    IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous Amendments

    ACTION: Final rule.

    SUMMARY: This amendment adopts miscellaneous amendments to the required 
    IFR (instrument flight rules) altitudes and changeover points for 
    certain Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes for which a 
    minimum or maximum en route authorized IFR altitude is prescribed. This 
    regulatory action is needed because of changes occurring in the 
    National Airspace System. These changes are designed to provide for the 
    safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace under instrument 
    conditions in the affected areas.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: March 3, 1994.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
    Paul J. Best, Flight Procedures Standards Branch (AFS-420), Technical 
    Programs Division, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation 
    Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; 
    telephone: (202) 267-8277.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to Part 95 of the Federal 
    Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95) amends, suspends, or revokes IFR 
    altitudes governing the operation of all aircraft in flight over a 
    specified route or any portion of that route, as well as the changeover 
    points (COPs) for Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes as 
    prescribed in Part 95. The specified IFR altitudes, when used in 
    conjunction with the prescribed changeover points for those routes, 
    ensure navigation aid coverage that is adequate for safe flight 
    operations and free of frequency interference. The reasons and 
    circumstances that create the need for this amendment involve matters 
    of flight safety and operational efficiency in the National Airspace 
    System, are related to published aeronautical charts that are essential 
    to the user, and provide for the safe and efficient use of the 
    navigable airspace. In addition, those various reasons or circumstances 
    require making this amendment effective before the next scheduled 
    charting and publication date of the flight information to assure its 
    timely availability to the user. The effective date of this amendment 
    reflects those considerations. In view of the close and immediate 
    relationship between these regulatory changes and safety in air 
    commerce, I find that notice and public procedure before adopting this 
    amendment are unnecessary, impracticable, and contrary to the public 
    interest and that good cause exists for making the amendment effective 
    in less than 30 days. 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 ``major rule'' under 
    Executive Order 12291; (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. For the same reason, the FAA 
    certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic 
    impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of 
    the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
