21682 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 79 / Monday, April 24, 2000 / Proposed Rules

The area would be depicted on

aeronautical charts for pilot reference.

The coordinates for this airspace docket

are based on North American Datum 83.

The Class E airspace areas designated as

700/1200 foot transition areas are

published in paragraph 6005 in FAA

Order 7400.9G, Airspace Designations

and Reporting Points, dated September

1, 1999, and effective September 16,

1999, which is incorporated by

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E

airspace designations listed in this

document would 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. 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,

when promulgated, will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

realign the affected Federal airways

from the Marquette Very High

Frequency Omnidirectional Range/

Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/

DME) to the Gwinn VOR/DME. The

FAA is proposing this action due to the

decommissioning of the Marquette

VOR/DME and the commissioning of

the Gwinn VOR/DME, which will be

located approximately 15 nautical miles

(NM) to the southeast of the present

location of the Marquette Very High

Frequency Omnidirectional Range/

Tactical Air Navigation.

System, which describes the application

procedure.

Background

The FAA will be decommissioning

the Marquette VOR/DME and will be

commissioning the Gwinn VOR/DME.

As a result, five Federal airways will

have to be realigned from the Marquette

VOR/DME to the new Gwinn VOR/DME

(which is approximately 15 NM to the

southeast of the present location of the

Marquette VORTAC).

The Proposal

The FAA is proposing an amendment

to part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to realign

five Federal airways due to the

decommissioning of the Marquette

VOR/DME, and the installation of the

Gwinn VOR/DME. The Gwinn VOR/

DME will be located approximately 15

NM southeast of the present location of

the Marquette VORTAC. Specifically,

V–7, V–133, V–224, V–316, and V–341

would be realigned from the Marquette

VOR/DME to the Gwinn VOR/DME.

VOR Federal airways are published in

Section 6010(a), of FAA Order 7400.9G,

dated September 1, 1999, and effective

September 16, 1999, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The airways listed in this

document would be published

subsequently in the Order.

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, when

promulgated, will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities under the

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
