132; NY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action alters Jet Route J-223 and establishes Jet Route 
J-132 located in New Jersey and New York. This action deletes a section 
of Jet Route J-223 from the intersection of LaGuardia (LGA) Very High 
Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) 
310 deg. True (T) 322 deg. Magnetic (M) radial and the Elmira (ELM) 
VOR/DME 110 deg.(T) 119 deg.(M) radial to the Elmira VOR/DME. In 
addition, a new jet route, J-132, will be established from the Elmira 
VOR/DME to the Huguenot Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/
Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC). Altering J-223 and establishing J-132 
will enhance the flow of air traffic and simplify routing in the 
vicinity of Elmira, NY.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On October 26, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to delete a segment of 
Jet Route J-223 and to establish Jet Route J-132 from Elmira VOR/DME to 
Huguenot VORTAC (58 FR 57571).
    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 7400.9B 
dated July 18, 1994, and effective September 16, 1994, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The jet routes listed in this 
document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
alters Jet Route J-223 by deleting a section of that jet route from the 
intersection of LaGuardia VOR/DME 310 deg. radial and the Elmira VOR/
DME 110 deg. radial to the Elmira VOR/DME. In addition, this rule 
establishes a new jet route, J-132, from the intersection of Elmira 
VOR/DME 110 deg. radial and the Huguenot VORTAC 291 deg. radial to the 
Huguenot VORTAC. This action is necessary to simplify routing and 
expedite the flow of air traffic.
    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
