[Airspace Docket No. 98–AAL–26]

RIN 2120–AA66

Modification and Revocation of VOR

and Colored Federal Airways and Jet

Routes; AK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action revokes one jet

route (J–814R), and modifies five jet

routes (J–111, J–115, J–127, J–501 and J–

511), three Very High Frequency

Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal

airways (V–319, V–453 and V–456), and

one colored Federal airway (G–8), and

located in Alaska. The FAA is taking

this action for the following reasons: to

realign the North Pacific (NOPAC) Air

Traffic Service (ATS) route structure; to

reflect the Adak Nondirectional Radio

Beacon (NDB), AK, decommissioning

from the National Airspace System

(NAS); and to resolve an aeronautical

charting discrepancy. This action will

improve the management of air traffic

operations in Alaska and enhance

safety.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, October 5,

2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On April 14, 1999, the FAA proposed

to amend 14 CFR part 71 (part 71) to

revoke one jet route, and to modify five

jet routes, three VOR Federal airways,

and one colored Federal airway in

Alaska (64 FR 18392). This action was

considered necessary due to

overlapping jet routes, decommissioning

of the Adak NDB, and the existence of

obsolete fixes still shown on jet routes.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking by

submitting written comments on the

proposal to the FAA. No comments

were received. Except for editorial

changes, this amendment is the same as

that proposed in the notice.

The Rule

This action amends part 71 by

revoking one jet route (J–814R), and

modifying five jet routes (J–111, J–115,

J–127, J–501, and J–511), three VOR

Federal airways (V–319, V–453, and V–

456), and one colored Federal airway

(G–8), in Alaska. The FAA is taking this

action for the following reasons.

Segments of J–111 from Anchorage to

Middleton Island to the noncompulsory

reporting point SNOUT overlap existing

J–804R segments and are not used. This

action revises the legal description of J–

111 to reflect this change.

Jet Route J–115 and Colored Federal

Airway G–8 use Adak NDB which will

be decommissioned. The new NDB on

Adak Island will be named Mount

Moffett NDB. This action changes the

legal descriptions of J–115 and G–8 to

show the new NDB.

Jet Routes J–127, J–501, J–511, and J–

814R terminate at AUGIN, MIXER,

ENCOR, and PANTT fixes which were

once part of the NOPAC ATS route

structure and these fixes are no longer

required for air traffic control (ATC)

purposes. As a result, the FAA is

revising J–127, J–501, and J–511 to

reflect this change in route structure and

revoking J–814R as this route is no

longer needed for ATC purposes.

Alaskan Federal Airways V–319 and

V–453 are being amended by adding

and converting non-part 95 segments to

VOR Federal airway segments. Non-part

95 segments are routes that are

nonregulatory, uncharted, and are not

subject to the requirements of part 95,

instrument flight rules (IFR) altitudes.

The conversion of these non-part 95

segments to VOR Federal airway

segments will add to the IFR airway and

route infrastructure in Alaska. The new

VOR Federal airway segments, unlike

the non-part 95 segments, will enable

the FAA to provide charted flight

procedural information to the pilots

pertaining to navigational guidance,

minimum en route altitudes and

minimum obstruction clearance

altitudes information, thereby

enhancing safety.

Alaskan Federal Airway V–456 is

amended to correct a discrepancy on

how the airway is depicted on the IFR

En route L–3/L–4 Low Altitude—Alaska

Chart and the Kodiak Aeronautical

Sectional Chart. The outbound radial

from King Salmon is 032° on the

sectional chart and 033° on the en route

chart. The current legal description for

V–456 includes an intersection (King

Salmon 053° and Kenai 239°) which

will be removed to correct the

discrepancy. The course from King

Salmon to Kenai (032.71°) will resolve

to 033° once the intersection is

removed. This action will make the

route segment a straight line and will

not affect the fixes STREW, BITOP, or

COPPS on V–456.

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 action: (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 will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Alaskan VOR Federal airways are

selenium yeast as a source of selenium

in animal feeds intended for chickens.

This action is in response to a food

additive petition filed by Alltech

Biotechnology Center.

DATES: This rule is effective June 6,

2000. Submit written objections and

requests for a hearing by July 6, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Submit written objections to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

In a notice published in the Federal

Register of May 12, 1998 (63 FR 26193),

FDA announced that a food additive

petition (animal use) (FAP 2238) had

been filed by Alltech Biotechnology

Center, 3031 Catnip Hill Pike,

Nicholasville, KY 40356. The petition

proposed to amend the food additive

regulations in § 573.920 Selenium (21

CFR 573.920) to provide for the safe use

of selenium yeast as a source of

selenium in animal feeds intended for

use in poultry. The notice of filing

provided for a 60-day comment period

on the petitioner’s environmental

assessment. No comments have been

received.

II. Conclusion

FDA concludes that the data establish

the safety and utility of selenium yeast,

for use in feeds for chickens, and the

food additive regulations should be

amended as set forth below.

III. Public Disclosure

In accordance with § 571.1(h) (21 CFR

571.1(h)), the petition and the

documents that FDA considered and

relied upon in reaching its decision to

approve the petition are available for

inspection at the Center for Veterinary

Medicine by appointment with the

information contact person listed above.

As provided in § 571.1(h), the agency

will delete from the documents any

materials that are not available for

public disclosure before making the

documents available for inspection.

IV. Environmental Impact

The agency has determined under 21

CFR 25.32(r) that this action is of a type

that does not individually or

cumulatively have a significant effect on
