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.
