Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 97-ANM-9]


Modifications of the Legal Descriptions of Federal Airways in the 
Vicinity of Colorado Springs, CO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action delays the effective date for the modifications to 
the legal descriptions of Federal Airways V-19, V-81, V-83, and V-108 
until April 23, 1998. The FAA is taking this action due to a 
requirement for additional coordination with internal offices of the 
FAA.

DATES: The effective date of 0901 UTC, February 26, 1998, is delayed 
until 0901 UTC, April 23, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken McElroy, Airspace and Rules 
Division, ATA-400, Office of Air Traffic Airspace Management, Federal 
Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 
20591; telephone: (202) 267-8783.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Airspace Docket No. 97-ANM-9, published in 
the Federal Register on December 12, 1997 (62 FR 65358), modified the 
legal descriptions of Federal Airways V-19, V-81, V-83, and V-108 by 
replacing the name ``Colorado Springs'' VORTAC with ``Black Forest'' 
VORTAC. The effective date of this change is delayed until April 23, 
1998.
    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. 
Therefore, this regulation: (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.
