14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 97–ASW–18]

Proposed Realignment of Federal

Airways and Jet Routes; Texas

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This notice proposes to

realign three jet routes and eight Federal

airways in the Austin, TX, area. The

FAA is proposing this action due to the

decommissioning of the Austin Very

High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/

Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) and

the installation of the Centex VORTAC,

which will be located approximately

10.5 nautical miles (NM) to the

northeast of the present location of the

Austin VORTAC. This proposal would

realign the affected jet routes and

Federal airways from the Austin

VORTAC to the Centex VORTAC. The

FAA is taking this action in support of

a plan to transfer airport operations

from the Austin Robert Mueller

Municipal Airport to the AustinBergstrom International Airport.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before July 29, 1998.

Background

As part of the relocation of airport

operations from the Austin Robert

Mueller Municipal Airport to the
31680 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 111 /Wednesday, June 10, 1998 / Proposed Rules

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport,

the Austin VORTAC will be

decommissioned. This relocation will

affect the current Austin Robert Mueller

Class C airspace area, and realign the

affected jet routes and Federal airways

from the Austin VORTAC to the new

Centex VORTAC, approximately 10.5

NM to the northeast of the present

location of the Austin VORTAC.

The Proposal

The FAA is proposing an amendment

to part 71 of the Federal Aviation

Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to realign

three jet routes and eight Federal

airways due to the decommissioning of

the Austin VORTAC, and the

installation of the Centex VORTAC. The

Centex VORTAC will be located

approximately 10.5 NM northeast of the

present location of the Austin VORTAC.

Specifically, J–21, J–25, J–86, V–17, V–

76, V–306, V–550, V–558, V–565, V–

574, and V–583 would be realigned

from the Austin VORTAC to the Centex

VORTAC. The FAA is taking this action

in support of a plan to close the Austin

Robert Mueller Municipal Airport and

transfer airport operations to the AustinBergstrom International Airport.

Jet routes and VOR Federal airways

are published in Sections 2004 and

6010(a), respectively, of FAA Order

7400.9E, dated September 10, 1997, and

effective September 16, 1997, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The jet routes and 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.

The Proposed Amendment

In consideration of the foregoing, the

Federal Aviation Administration

proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as
