DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 95-AGL-9]
Realignment of Jet Route J-588
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This amendment alters Jet Route J-588 between the state of
Michigan and Canada. This action is necessary because the Stirling, ON,
Canada, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) has been
decommissioned. Altering J-588 will ensure continuity for aircraft
transitioning along that jet route to and from the United States and
Canada.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, April 25, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On October 5, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to alter Jet Route J-588
from the Sault Ste Marie, MI, VOR to the Stirling, ON, Canada, VOR (60
FR 52133). 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. Jet routes are published in paragraph 2004 of FAA Order
7400.9C dated August 17, 1995, and effective September 16, 1995, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The jet route listed in
this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
alters Jet Route J-588 from the Sault Ste Marie, MI, VOR to the
Stirling, ON, Canada, VOR. The Stirling VOR was decommissioned in July
1995. To ensure that continuity exists along J-588 for aircraft
transitioning to and from the United States and Canada, the jet route
will be realigned with the Campbellford, ON, Canada, VOR.
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.
