Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. 

# ACTION:

Final rule. 

# SUMMARY:

This action revises Jet Routes J-8, J-18, J-19, J-58, J-76, J-104 and J-244; and Very High Frequency Omni-directional Range (VOR) Federal Airways V-60, V-190, V-263 and V-611 over the Las Vegas, NM, area. The FAA is taking this action due to the renaming of the “Las Vegas VOR tactical air navigation (VORTAC)” to the “Fort Union VORTAC.” The name of the Las Vegas, NM, VORTAC is being changed to enhance the management of aircraft operations over the Las Vegas, NM, area by eliminating the possibility of confusion with the Las Vegas, NV, VORTAC. The FAA is also making editorial changes to update the format of the legal descriptions for VOR Federal Airways V-190, V-263 and V-611.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## History 

                    To reduce confusion between the Las Vegas, NM, VORTAC and the Las Vegas, NV, VORTAC, a decision was made to change the name of the “Las Vegas, NM, VORTAC” to the “Fort Union, NM, VORTAC.” Because the name of the VORTAC is contained in the legal description of J-8, J-18, J-19, J-58, J-76, J-104 and J-244; and V-60, V-190, V-263 and V-611, the legal descriptions                           ( print page 60425)                        must be changed. The FAA is also making editorial changes to update the format of the legal descriptions for VOR Federal Airways V-190, V-263 and V-611 by eliminating references to mileages and altitudes that are no longer included in the legal descriptions of airways.                 

Jet Routes and Federal airways are published in paragraphs 2004 and 6010(a), respectively of FAA Order 7400.9N dated September 1, 2005, and effective September 15, 2005, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Jet Routes and Federal airways listed in this document will be published subsequently in the order. 

## The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by revising the legal descriptions for Jet Routes J-8, J-18, J-19, J-58, J-76, J-104 and J-244; and VOR Federal Airways V-60, V-190, V-263 and V-611 over the Las Vegas, NM, area. The FAA is taking this action due to the renaming of the Las Vegas, NM, VORTAC and to enhance the management of aircraft operations over the Las Vegas, NM, area. Further, the FAA is making editorial changes to update the format of the legal descriptions for VOR Federal Airways V-190, V-263 and V-611. There are no geographical changes to the affected Jet routes and VOR Federal airways. Therefore, 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 Department of Transportation (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. 

## Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance with Paragraph 311(a) of FAA Order 1050.1E, Policies and Procedure for Considering Environmental Impacts. This airspace action is not expected to cause any potentially significant impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.
