SUMMARY: This rule establishes Jet Route 181 (J-181) between the
Dallas-Fort Worth, TX, metroplex area and the Chicago O'Hare, IL,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On November 9, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 of the Code
of Federal Regulations part 71 (14 CFR part 71) to establish J-181
located in the vicinity of Dallas-Fort Worth, TX (58 FR 59422).
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 14 CFR part 71 establishes J-181 between the
Dallas-Fort Worth, TX, metroplex area and the Chicago O'Hare, IL,
terminal area. This route provides improved en route and arrival
traffic flow into the Chicago area. This action enhances the movement
of traffic, minimizes air traffic delays, and reduces the controller
workload.
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
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
Adoption of the Amendment
In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows:
