Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 122 / Tuesday, June 29, 2021 / Rules and Regulations promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it modifies the Class E airspace at Anaktuvuk Pass Airport, Anaktuvuk Pass, AK, to ensure the safety and management of IFR
operations at the airport.
History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register 86 FR 18490; April 9, 2021 for Docket No. FAA20210225 to modify the Class E airspace at Anaktuvuk Pass Airport, Anaktuvuk Pass, AK. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
The NPRM for this action proposed to establish Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface at Anaktuvuk Pass Airport.
However, after the publication of the NPRM, the FAA determined that a previous Final Rule 76 FR 78144;
December 16, 2011 for Docket No.
FAA20110867 established Class E
airspace extending upward from 1,200
feet above the surface within a 66-mile radius of the airport. This airspace area was not included in the Class E5
airspace description published in FAA
Order 7400.11E. Since Class E airspace, extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface, already exists for the airport, the FAA is not modifying this airspace area. The airspace area has been added to the Class E5 airspace legal description.
Class E5 airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 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 E airspace designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71
modifies the Class E airspace, extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, at Anaktuvuk Pass Airport, Anaktuvuk Pass, AK. The modification properly sizes the airspace to contain IFR
departures until reaching 1,200 feet above the surface, and IFR arrivals descending below 1,500 feet above the surface. The airspaces circular radius is reduced from 6.4 miles to 4 miles and three areas are added to the 4-mile radius. Two areas northeast of the airport and one area southwest of the airport.
This action also removes the Anaktuvuk Pass NDB from the Class E5
text header and airspace description.
The Navigational Aid NAVAID is not needed to describe the airspace and removal of the NAVAID simplifies the airspaces description.
This action also updates the airports geographical coordinates to lat.

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.
