SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On June 1, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to extend Federal Airway V-86
from Coppertown, MT, VOR/DME to the Missoula, MT, VOR/DME (60 FR
28551).
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. Domestic VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a)
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 airway
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
extends Federal Airway V-86 from the Coppertown, MT, VOR/DME to the
Missoula, MT, VOR/DME facility. The extension of V-86 will improve the
efficiency of air traffic operations between the Coppertown, MT, VOR/
DME and Missoula, MT, VOR/DME facilities, and will reduce pilot/
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
[[Page 48643]]
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
