DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 95
[Docket No. 27839; Amdt. No. 384]
IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous Amendments
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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: August 18, 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 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 published 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 unnecessary, 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.
