DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 93-AGL-13]

 

Alteration of Jet Route J-34

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action changes the description of Jet Route J-34 located 
between the Badger, WI, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/
Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) facility, the Grand Rapids, MI, Very 
High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/
DME) facility, and the Carleton, MI, VORTAC. This change removes the 
reference to the radials from the navigational aids (NAVAIDS), and 
designates the Grand Rapids, MI, (GRR) VOR/DME as the turning point for 
aircraft transiting from the Badger, WI, (BAE) VORTAC to the Carleton, 
MI, (CRL) VORTAC.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 U.T.C., June 23, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On September 15, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to alter the description 
of Jet Route J-34 (58 FR 48331). 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 
amends the description of Jet Route J-34 by removing the reference to 
the radials from the NAVAIDS and designates the Grand Rapids, MI, (GRR) 
VOR/DME as the turning point for aircraft transiting from the Badger, 
WI, (BAE) VORTAC to the Carleton, MI, (CRL) VORTAC.
    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.
