Abstract
This action revises Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface at Point Hope, AK. The FAA has developed two new Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) for the Point Hope Airport. Class E airspace upward from 1,200 feet above the surface is necessary to ensure that Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations remain within controlled airspace when executing the new SIAPs. The current Class E airspace is not sufficient to contain the two new SIAPs. The intended effect of this rule is to create additional controlled Class E airspace necessary to contain the new SIAPs.
