The Proposal 

The FAA is considering an 

amendment to the Code of Federal 

Regulations (14 CFR part 71), which 

would revise Class E airspace at the 

Ruby Airport, in Ruby, AK. The 

intended effect of this proposal is to 

revise existing Class E airspace upward 

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

surface to contain Instrument Flight 

Rules (IFR) operations at the Ruby 

Airport, Ruby, AK.

Procedures Production and

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 2, 2008 / Proposed Rules 51255 

Maintenance Branch has amended one 

SIAP for the Ruby Airport. The 

amended SIAP is the Area Navigation 

(RNAV) Global Positioning System 

(GPS) Runway (RWY) 21, Amendment 

2. Class E controlled airspace extending 

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

the surface in the Ruby Airport area 

would be revised by this action. The 

proposed airspace is sufficient in size to 

contain aircraft executing the 

instrument procedures at the Ruby 

Airport, Ruby, AK. 

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 7400.9R, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, signed August 15, 

2007, and effective September 15, 2007, 

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 create Class E 

airspace sufficient in size to contain 

aircraft executing instrument 

procedures at the Ruby Airport, AK, and 

represents the FAA’s continuing effort 

to safely and efficiently use the 

navigable airspace.
