14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2010-1022; Airspace Docket No. 10-AWP-4]
RIN 2120-AA66

Amendment of Jet Route J-93; CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action amends Jet Route J-93 in California between the 
Julian VHF Omnidrectional Radio Range Tactical Air Navigation Aid 
(VORTAC), and the ASUTA intersection on the United States/Mexican 
border. The FAA is realigning the jet route due to the relocation of 
the Penasco VOR, located in Mexico. This action ensures the efficient 
use of our National Airspace System.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, May 5, 2011. The Director of the 
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 
publication of conforming amendments.

Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On October 28, 2010, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend J-93, (75 FR 66344). 
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were 
received in response to the NPRM. Jet routes are published in paragraph 
2004 of FAA Order 7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010, and effective 
September 15, 2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. 
The jet routes listed in this document will be published subsequently 
in the Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by modifying Jet Route J-93 in California, between the Julian 
VORTAC and the ASUTA intersection along the United States/Mexican 
Border, realigning the route with the revised location of the Penasco 
VOR located in Mexico.
    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. 
Therefore, this 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.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is 
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, section 106 
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's 
authority.
    This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in 
subtitle VII, part A, subpart I, section 40103. Under that section, the 
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the 
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient 
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority 
as it amends Jet Route J-93 in California.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical 
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance 
with 311a, FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and 
Procedures.'' This airspace action is not expected to cause any 
potentially significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary 
circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental 
assessment.
