AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends the airspace designation for Federal Airway 
V-216 by realigning the airway from the Peck, MI, Very High Frequency 
[[Page 339]] Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) 
facility to the Toronto, ON, Canada, VORTAC via the Waterloo, ON, 
Canada, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring 
Equipment (VOR/DME). This action is necessary to realign the airway 
from the United States into Canadian airspace.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, February 2, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 
CFR part 71) amends the airspace designation for VOR Federal Airway V-
216 from the Peck, MI, 084 deg. and the United States/Canadian border 
to Toronto, ON, Canada, via Waterloo, ON, Canada. Canada has completed 
restructuring their internal airspace system that affected several 
Federal airways within the United States. This action is necessary to 
realign the airway from the United States into Canadian airspace. 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. Domestic VOR Federal 
airways are published in paragraph 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 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.
