SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On February 6, 1996, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 of the Code 
of Regulations part 71 (14 CFR part 71) to establish a Colored Federal 
Airway, B-9, in Florida (61 FR 04380). Interested parties were invited 
by the FAA to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting 
written comments on the proposal. Except for editorial changes, this 
amendment is the same as proposed in the notice. Colored Federal 
airways are published in paragraph 6009(d) of FAA Order 7400.9C dated 
August 17, 1995, and 95-ASO-20 2 effective September 16, 1995, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Colored Federal airway 
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 establishes a new Colored Federal 
Airway, B-9, from the DEEDS Intersection to the Marathon NDB, FL. This 
action will enhance the management of air traffic and accommodate the 
users of that airspace.
    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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
