14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-AWA-4]
Modification of the El Paso International Airport, TX, and the
Lincoln Municipal Airport, NE, Class C Airspace Areas and Establishment
of the Lincoln Municipal Airport, NE, Class E Airspace Area
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This rule modifies the El Paso International Airport, TX, and
the Lincoln Municipal Airport, NE, Class C airspace areas. This action
will amend the effective hours to coincide with the associated radar
approach control facility's hours of operation. This action will not
change the designated boundaries or altitudes of these Class C airspace
areas. Class C airspace areas are predicated on an operational air
traffic control tower (ATCT) serviced by a radar approach control
facility. In addition, this action establishes Class E airspace at
Lincoln Municipal Airport, NE, when the associated radar approach
control facility is not in operation.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, March 30, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On December 2, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the El Paso
International Airport, TX, and the Lincoln Municipal Airport, NE, Class
C airspace areas and establish Class E airspace at Lincoln Municipal
Airport, NE (59 FR 63940). Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments objecting to the
proposal were received. Except for editorial changes, this amendment is
the same as that proposed in the notice. Class C and E airspace
designations are published in paragraphs 4000 and 6002, respectively,
of FAA Order 7400.9B dated July 18, 1994, and effective September 16,
1994, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class C
and E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) modifies the El Paso International Airport, TX, and the
Lincoln Municipal Airport, NE, Class C airspace areas by amending the
effective hours to coincide with the associated radar approach control
facility's hours of operation. This action will not change the
designated boundaries or altitudes of these Class C airspace areas. In
addition, this action establishes the Lincoln Municipal Airport, NE,
Class E airspace area when the radar approach control facility is not
in operation to provide controlled airspace for instrument procedures.
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.
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 [[Page 5571]] 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 will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-AGL-12]
Alteration of VOR Federal Airway V-36
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This rule amends Federal Airway V-36 by extending the airway
from Sault Ste Marie, MI, to Thunder Bay, ON, Canada, via Wawa, ON,
Canada. Modifying the airway will simplify routings for air traffic
transitioning in that airspace from the United States to Canada. In
addition, the airspace designation will be changed to reflect the
relocation of the Toronto, ON, Canada, Very High Frequency
Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME).
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, March 30, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On October 11, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) by extending V-36 from
Sault Ste Marie, MI, to Thunder Bay, ON, Canada, via Wawa, ON, Canada
(59 FR 51395). Interested parties were invited to participate in this
rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to
the FAA. No comments objecting to the proposal were received. Except
for editorial changes, this amendment is the same as that proposed in
the notice. Domestic VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph
6010(a) of FAA Order 7400.9B dated July 18, 1994, and effective
September 16, 1994, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The airway listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
modifies V-36 by extending the airway from Sault Ste Marie, MI, to
Thunder Bay, ON, Canada, via Wawa, ON, Canada, excluding the airspace
in Canada. Extending the airway has become necessary because of the
volume of air traffic utilizing V-36. This action will simplify
routings and reduce the workload for pilots and controllers. In
addition, the airspace designation will be changed to reflect the
relocation of the Toronto, ON, Canada, VOR/DME.
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.
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

will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
