History

    Southern California Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) 
requested modification of V-363 to circumnavigate the Camp Pendleton 
restricted area 2503D. This action would avoid the entire Camp 
Pendleton, CA, range complex. This proposed action responds to that 
request.

Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 (part 71) to realign V-363. The proposed 
amendment would change the alignment of V-363 between the Pomona VORTAC 
and the Mission Bay VORTAC. This amendment would provide users with a 
routing that avoids the Camp Pendleton, CA, range complex.
    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 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 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.
