    Background

    A review of aircraft operations in the Cincinnati terminal area has identified a need to reduce congestion on V-5 between Columbus, OH and Cincinnati, OH. This congestion is the result of en route aircraft and other aircraft arriving at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), while both navigating on V-5. The FAA believes that establishing a new Federal Airway (V-19) to the south of V-5 would relieve the congestion and enhance the management of aircraft operations by providing an alternate route between Cincinnati, OH and Columbus, OH.

    The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 (part 71) to establish V-19 in the Cincinnati, OH, area. Specifically, this action proposes to establish V-19 between Cincinnati, OH and Columbus, OH, to the south of V-5 and to the north of the Buckeye Military Operations Area. Establishment of this new airway would reduce congestion on V-5 and enhance the management of aircraft operations over the Cincinnati, OH, area.

    Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order 7400.9L dated September 2, 2003, and effective September 16, 2003, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Federal airway listed in this document would be published subsequently in the Order. Start Printed Page 68577

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this proposed regulation: (1) Is not a “significant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a “significant rule” under Department of Transportation (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, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
