DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 94-ASW-9]

 

Alteration of VOR Federal Airways and Jet Routes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action changes the name of the Shreveport, LA, Very High 
Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) 
facility to the Belcher VORTAC. At present, the Shreveport Regional 
Airport and Shreveport VORTAC have the same name, but are not 
collocated. A navigational aid (NAVAID) with the same name as the 
airport should be located on the airport. This action reflects the name 
change, where necessary, of the Shreveport VORTAC that is not located 
on the airport with which it is associated.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, December 8, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William C. Nelson, Airspace and 
Obstruction Evaluation Branch (ATP-240), Airspace-Rules and 
Aeronautical Information Division, Air Traffic Rules and Procedures 
Service, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., 
Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267-9295.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) changes the name of the Shreveport, LA, VORTAC to the 
Belcher VORTAC. At present, the Shreveport Regional Airport and the 
Shreveport VORTAC have the same name, but are not collocated. FAA 
Handbook 7400.2D states that a NAVAID with the same name as the airport 
should be located on the airport. This action reflects the name change 
of the Shreveport VORTAC, which is not located on the associated 
airport. This action is editorial in nature. I find that notice and 
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary, because this 
action is a minor technical amendment in which the public is not 
particularly interested. Jet routes and domestic VOR Federal airways 
are published, respectively, in paragraphs 2004 and 6010(a) 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 and 
airways 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.
