(J-62) in the states of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Specific 
portions of both airways and the jet route, in the above mentioned

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On December 21, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations part 71 (14 CFR part 71) to alter V-99, V-
451, and J-62 (60 FR 66181). 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. Jet Routes and Domestic Very 
High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airways are 
published in paragraphs 2004 and 6010(a), respectively, 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 jet route and airways 
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 alters V-99, V-451, and J-62. 
Specific portions of both the airways and the jet route are no longer 
necessary for navigation and are being revoked. The airspace 
designation for V-99 will be revoked between Hartford, CT, and the 
GRAYM intersection; V-451 will be revoked between Groton, CT, and the 
SEEDY intersection; and J-62 will be revoked east of the Nantucket, CT, 
VOR. Removing these obsolete segments will eliminate clutter on 
aeronautical charts.
    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.
