SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Monday, February 7, 2005, the FAA proposed to revise part 71 of
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to create new Class E
airspace upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface at
Perryville, AK (70 FR 6378). The action was proposed in order to add
Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain aircraft while executing
a new Standard Instrument Approach Procedure and Departure Procedure
for the Perryville Airport. The new approach is Area Navigation-Global
Positioning System (RNAV GPS) Runway (RWY) 3, original. The new
departure procedure is the CILAC ONE RNAV Departure. New Class E
controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet and 1,200 feet above
the surface in the Perryville Airport area is established by this
action. Interested parties were invited to participate in this
rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to
the FAA. No public comments have been received; thus the rule is
adopted as proposed.
The area will 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 of 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 designation listed in
this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This revision to 14 CFR part 71 establishes Class E airspace at
Perryville, Alaska. This additional Class E airspace was created to
accommodate aircraft executing a new SIAP and Departure Procedure and
will be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. The
intended effect of this rule is to provide adequate controlled airspace
for IFR operations at Perryville Airport, Perryville, Alaska.
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.
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 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.
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
[[Page 23787]]
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 creates Class E airspace sufficient in size
to contain aircraft executing new and existing instrument procedures
for the Perryville Airport and represents the FAA's continuing effort
to safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace.
