SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On February 7, 2005, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
final rule establishing V-623 (70 FR 6336) with an effective date of 
May 12, 2005. However, navigation aid signal coverage problems have 
been identified which remain unresolved. As a result, the FAA has 
decided to revoke V-623.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by revoking VOR Federal airway V-623. The FAA is taking this 
action due to unresolved navigation aid signal coverage problems along 
segments of the route.
    VOR Federal Airways are published in paragraph 6010 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 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, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
