DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 95

[Docket No. 27593; Amdt. No. 381]

 

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 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: March 3, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Paul J. Best, Flight Procedures Standards Branch (AFS-420), Technical 
Programs Division, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation 
Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; 
telephone: (202) 267-8277.

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 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 unnecessary, 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 ``major rule'' under 
Executive Order 12291; (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.
