[Docket No. FAA-2006-25905; Airspace Docket No. 06-AAL-30]
RIN 2120-AA66


Revocation of Low Altitude Reporting Point; AK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action revokes the HERRY as an Alaskan low altitude 
reporting point. The FAA has determined that this reporting point 
should be removed from the National Airspace System (NAS), since the 
HERRY is no longer used as a low altitude reporting point.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, March 15, 2007. The Director of 
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 
publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In October 2006, it was determined that the HERRY low altitude 
reporting point was no longer required to support the NAS and is no 
longer used by the FAA.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by revoking the HERRY low altitude reporting point. 
Accordingly, since this action only involves a change in the legal 
description, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 533(b) are 
unnecessary.
    Alaskan low altitude reporting points are published in paragraph 
7004 of FAA Order 7400.9P dated September 1, 2006, and effective 
September 15, 2006, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. 
The low altitude reporting points listed in this document will be 
removed subsequently in the Order.
    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. 
Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory 
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' 
under Department of Transportation (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.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical 
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance 
with FAA Order 1050.1E, paragraph 311(a), ``Environmental Impacts: 
Policies and Procedures.'' This airspace action is not expected to 
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no 
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an 
environmental assessment.
