Amendment of VOR Federal Airway V– 

625, Arizona 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action makes an editorial 

change to the legal description of VHF 

Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal 

airway V–625 to reverse the order of 

points listed in the route description. 

This action is simply to comply with the 

standard format for describing routes. 

The existing alignment of the airway is 

not affected by this action. 

DATES: Effective Dates: 0901 UTC, May 

29, 2014. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Current format guidelines for airway 

and route legal descriptions require that 

the order of points in a description be 

listed from ‘‘west-to-east’’ or from 

‘‘south-to-north,’’ as applicable. The 

description for V–625 lists the points 

from ‘‘north-to-south.’’ This rule simply 

reverses the order of the points listed in 

Order 7400.9X to a ‘‘south-to-north’’ 

format for standardization. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

reversing the order of points listed in 

the legal description of VOR Federal 

airway V–625. This is only an editorial 

change to comply with the standard 

route description format. The change 

does not alter the current alignment of 

V–625 and the airway track is correct on 

aeronautical charts. 

Since this action merely involves an 

editorial change in the legal description 

of VOR Federal airway V–625 to 

standardize the format, and does not 

involve a change in the dimensions or 

operating requirements of the affected 

route, I find that notice and public 

procedures 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 is merely an editorial change of the 

legal description of V–625 to comply 

with existing administrative format 

procedures. 

Domestic VOR Federal Airways are 

published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA 

Order 7400.9X, dated August 7, 2013, 

and effective September 15, 2013, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The VOR Federal airway 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 FAA 

Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures, paragraph 

311a. This airspace action consists of 

editorial changes only and is not 

expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
