DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 95-ANM-7]


Alteration Jet Route J-20

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; clarification.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action reflects the name change of the Shreveport, LA, 
Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation 
(VORTAC) facility to the Belcher VORTAC in the airspace designation for 
Jet Route J-20. The description for J-20 was previously modified to 
support the airspace structure for the new Denver International 
Airport. That action was delayed pending the opening of the airport and 
reflected the old name for the Belcher, LA, VORTAC. This action 
clarifies that the Shreveport, LA, VORTAC is now named the Belcher 
VORTAC in the new description of J-20 which becomes effective on 
February 28, 1995.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0701 UTC, February 28, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR [[Page 8167]] part 71) reflects a change to the name of the 
Shreveport, LA, VORTAC to the Belcher VORTAC. The description for J-20 
was previously modified in Docket 91-ANM-16 to support the opening of 
the new Denver International Airport; that action was delayed pending 
the opening of the airport. The description for J-20 in Docket 91-ANM-
16 contained the old name for the Belcher VORTAC. The airspace 
configuration to support the opening of the new Denver International 
Airport will now become effective on February 28, 1995. This action is 
necessary to clarify the name change of the VORTAC from Shreveport, LA, 
to Belcher, LA, in the new description of J-20. This action is 
editorial in nature. I find that notice and public procedure under 5 
U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary, because this action is a minor technical 
amendment in which the public is not particularly interested. Jet 
routes are published in paragraph 2004 of FAA Order 7400.9B dated July 
18, 1994, and effective September 16, 1994, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The jet route 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. 
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 will not have a significant economic impact on 
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
