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.

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.
