14 CFR Part 71 

[Docket No. FAA–2014–1124; Airspace 

Docket No. 14–ASW–12] 

RIN 2120–AA66 

Modification of Air Traffic Service 

(ATS) Routes in the Vicinity of Baton 

Rouge, LA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule, technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the legal 

description of three Jet Routes, one High 

Altitude Area Navigation (RNAV) Route 

(Q-route), and five VHF 

Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal 

Airways in the vicinity of Baton Rouge, 

LA. The FAA is taking this action 

because the Baton Rouge VHF 

Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air 

Navigation (VORTAC) navigation aid, 

included as part of the route structure 

for the airways, is being renamed the 

Fighting Tiger VORTAC. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, April 

30, 2015. 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.

FAA Order 7400.9, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 

part 71 by amending the legal 

descriptions of Jet Routes J–2, J–138, 

and J–590; High Altitude RNAV Route 

Q–24; and VOR Federal Airways V–70, 

V–71, V–114, V–194, and V–559 in the 

vicinity of Baton Rouge, LA. Currently, 

these airways have the Baton Rouge, LA, 

[VORTAC] included as part of their 

route structure. The Baton Rouge 

VORTAC and the Baton Rouge 

Metropolitan Airport, both in Baton 

Rouge, LA, have similar names and 

share the same facility identifier (BTR), 

but are not co-located. Because the 

Baton Rouge VORTAC is actually 

located 8 nautical miles outside the 

airport boundary, and to eliminate a 

potential flight safety issue causing 

navigation confusion, the Baton Rouge 

VORTAC is renamed the Fighting Tiger 

VORTAC and assigned a new facility 

identifier (LSU). The Jet Routes, High 

Altitude RNAV Route, and VOR Federal 

airways with Baton Rouge, LA, 

[VORTAC] included in their legal 

descriptions will be amended to reflect 

the name change. The name change of 

the VORTAC will coincide with the 

effective date of this rulemaking action. 

Since this action merely involves 

editorial changes in the legal 

description of Jet Routes, a High 

Altitude RNAV Route, and VOR Federal 

Airways, and does not involve a change 

in the dimensions or operating 

requirements of that airspace, notice 

and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b) are unnecessary. 

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 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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does 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 renames a navaid in the legal 

description of Jet Routes, a High 

Altitude RNAV Route, and VOR Federal 

Airways in the vicinity of Baton Rouge, 

LA. 

Jet Routes, High Altitude United 

States RNAV Routes, and Domestic VOR 

Federal Airways are published in 

paragraphs 2004, 2006, and 6010(a), 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9Y, 

dated August 6, 2014, and effective 

September 15, 2014, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Jet Routes, High Altitude 

RNAV Route, and domestic VOR 

Federal Airways listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order.

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.
