DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 94-AWP-28]


Proposed Establishment of VOR Federal Airway V-514; CA

agency: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

action: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

summary: This proposed rule would establish Federal Airway V-514 from 
the Mission Bay, CA, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical 
Air Navigation (VORTAC) to the Boulder City, NV, VORTAC. Pilots are 
presently issued several airway segments between the Mission Bay, CA, 
VORTAC and the Boulder City, NV, VORTAC. The establishment of this 
airway would provide pilots with one airway segment between these two 
points. This action would improve traffic flow and reduce pilot/
controller workload.

dates: Comments must be received on or before June 2, 1995.

addresses: Send comments on the proposal in triplicate to: Manager, Air 
Traffic Division, AWP-500, Docket No. 94-AWP-28, Federal Aviation 
Administration, P.O. Box 92007, Worldway Postal Center, Los Angeles, CA

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to establish Federal Airway V-514 
from the Mission Bay, CA, VORTAC to the Boulder City, NV, VORTAC. The 
establishment of this airway would improve the efficiency of the system 
because pilots are routinely issued several airway segments along this 
route. To reduce communications and eliminate potential confusion 
between pilots and controllers, only one airway segment would be issued 
between the Mission Bay, CA, VORTAC and the Boulder City, NV, VORTAC. 
This action would improve traffic flow and reduce pilot/controller 
workload. 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 would be published subsequently in 
the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves 
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
It, [[Page 19191]] 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
