Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15, 2020. FAA Order 7400.11E is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points.
The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 by modifying the Class D airspace at Kodiak Airport, Kodiak, AK. The Class D is not properly sized to contain departing IFR aircraft to 700 feet above the surface or arriving IFR aircraft descending below 1,000 feet above the surface. To properly contain IFR departures, the Class D radius should be increased from 3.1 miles to 4.4 miles, excluding the mountainous terrain west and northwest of the airport and the airspace around Trident Basin Airport.

Additionally, this action proposes to remove the Class E airspace, designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E
surface area, east of the airport. This airspace is no longer required to contain arriving IFR aircraft.
Further, this action proposes to modify the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, by increasing the size of the area east of the airport to properly contain IFR
aircraft performing the procedure turn maneuver for the VOR RWY 26
approach.
Lastly, this action proposes to update the geographic coordinates in the third line of the Class D text header to lat.
574459 N, long. 1522938 W and update the term Airport/Facility Directory to Chart Supplement in the last sentence of the Class D airspace description.
Class D, Class E4, and Class E5
airspace designations are published in paragraphs 5000, 6004, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15, 2020, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is published yearly and effective on September 15.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses 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, is non-controversial, and unlikely to result in adverse or negative comments. 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, would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and
