SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On April 24, 2000, a proposal to

amend part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to revise

the Class E airspace at Barrow, AK, was

published in the Federal Register (65

FR 21681). The proposal was necessary

due to revisions to the instrument

approaches to runway (RWY) 06 and

RWY 24 at Wiley Post—Will Rogers

Memorial Airport, Barrow, AK.

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No public comments to the proposal

were received, thus, the rule is adopted

as written.

The area will 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 of 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 will be revised and published

subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71

revises the Class E airspace at Barrow,

AK, through the revisions of instrument

approaches to the Wiley Post—Will

Rogers Memorial Airport, Barrow, AK.

The area will be depicted on

aeronautical charts for pilot reference.

The intended effect of this proposal is

to provide adequate controlled airspace

for IFR operations at Wiley Post—Will

Rogers Memorial Airport, Barrow, AK.

The FAA has determined that these

proposed regulations only involve 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.

Realignment of Jet Route; TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY: This action corrects a final

rule published in the Federal Register

on June 14, 2000 (Airspace Docket No.

99–ASW–33). The legal description of

Jet Route 25 (J–25) contained an

inadvertent error between the Corpus

Christi, TX, Very High Frequency

Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air

Navigation (VORTAC) and the San

Antonio, TX, VORTAC. This action

corrects that error.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 5, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June

14, 2000, Airspace Docket No. 99–

ASW–33, FR Doc. 00–14909, was

published amending the legal

description of J–25 between the Corpus

Christi, TX, VORTAC and the San

Antonio, TX, VORTAC (65 FR 37277).

This rule inadvertently listed the true

bearing between Corpus Christi, TX, and

San Antonio, TX, as ‘‘166° .’’ The correct

true bearing is ‘‘174°.’’ The correct true

bearing was listed in the Notice of

Proposed Rulemaking for this matter.

Correction to Final Rule

Accordingly, pursuant to the

authority delegated to me, the legal

description for J–25 as published in the

Federal Register on June 24, 2000 (65

FR 37277), FR Doc. 00–14909, and

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1, is corrected as follows:
