SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On September 7, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to modify the 
designations of Colored Airway G-8 and Federal Airway V-328 in Alaska 
(60 FR 46547). Interested parties were invited to 

[[Page 57335]]
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 a one degree 
bearing change to G-8 from ``Campbell Lake NDB 032 deg.'' to ``Campbell 
Lake NDB 031 deg.'' and ``Glenallen, AK, NDB 253 deg.'' to ``Glenallen, 
AK, NDB 255 deg.,'' this amendment is the same as that proposed in the 
notice. Green Colored Federal airways are published in paragraph 
6009(a) and Alaskan Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(b) 
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 Colored 
Federal airway and the Alaskan Federal airway listed in this document 
will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 
modifies Colored Federal Airway G-8 by realigning it to avoid 
Restricted Areas R-2203A, R-2203B and R-2203C. Realigning Alaskan 
Federal Airway V-328, as a direct route between Dillingham, AK, and 
Kipnuk, AK, will result in a lower MEA of 9,000 feet. This action will 
enhance the flow of traffic.
    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.
