RIN 2120–AA66

Modification of Jet Route J–502; VOR

Federal Airway V–444; and Colored

Federal Airways Amber 2 and Amber

15; Alaska

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action modifies Jet Route

502 (J–502), very high frequency

omnidirectional range (VOR) Federal

Airway 444 (V–444), and Colored

Federal Airways Amber 2 (A–2) and

Amber 15 (A–15) in the State of Alaska.

Specifically, this action modifies the

description of J–502 by correcting the

reference to the Burwash Landing

navigational aid and modifies the

description of V–444 to exclude

airspace within Canada. In addition,

this action adds the Beaver Creek,

Yukon Territory (YT), Nondirectional

Beacon (NDB) to the descriptions of A–

2 and A–15 to make them consistent

with the revised Canadian en route low

altitude structure. This action does not

change the dimensions or operating

requirements of the airways.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, October 8,

1998.

McElroy, Airspace and Rules Division,

Management, Federal Aviation

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

This action modifies J–502, V–444, A–

2, and A–15, in the State of Alaska.

Specifically, this action modifies the

current description of J–502 from

‘‘Burwash Landing, YT, Radio Beacon

(RBN),’’ to ‘‘Burwash, YT, NDB,’’ and

modifies the description of V–444 to

exclude that airspace within Canada.

In addition, this action adds the

Beaver Creek NDB to the descriptions of

A–2 and A–15 to make them consistent

with the revised Canadian en route low

altitude structure.

This action does not change the

dimensions or operating requirements of

the airways.

Since this action merely involves

changes in the legal description of jet

routes and Federal airways, and does

not involve a change in the dimensions

or operating requirements of that

airspace, notice and public procedure

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 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.

Jet route, colored Federal airway, and

Alaskan VOR Federal airway

designations are published in

paragraphs 2004, 6009(c) and 6010(b),

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 route, colored Federal

airway, and Alaskan VOR Federal

airway designations listed in this

document will be published

subsequently in the Order.
