Supplementary Information
History
On October 5, 1995, the FAA proposed to amend Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations part 71 (14 CFR part 71) to extend V-268 (60 FR 52134). Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments objecting to the proposal were received. Except for editorial changes, this amendment is the same as that proposed in the notice. Domestic VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order 7400.9C dated August 17, 1995, and effective September 16, 1995, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The airway listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 extends V-268 from the BURDY intersection in Rhode Island to the Augusta, ME, VOR. Extending V-268 will provide a transition route to support the approach at the Portland International Jetport Airport, ME, thereby, simplifying air traffic procedures and enhancing air traffic service. In addition, the airspace designation included a reference to R-4001, which is corrected to R- 4001B. 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. 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 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.
