Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 95

[Docket No. 30094; Amdt. No. 423]

IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous

Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts

miscellaneous amendments to the

required IFR (instrument flight rules)

altitudes and changeover points for

certain Federal airways, jet routes, or

direct routes for which a minimum or

maximum en route authorized IFR

altitude is prescribed. This regulatory

action is needed because of changes

occurring in the National Airspace

System. These changes are designed to

provide for the safe and efficient use of

the navigable airspace under instrument

conditions in the affected areas.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 10,

2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to part 95 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95)

amends, suspends, or revokes IFR

altitudes governing the operation of all

aircraft in flight over a specified route

or any portion of that route, as well as

the changeover points (COPs) for

Federal airways, jet routes, or direct

routes as prescribed in part 95.

The Rule

The specified IFR altitudes, when

used in conjunction with the prescribed

changeover points for those routes,

ensure navigation aid coverage that is

adequate for safe flight operations and

free of frequency interference. The

reasons and circumstances that create

the need for this amendment involve

matters of flight safety and operational

efficiency in the National Airspace

System, are related to published

aeronautical charts that are essential to

the user, and provide for the safe and

efficient use of the navigable airspace.

In addition, those various reasons or

circumstances require making this

amendment effective before the next

scheduled charting and publication date

of the flight information to assure its

timely availability to the user. The

effective date of this amendment reflects

those considerations. In view of the

close and immediate relationship

between these regulatory changes and

safety in air commerce, I find that notice

and public procedure before adopting

this amendment are impracticable and

contrary to the public interest and that

good cause exists for making the

amendment effective in less than 30

days.

Conclusion

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. For the same

reason, the FAA certifies that this

amendment will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities under the

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
