[Federal Register Volume 60, Number 28 (Friday, February 10, 1995)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 8166-8167] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 95-3480] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 14 CFR Part 71 [Airspace Docket No. 95-ANM-7] Alteration Jet Route J-20 AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT. ACTION: Final rule; clarification. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This action reflects the name change of the Shreveport, LA, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) facility to the Belcher VORTAC in the airspace designation for Jet Route J-20. The description for J-20 was previously modified to support the airspace structure for the new Denver International Airport. That action was delayed pending the opening of the airport and reflected the old name for the Belcher, LA, VORTAC. This action clarifies that the Shreveport, LA, VORTAC is now named the Belcher VORTAC in the new description of J-20 which becomes effective on February 28, 1995. EFFECTIVE DATE: 0701 UTC, February 28, 1995. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Norman W. Thomas, 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- 9230. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Rule This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR [[Page 8167]] part 71) reflects a change to the name of the Shreveport, LA, VORTAC to the Belcher VORTAC. The description for J-20 was previously modified in Docket 91-ANM-16 to support the opening of the new Denver International Airport; that action was delayed pending the opening of the airport. The description for J-20 in Docket 91-ANM- 16 contained the old name for the Belcher VORTAC. The airspace configuration to support the opening of the new Denver International Airport will now become effective on February 28, 1995. This action is necessary to clarify the name change of the VORTAC from Shreveport, LA, to Belcher, LA, in the new description of J-20. 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 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 route 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.
