## Abstract

This action establishes Class E airspace in the Mentasta Lake/ Mountains Area, AK. A need was identified to operate via Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) from Tok, AK off-airways, to/from Anchorage, AK. Class E airspace did not exist below 14,500 feet in the Mentasta Lake/ Mountains Area, AK to allow Anchorage ARTCC to provide IFR enroute services. This rule results in new Class E airspace upward from 1,200 feet (ft.) above the surface in the Mentasta Lake/Mountains Area, AK.
