close and immediate relationship

between these regulatory changes and

safety in air commerce, I find that notice

and public procedure before adopting

this amendment are impracticable and

contrary to the public interest and that

good cause exists for making the

amendment effective in less than 30

days. 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.

For the same reason, the FAA certifies

that this amendment will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous

Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts

miscellaneous amendments to the

required IFR (instrument flight rules)

altitudes and changeover points for

certain Federal airways, jet routes, or

direct routes for which a minimum or

maximum en route authorized IFR

altitude is prescribed. This regulatory

action is needed because of changes

occurring in the National Airspace
18066 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 24, 1996 / Rules and Regulations

System. These changes are designed to

provide for the safe and efficient use of

the navigable airspace under instrument

conditions in the affected areas.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, February 29,

1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

amendment to part 95 of the Federal

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95)

amends, suspends, or revokes IFR

altitudes governing the operation of all

aircraft in flight over a specified route

or any portion of that route, as well as

the changeover points (COPs) for

Federal airways, jet routes, or direct

routes as prescribed in part 95.

The Rule

The specified IFR altitudes, when

used in conjunction with the prescribed

changeover points for those routes,

ensure navigation aid coverage that is

adequate for safe flight operations and

free of frequency interference. The

reasons and circumstances that create

the need for this amendment involve

matters of flight safety and operational

efficiency in the National Airspace

System, are related to published

aeronautical charts that are essential to

the user, and provide for the safe and

efficient use of the navigable airspace.

In addition, those various reasons or

circumstances require making this

amendment effective before the next

scheduled charting and publication date

of the flight information to assure its

timely availability to the user. The

effective date of this amendment reflects

those considerations. In view of the

close and immediate relationship

between these regulatory changes and

safety in air commerce, I find that notice

and public procedure before adopting

this amendment are impracticable and

contrary to the public interest and that

good cause exists for making the

amendment effective in less than 30

days. 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.

For the same reason, the FAA certifies

that this amendment will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Standard Instrument Approach

Procedures; Miscellaneous

Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This amendment establishes,

amends, suspends, or revokes Standard

Instrument Approach Procedures

(SIAPs) for operations at certain

airports. These regulatory actions are

needed because of the adoption of new

or revised criteria, or because of changes

occurring in the National Airspace

System, such as the commissioning of

new navigational facilities, addition of

new obstacles, or changes in air traffic

requirements. These changes are

designed to provide safe and efficient

use of the navigable airspace and to

promote safe flight operations under

instrument flight rules at the affected

airports.

DATES: An effective date for each SIAP

is specified in the amendatory

provisions.

Incorporation by reference-approved

by the Director of the Federal Register

on December 31, 1980, and reapproved

as of January 1, 1982.
