SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On March 28, 1995, the FAA

proposed to amend Title 14 of the Code

of Federal Regulations part 71 (14 CFR

part 71) to alter J–66 from the DallasFort Worth, TX, VORTAC, to the Little

Rock, AR, VORTAC (60 FR 15887).

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. Jet Routes

are published in paragraph 2004 of FAA

Order 7400.9C dated August 17, 1995,

and effective September 16, 1995, 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 Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71

alters J–66 from the Dallas-Fort Worth,

TX, VORTAC, to the Little Rock, AR,

VORTAC. This rule will alter that

portion of J–66 within the state of Texas

from the Dallas-Fort Worth VORTAC,

via the Bonham VORTAC, to the Little

Rock VORTAC. Additionally, the Glove

intersection will be established at the

Texarkana 279°T(286°M) and the

Bonham 056°T(064°M) radials to assist

navigation along J–66. Altering J–66

enhances the flow of air traffic,

simplifies routings in the northeast

vicinity of the Dallas-Fort Worth

metroplex area, and reduces controller

and pilot workload.

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.

14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 93–ASW–4]

Alteration of VOR Federal Airways; TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This rule alters twelve

Federal airways located in the vicinity

of Dallas, TX. This action, which

supports the Dallas/Fort Worth

Metroplex Plan, is necessary due to the

decommissioning of four Very High

Frequency Omnidirectional Range/

Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC)

facilities and the commissioning of four

new VORTAC’s. In addition, this action

enhances the flow of air traffic,

simplifies routings, increases safety and

reduces pilot/controller workload.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, October 10,

1996.

History

On June 27, 1995, the FAA proposed

to amend Title 14 of the Code of Federal

Regulations part 71 (14 CFR part 71) to

alter twelve Federal airways located in

the vicinity of Dallas, TX (60 FR 33159).

No comments objecting to the proposal

VOR Federal airways are published in

paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order

7400.9C dated August 17, 1995, and

effective September 16, 1995, which is

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

71.1. The airways listed in this

document will be published

subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71

alters twelve Federal airways located in

the vicinity of Dallas, TX. The

alterations to the airways surrounding

the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW)

International Airport, which are

essential to support the Dallas/Fort

Worth Metroplex Plan, are necessary

because of the decommissioning of the

existing Bridgeport, Blue Ridge, Scurry

and Action VORTAC’s and the

commissioning of the Bowie, Bonham,

Cedar Creek and Glen Rose VORTAC’s.

This action enhances the flow of the air

traffic, simplifies routings, increases

safety, and reduces pilot/controller

workload.

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
