    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    History
    
        On December 21, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 of the 
    Code of Federal Regulations part 71 (14 CFR part 71) to alter V-99, V-
    451, and J-62 (60 FR 66181). 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 and Domestic Very 
    High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airways are 
    published in paragraphs 2004 and 6010(a), respectively, 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 and airways 
    listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
    
    The Rule
    
        This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 alters V-99, V-451, and J-62. 
    Specific portions of both the airways and the jet route are no longer 
    necessary for navigation and are being revoked. The airspace 
    designation for V-99 will be revoked between Hartford, CT, and the 
    GRAYM intersection; V-451 will be revoked between Groton, CT, and the 
    SEEDY intersection; and J-62 will be revoked east of the Nantucket, CT, 
    VOR. Removing these obsolete segments will eliminate clutter on 
    aeronautical charts.
        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.
