SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On September 27, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to extend Colored Federal
Airways G-10 and R-99 and realign Colored Federal Airway B-37 as a
result the decommissioning of the Quinhagak, AK, VOR/DME, realign
Federal Airway V-328 and remove a segment of V-308 in Alaska (59 FR
49220).
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 and the removal of ``via INT Campbell Lake NDB
032 deg. and Skwentna, AK, NDB 111 deg. bearings'' from Colored Federal
Airway G-8, and a change to Federal Airway V-328 from ``Dillingham, AK,
to Kipnuk'' to ``INT Dillingham 295 deg. and Kipnuk, AK 099 deg.
radials, to Kipnuk,'' this amendment is the same as that proposed in
the notice. Colored Federal Airways are published in paragraphs
6009(a), 6009(b) and 6009(d), respectively, and Alaskan VOR Federal
airways are published in paragraph 6010(b), 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 Colored Federal airways and the
Alaskan VOR Federal airways listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
extends Colored Federal Airways G-10, R-99, and realigns Colored
Federal Airway B-37 as a result of the decommissioning of the Cape
Spencer Marine NDB. Colored Federal Airways G-10 and R-99 will be
extended and will include an extension of G-10 from Woody Island to
Kachemak. King Salmon, AK, NDB was inadvertently used in the
descriptions of Colored Federal Airways G-8 and G-12, and as a result
of this rule, Saldo, AK, NDB will replace King Salmon, AK, NDB. King
Salmon, AK, Locator Outer Marker in the description of B-27 will
replace Saldo, AK, NDB. Finally, as a result of the Quinhagak, AK, VOR/
DME being decommissioned, this action will remove that segment of V-308
between Quinhagak, AK, and Bethel, AK, and will realign V-328 between
Dillingham, AK, and Kipnuk, AK.
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 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.
