SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On September 10, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to realign J-29 from the
Bangor, ME, VORTAC (BGR), to the Halifax, Canada, VOR/DME (YHZ) (58 FR
47680). 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
7400.9A dated June 17, 1993, and effective September 16, 1993, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 (58 FR 36298; July 6, 1993).
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
realigns J-29 from the Bangor, ME, VORTAC, to the Halifax, Canada, VOR/
DME. Realigning J-29 will improve operations and expedite the flow of
air traffic to the Canadian airspace.
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.
