Amendment of Jet Route J–93; CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend Jet Route J–93 in California

proposing to realign the jet route due to 

the relocation of the Penasco VOR, 

located in Mexico. This would ensure 

the efficient use of our National 

Airspace System.

Persons interested in being placed on

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking,

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

History 

In May 2010, the FAA was notified by 

the Mexican Government that the 

Penasco VOR in Mexico had been 

relocated. This proposed action is 

necessary to realign Jet Route J–93 with 

the revised location of the Penasco VOR. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 to amend J–93 in 

California, between the Julian VORTAC 

and the ASUTA intersection along the 

United States/Mexican Border, by 

realigning the route with the revised 

locations of the Penasco VOR located in 

Mexico. 

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 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 proposed 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 208 / Thursday, October 28, 2010 / Proposed Rules 66345 

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 would amend Jet Route J–93 in 

California. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures,’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR), part 71 by modifying Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface for standard 

instrument approach procedures at Taos 

Regional Airport, Taos, NM. Airspace 

reconfiguration is necessary due to the 

decommissioning of the Ski NDB and 

the cancellation of the NDB approach, 

and would enhance the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

Class E airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 

7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010, and 

effective September 15, 2010, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
