SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On September 10, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to realign J-29 from the 
Bangor, ME, VORTAC (BGR), to the Halifax, Canada, VOR/DME (YHZ) (58 FR 
47680). 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 
7400.9A dated June 17, 1993, and effective September 16, 1993, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 (58 FR 36298; July 6, 1993). 
The jet route listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
realigns J-29 from the Bangor, ME, VORTAC, to the Halifax, Canada, VOR/
DME. Realigning J-29 will improve operations and expedite the flow of 
air traffic to the Canadian airspace.
    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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
