14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 96-AAL-19]
Revision of Class E Airspace; Aniak, AK
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action revises Class E airspace at Aniak Airport, AK. The
development of a Global Positioning System (GPS) instrument approach to
RWY 10 at Aniak, AK, has made this action necessary. The intended
effect of this action is to provide adequate controlled airspace for
IFR operations at Aniak Airport, AK.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, January 30, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert van Haastert, System Management
Branch, AAL-538, Federal Aviation Administration, 222 West 7th Avenue,
Box 14, Anchorage, AK 99513-7587; telephone number (907) 271-5863.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On July 31, 1996, a proposal to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise the Class E airspace at
Aniak was published in the Federal Register (61 FR 39919). The
development of a GPS instrument approach procedure to RWY 10 at Aniak
Airport, AK, has made this action necessary.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments to the proposals were received, thus, the rule is adopted
as written.
The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1200 foot
transition areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of Federal Aviation
Administration Order 7400.9D, dated September 4, 1996, and effective
September 16, 1996, which are incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1
(61 FR 48403; September 13, 1996). The Class E airspace designations
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) establishes Class E airspace located at Aniak, AK, to
provide controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet AGL for
aircraft executing instrument landing and departing procedures.
The Federal Aviation Administration 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 will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
