SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On June 1, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the Federal 
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to extend Federal Airway V-86 
from Coppertown, MT, VOR/DME to the Missoula, MT, VOR/DME (60 FR 
28551).
    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, this amendment is the same as that proposed in the 
notice. Domestic VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) 
of FAA Order 7400.9C dated August 17, 1995, and effective September 16, 
1995, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The airway 
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
extends Federal Airway V-86 from the Coppertown, MT, VOR/DME to the 
Missoula, MT, VOR/DME facility. The extension of V-86 will improve the 
efficiency of air traffic operations between the Coppertown, MT, VOR/
DME and Missoula, MT, VOR/DME facilities, and will reduce pilot/
controller workload.
    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.
