SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On September 7, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish V-561 
located in North Dakota and South Dakota (58 FR 47087). 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. Domestic VOR 
Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) 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 airway listed in this document will be published subsequently in 
the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
establishes V-561 located in North Dakota and South Dakota. 
Establishing a direct route between these points will provide 
controlled airspace and allow aircraft to operate efficiently and 
expeditiously along this route. This action is necessary to improve 
navigation and save on fuel consumption.
    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.
