SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On September 27, 1994, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to extend Colored Federal 
Airways G-10 and R-99 and realign Colored Federal Airway B-37 as a 
result the decommissioning of the Quinhagak, AK, VOR/DME, realign 
Federal Airway V-328 and remove a segment of V-308 in Alaska (59 FR 
49220).
    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 and the removal of ``via INT Campbell Lake NDB 
032 deg. and Skwentna, AK, NDB 111 deg. bearings'' from Colored Federal 
Airway G-8, and a change to Federal Airway V-328 from ``Dillingham, AK, 
to Kipnuk'' to ``INT Dillingham 295 deg. and Kipnuk, AK 099 deg. 
radials, to Kipnuk,'' this amendment is the same as that proposed in 
the notice. Colored Federal Airways are published in paragraphs 
6009(a), 6009(b) and 6009(d), respectively, and Alaskan VOR Federal 
airways are published in paragraph 6010(b), 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 Colored Federal airways and the 
Alaskan VOR Federal airways listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
extends Colored Federal Airways G-10, R-99, and realigns Colored 
Federal Airway B-37 as a result of the decommissioning of the Cape 
Spencer Marine NDB. Colored Federal Airways G-10 and R-99 will be 
extended and will include an extension of G-10 from Woody Island to 
Kachemak. King Salmon, AK, NDB was inadvertently used in the 
descriptions of Colored Federal Airways G-8 and G-12, and as a result 
of this rule, Saldo, AK, NDB will replace King Salmon, AK, NDB. King 
Salmon, AK, Locator Outer Marker in the description of B-27 will 
replace Saldo, AK, NDB. Finally, as a result of the Quinhagak, AK, VOR/
DME being decommissioned, this action will remove that segment of V-308 
between Quinhagak, AK, and Bethel, AK, and will realign V-328 between 
Dillingham, AK, and Kipnuk, AK.
    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.
