effectiveness of this action and

determining whether additional

rulemaking action is needed.

Comments are specifically invited on

the overall regulatory, economic,

environmental, and energy aspects of

the rule that might suggest a need to

modify the rule. All comments

submitted will be available, both before

and after the closing date for comments,

in the Rules Docket for examination by

interested persons. A report that

summarizes each FAA public contact

concerned with the substance of this

action will be filed in the Rules Docket.

Commenters wishing the FAA to

acknowledge receipt of their comments

submitted in response to this rule must

submit a self-addressed, stamped

statement is made ‘‘Comments to Docket

No. 98–ASW–42.’’ The postcard will be

Agency Findings

The regulations adopted herein will

not have substantial direct effects on the

states, on the relationship between the

national government and the states, or

on the distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various level

of government. Therefore, in accordance

with Executive Order 12612, it is

determined that this final rule does not

have sufficient federalism implications

to warrant the preparation of a

Federalism Assessment.

Further, the FAA has determined that

this regulation is noncontroversial and

unlikely to result in adverse or negative

comments and only involves an

established body of technical

regulations that require frequent and

routine amendments to keep them

operationally current. Therefore, I

certify that 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) if

promulgated, will not have a significant

economic impact, positive or negative,

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act. Since this rule involves

routine matters that will only affect air

traffic procedures and air navigation, it

does not warrant preparation of a

Regulatory Flexibility Analysis because

the anticipated impact is so minimal.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies two

Federal airways, V–165 and V–287,

located in the State of Washington

(WA), due to the newly commissioned

Penn Cove Very High Frequency

Omnidirectional Range/Distance

Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME)

is modified to provide a route from the

Olympia Very High Frequency

Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air

Navigation System (VORTAC) to Penn

Cove VOR to Bellingham, WA. Federal

Airway V–287 is modified to provide a

route from the Paine VORTAC to Penn

Cove VOR. The FAA is taking this

action to improve the management of air

traffic operations in the State of

Washington.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, October 8,

1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On April 27, 1998, the FAA proposed

to amend 14 CFR part 71 (part 71) to

modify two Federal Airways, V–165 and

V–287, located in the State of

Washington, due to the commissioning

of the Penn Cove VOR/DME

navigational aid (63 FR 24765).

Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking

proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA.

No comments objecting to the proposal

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

modifying two VOR Federal airways, V–

287 and V–165, due to the

commissioning of the Penn Cove, WA,

VOR/DME. Specifically, this action

modifies Federal Airway V–165 to

provide a route between Olympia and

Bellingham, WA, via Penn Cove VOR.

Federal Airway V–287 is modified to

provide a route from the Paine VORTAC

to Penn Cove VOR. This action

enhances air traffic procedures by

providing air traffic controllers with

added flexibility for routing air traffic in

the State of Washington.

Domestic VOR Federal airways are

published in paragraph 6010(a) 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 Domestic VOR Federal

airways listed in this document will 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. 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 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.
