SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On Thursday, February 4, 2010, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to modify jet routes J–37 and J–55 (75 FR 5704). Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were received. Currently J–37 terminates at a point in space on the U.S./Canadian border rather than at a navigation aid facility or established navigation fix. Similarly, J– 55 crosses the border at an undefined point in space and extends into E:\FR\FM\21APR1.SGM 21APR1 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 76 / Wednesday, April 21, 2010 / Rules and Regulations Canadian airspace. These factors cause flight plan processing issues for ERAM. Terminating the routes at a navigation aid facility prior to the border will resolve these issues. erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES The Rule The FAA is amending Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by terminating Jet Route J–37 at the Massena, NY, VHF omnidirectional range/tactical air navigation (VORTAC) facility; and terminating Jet Route J–55 at the Presque Isle, ME, VHF omnidirectional range/distance measuring equipment (VOR/DME) facility. This action will enhance the safety and management of aircraft operations within the National Airspace System. Jet routes are published in paragraph 2004 of FAA Order 7400.9T dated August 27, 2009 and effective September 15, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The jet routes listed in this document will be subsequently published 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 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 amends a portion of the en route VerDate Nov<24>2008 13:15 Apr 20, 2010 Jkt 220001 structure to enhance the safe and efficient use of the NAS in Florida. 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: Policies and Procedures,’’ paragraph 311a and 311b. 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.

SUMMARY: This action modifies Jet Routes J-37 and J-55 by terminating 
the routes at navigation aid facilities prior to the U.S./Canadian 
border. The FAA is taking this action to support the En Route 
Automation Modernization (ERAM) program.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, June 3, 2010. The Director of the Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On Thursday, February 4, 2010, the FAA published in the Federal 
Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to modify jet routes J-37 and 
J-55 (75 FR 5704). Interested parties were invited to participate in 
this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. 
No comments were received.
    Currently J-37 terminates at a point in space on the U.S./Canadian 
border rather than at a navigation aid facility or established 
navigation fix. Similarly, J-55 crosses the border at an undefined 
point in space and extends into

Canadian airspace. These factors cause flight plan processing issues 
for ERAM. Terminating the routes at a navigation aid facility prior to 
the border will resolve these issues.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by terminating Jet Route J-37 at the Massena, NY, VHF 
omnidirectional range/tactical air navigation (VORTAC) facility; and 
terminating Jet Route J-55 at the Presque Isle, ME, VHF omnidirectional 
range/distance measuring equipment (VOR/DME) facility. This action will 
enhance the safety and management of aircraft operations within the 
National Airspace System.
    Jet routes are published in paragraph 2004 of FAA Order 7400.9T 
dated August 27, 2009 and effective September 15, 2009, which is 
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The jet routes listed in this 
document will be subsequently published 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 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 amends a portion of the en route structure to enhance the safe 
and efficient use of the NAS in Florida.

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: Policies and 
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a and 311b. 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.
