airport. The

additional airspace will provide

required controlled airspace for aircraft

operating under IFR procedures. The

area would be depicted on appropriate

aeronautical charts thereby enabling

pilots to circumnavigate the area or

otherwise comply with IFR procedures.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

One comment objecting to the Nome,

AK, Class E2 proposal was received.

The FAA has reevaluated the airspace

requirements for the Nome MLS

approach to runway 9 and determined

that sufficient Class E2 airspace exists

and therefore, withdraws the proposal

to expand the Nome, AK, Class E2

airspace at this time. No other

comments were received. The Class E

airspace designations for surface areas

of an airport are published in paragraph

6002 of FAA Order 7400.9C, dated

August 17, 1995, and effective

September 16, 1995, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1, and Class E airspace designations

for airspace areas extending upward

from 700 feet or more above the surface

of the earth are published in paragraph

6005 of FAA Order 7400.9C, dated

August 17, 1995, and effective

September 16, 1995, 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.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR

part 71) revises the Class E2 surface area

at Unalakleet, AK, and revises the Class

E5 airspace at Nome and Unalakleet,

AK. This action will provide required

controlled airspace for IFR procedures

at the Nome and Unalakleet Airports

and allow charting of the airspace that

will enable pilots to circumnavigate the

area or otherwise comply with IFR

procedures.

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. Therefore, this regulation—(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.
