FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Norman W. Thomas, Airspace and
Obstruction Evaluation Branch (ATP-240), Airspace-Rules and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On December 22, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to alter Jet Route J-50
located in the vicinity of Lufkin, TX (58 FR 67728). 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
alters Jet Route J-50 located in the vicinity of Lufkin, TX. Currently,
there is a small bend in the route between Lufkin, TX, and Alexandria,
LA, and this action realigns Jet Route J-50 as a direct route between
these two points. This action will save fuel.
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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
