SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On February 26, 2002, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice proposing to amend Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 to revise J-10, between Farmington, NM, VORTAC, and the HIPPI 
intersection (67 FR 8743). Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
the proposal. No comments were received.

The Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 71 to revise J-10 between the 
Farmington, NM, VORTAC, and the HIPPI intersection. The current J-10 
route is aligned from Farmington, NM, via the Drake, AZ, VORTAC, to the 
HIPPI intersection. This action realigns J-10 from Farmington, NM, to 
the Flagstaff VORTAC, to the HIPPI intersection. This change is part of 
the FAA's National Airspace Redesign effort and is intended to improve 
the management of aircraft operations in Arizona.
    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 Department of Transportation (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, 
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    Jet routes are published in paragraph 2004, 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 jet route listed in this 
document would be published subsequently in the order.

Environmental Review

    In accordance with FAA Order 1050.1D, ``Policies and Procedures for 
Considering Environmental Impacts,'' and the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969, this action is not categorically excluded.
