[Docket No. FAA-2002-12007; Airspace Docket No. 02-ACE-02]


Revision of Federal Airway V-220; NE

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action corrects the legal description of Federal Airway

description incorrectly includes a reference to Grande Island, NE.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, August 8, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Rohring, Airspace and Rules 
Division, ATA-400, Office of Air Traffic Airspace Management, Federal 
Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 21, 2001, a review of Federal airways in the Kearney, 
NE, area revealed that the current legal description of V-220 contained 
an inadvertent reference to Grande Island, NE. The description should 
refer to the ``Kearney, NE, 237 deg. radial'' rather than the ``Grande 
Island, NE, 241 deg. radial.'' This action corrects that error.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 corrects the legal description of 
V-220 between McCook, NE, and Kearney, NE. Specifically, the ``Grande 
Island, NE, 241 deg. radial'' is changed to read ``Kearney, NE, 
237 deg. radial.''
    Since this action simply corrects the legal description by removing 
the reference to Grande Island, NE, I find that notice and public 
procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary to the 
public interest.
    This regulation is limited to 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 it has been determined that 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.
    Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order 
7400.9J dated August 31, 2001, and effective September 16, 2001, which 
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Federal airway listed 
in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical 
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance 
with FAA Order 1050.1D, Policies and Procedures for Considering 
Environmental Impacts. This airspace action is not expected to cause 
any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary 
circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental 
assessment.
