14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 94-AWP-11]
Alteration of VOR Federal Airway V-291
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action removes the exclusionary language from Federal
Airway V-291 concerning Restricted Area R-2302. The restricted area's
altitude was reduced in another rulemaking action, from 11,000 feet
mean sea level (MSL) to 10,000 feet MSL. The minimum en route altitude
(MEA) of V-291 between the Flagstaff, AZ, Very High Frequency
Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) and the
intersection of Kacee is 11,000 feet MSL; therefore, the exclusionary
language is no longer necessary.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 u.t.c., August 18, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Rule
This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14
CFR part 71) removes the exclusionary language from Federal Airway V-
291 concerning Restricted Area R-2302. The FAA, in another rulemaking
action, reduced the restricted area's altitude from 11,000 feet MSL to
10,000 feet MSL. The MEA of V-291 between the Flagstaff, AZ, VOR/DME
and the intersection of Kacee is 11,000 feet MSL; therefore, the
exclusionary language is no longer necessary. Because this action is a
minor technical amendment in which the public would not be particularly
interested, I find that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C.
553(b) are unnecessary. 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 56298; July 6, 1993). The airway listed in this
document will be published subsequently in the Order.
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.
