Proposed Establishment of Class E

Airspace; Buckland, AK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class

E airspace at Buckland, AK. The

development of a Global Positioning

System (GPS) instrument approach to

RWY 10 has made this action necessary.

This action will change the airport

status from Visual Flight Rules (VFR) to

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). The area

would be depicted on aeronautical

charts for pilot reference. The intended

effect of this proposal is to provide

adequate controlled airspace for IFR

operations at Buckland, AK.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before August 19, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on the

proposal in triplicate to: Manager,

System Management Branch, AAL–530,

are specifically invited on the overall

regulatory, aeronautical, economic,

environmental, and energy-related

aspects of the proposal.

Communications should identify the

airspace docket number and be

submitted in triplicate to the address

listed above. Commenters wishing the

FAA to acknowledge receipt of their

comments on this notice must submit

with those comments a self-addressed,

stamped postcard on which the

following statement is made:

application procedure.

The Proposal

The FAA is considering an

amendment to part 71 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to

establish Class E airspace at Buckland,

AK. The status of Buckland Airport will

change from VFR to IFR. 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 of FAA

Order 7400.9C, dated August 17, 1995,

and effective September 16, 1995, which

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1 (58 FR 36298; July 6, 1993). The

Class E airspace designation listed in

this document would be published

subsequently in the Order. The FAA has

determined that these proposed

regulations only involve 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
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 128 / Tuesday, July 2, 1996 / Proposed Rules 34399

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities under the

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
