SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On January 21, 2005, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify J-133, J-889, B-25, and 
A-1; and revoke J-711 in Alaska (70 FR 3156). The FAA Alaskan Region 
determined that continued operation of the Hinchinbrook, AK, NDB was in 
jeopardy at its current location, and that action was required to 
reconfigure the airways using the Orca Bay, AK, NDB. 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.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 (part 71) to revoke J-711, and to modify J-133, J-889R, B-25, 
and A-1 in Alaska. The FAA is taking this action to remove all airways 
and routes off the Hinchinbrook, AK, NDB in preparation for the 
commissioning of the Orca Bay NDB on May 1, 2005.
    Colored Federal airways and jet routes are published in paragraphs 
6009(c) and paragraph 2004, respectively, 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 colored Federal airway 
and Alaskan VOR Federal airways listed in this document would 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.
