SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On November 9, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 of the Code 
of Federal Regulations part 71 (14 CFR part 71) to establish J-181 
located in the vicinity of Dallas-Fort Worth, TX (58 FR 59422). 
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 are published in paragraph 2004 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 listed in this 
document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 establishes J-181 between the 
Dallas-Fort Worth, TX, metroplex area and the Chicago O'Hare, IL, 
terminal area. This route provides improved en route and arrival 
traffic flow into the Chicago area. This action enhances the movement 
of traffic, minimizes air traffic delays, and reduces the 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
