    IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous Amendments

    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: 0901 u.t.c., June 23, 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 that is 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 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 
    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 ``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. 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.
