The FAA is taking this action to enhance the safety and management of aircraft operations in Alaska. EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, May 12, 2005. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken McElroy, Airspace and Rules, Office of System Operations and Safety, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267–8783. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: keep them operationally current. Therefore, this proposed 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 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. History On September 3, 2004, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice proposing to establish G–16 (69 FR 53860), a new IFR route in Alaska. This action would convert an uncharted non-regulatory part 95 route to a colored Federal airway. The route conversion provides an airway structure to support existing commercial services in Alaska. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were received. With the exception of editorial changes, this amendment is the same as that proposed in the notice. Environmental Review The Rule The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 (part 71) to extend G–16 from the Put River, NDB, to the Barter Island, NDB in Alaska. This action adds to the IFR airway and route structure in Alaska. The FAA is taking this action to enhance the safety and management of aircraft operations in Alaska. Adoption of this Federal airway: (1) Provides pilots with minimum en route altitudes and minimum obstruction clearance altitudes information; (2) establishes controlled airspace thus eliminating some of the commercial IFR operations in uncontrolled airspace; and (3) improves the management of air traffic operations and thereby enhance safety. Green Colored Federal Airways are published in paragraph 6009(a) 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 Green Colored Federal Airway listed in this document will be published subsequently in the order. The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to Adoption of the Amendment VerDate jul<14>2003 16:29 Feb 04, 2005 Jkt 205001 The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance with Paragraph 311(a) of FAA Order 1050.1E, Policies and Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts. This airspace action is not expected to cause any potentially significant impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.

AGENCY: SUMMARY: This amendment adopts miscellaneous amendments to the required IFR (instrument flight rules) altitudes and changeover points for certain Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes for which a minimum or maximum en route authorized IFR altitude is prescribed. This regulatory action is needed because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System. These changes are designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace under instrument conditions in the affected areas. EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, March 17, 2005.

Pate, Flight Procedure Standards Branch (AMCAFS–420), Flight Technologies and Programs Division, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125) telephone: (405) 954–4164. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to part 95 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95) amends, suspends, or revokes IFR altitudes governing the operation of all aircraft in flight over a specified route PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 6337 or any portion of that route, as well as the changeover points (COPs) for Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes as prescribed in part 95. The Rule The specified IFR altitudes, when used in conjunction with the prescribed changeover points for those routes, ensure navigation aid coverage that is adequate for safe flight operations and free of frequency interference. The reasons and circumstances that create the need for this amendment involve matters of flight safety and operational efficiency in the National Airspace System, are related to published aeronautical charts that are essential to the user, and provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace. In addition, those various reasons or circumstances require making this amendment effective before the next scheduled charting and publication date of the flight information to assure its timely availability to the user. The effective date of this amendment reflects those considerations. In view of the close and immediate relationship between these regulatory changes and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and public procedure before adopting this amendment are impracticable and contrary to the public interest and that good cause exists for making the amendment effective in less than 30 days. Conclusion 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. For the same reason, the FAA certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUMMARY: This action establishes Federal Airway 623 (V-623) between the 
Sparta, NJ, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range Tactical Air 
Navigation (VORTAC) and the Carmel, NY, Very High Frequency 
Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME). The FAA 
is taking this action to enhance the management of aircraft transiting 
from the New England area to airports in the Newark, NJ, area.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, May 12, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On November 23, 2004, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice proposing to establish V-623 (69 FR 68105). Interested parties 
were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting 
written comments on this proposal to the FAA. No comments were received 
in response to the proposal.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 (part 71) by establishing V-623 in the vicinity of Newark, NJ, 
between the Sparta, NJ, VORTAC, and the Carmel,

NY, VOR/DME. The FAA is taking this action to enhance the management of 
aircraft transiting from the New England area to airports in the 
Newark, NJ, area.
    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 VOR Federal Airway 
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 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.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical 
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance 
with Paragraph 311(a) of FAA Order 1050.1E, Policies and Procedures for 
Considering Environmental Impacts. This airspace action is not expected 
to cause any potentially significant impacts, and no extraordinary 
circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental 
assessment.
