Revision of Jet Route 94

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action realigns a segment of Jet Route 94 (J-94) between 
the Oakland, CA, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air 
Navigation (VORTAC) and the Mustang, NV, VORTAC. Specifically, the FAA 
is taking this action to realign the current route segment between the 
Oakland VORTAC and the Mustang VORTAC that is unusable for navigation. 
This action will enhance air safety, simplify routings, and reduce 
controller workload.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, July 7, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On October 1, 2004, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking to realign J-94 for flights serving 
destinations between California and the East (69 FR 58859). Interested 
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by 
submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments 
objecting to the proposal were received. With the exception of 
editorial changes, this amendment is the same as that proposed in the 
notice.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 (part 71) by realigning a segment of J-94 between the Oakland, 
CA, VORTAC and the Mustang, NV, VORTAC. The current route segment is 
currently unusable for air navigation. This amendment will restore the 
use of J-94 for flights serving destinations between California and the 
East.
    Jet routes are published in paragraph 2004 of FAA Order 7400.9M 
dated August 30, 2004, and effective September 16, 2004, 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 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 
proposed 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.
