No comments were received. With the exception of editorial changes, this amendment is the same as that published in the notice of proposed rulemaking. The Rule The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by revoking J–888R and J–996R. The Anchorage ARTCC requested the two RNAV Jet Routes be removed from the National Airspace System because they are no longer being used. The first route is J–888R from AMOTT (near Anchorage, AK) and ends at OZZIE (south of Bethel, AK). The second route is J–996R from Cape Newenham, AK, and ends at AMOTT (near Anchorage, AK). The FAA is taking this action to enhance the efficient use of the navigable airspace in Alaska. 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 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 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. The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency’s authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it revokes RNAV Routes in Alaska.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 3, 2008, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to revoke two area navigation 
routes in Alaska. Interested parties were invited to participate in 
this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written comments on the 
proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. With the exception of 
editorial changes, this amendment is the same as that published in the 
notice of proposed rulemaking.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by revoking J-888R and J-996R. The Anchorage ARTCC requested 
the two RNAV Jet Routes be removed from the National Airspace System 
because they are no longer being used. The first route is J-888R from 
AMOTT (near Anchorage, AK) and ends at OZZIE (south of Bethel, AK). The 
second route is J-996R from Cape Newenham, AK, and ends at AMOTT (near 
Anchorage, AK). The FAA is taking this action to enhance the efficient 
use of the navigable airspace in Alaska.
    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 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 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.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is 
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106 
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's 
authority.
    This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in 
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the 
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the 
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient 
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority 
as it revokes RNAV Routes in Alaska.

Environmental Review

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