Current format guidelines for these legal descriptions require that the order of points in a description be listed from ‘‘south-to-north’’ or from ‘‘west-toeast,’’ as applicable. The description for J–233 in the NPRM listed the points from ‘‘north-to-south,’’ in error. The rule simply reverses the order of the points listed for J–233 to a ‘‘south-to-north’’ format for standardization. The route structure is unchanged from that proposed in the NPRM. emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with RULES The Rule This action amends Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by modifying Jet Routes J–45, J–151, and J– 233, and high altitude RNAV route Q– 19. The DSM, VOR radial restrictions have made this action necessary. The route modifications are outlined below. J–45: J–45 extends between Virginia Key, FL, and Aberdeen, SD. The route segment between the St Louis, MO (STL), and DSM VORTACs is relocated over the Kirksville, MO (IRK), VORTAC and extended approximately four nautical miles (NM) to restore navigable route structure using serviceable DSM VOR radials. J–151: J–151 extends between Cross City, FL, and Whitehall, MT. The route segment between STL and O’Neil, NE (ONL), VORTACs is realigned over the IRK and Omaha, NE (OVR), VORTACs, providing a nearly direct routing from STL to ONL and reducing the route segment by 12.5 NM. J–233: J–233 extends between STL and Waterloo, IA (ALO). The route is realigned over the IRK VORTAC to resolve an extended service volume flight check failure impacting the navigable use of the route. Q–19: Q–19 extends between Nashville, TN (BNA), and the PLESS fix, overlying a portion of J–45. The route is extended northwest from the PLESS fix over the STL VORTAC to the DSM VORTAC, retaining a direct routing capability between STL and DSM for aircraft capable of flying RNAV routes. The navigation aid radials cited in the proposed Jet Route and high altitude RNAV route descriptions below, are stated relative to True north. Jet Routes are published in paragraph 2004 and high altitude RNAV routes (Q) are published in paragraph 2006, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9X dated August 7, 2013, and effective September 15, 2013, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Jet Routes and high altitude RNAV route 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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, does 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 modifies the route structure as necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the NAS. 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.

VerDate Mar<15>2010 VORTAC Jkt 232001 30019 The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to correct two points used to define the boundaries of Area G in the description of the Philadelphia Class B airspace area. Specifically, the point that reads ‘‘. . .the intersection of the PHL 20-mile radius and the 136° bearing from PHL. . .’’ is changed to read ‘‘. . .the intersection of the 17.9-mile radius and the 138° bearing from PHL. . . .’’ This point appears in two places in the Area G description. In addition, the point that reads ‘‘. . .the intersection of the PHL 20-mile radius and the 120° bearing from PHL. . .’’ is changed to read ‘‘. . .the intersection of the 20-mile radius and the 118° bearing from PHL. . . .’’ This point appears once in the Area G description. This change results in a small reduction in the lateral dimensions of Class B airspace, southeast of Philadelphia International Airport, near the Cross Keys Airport, NJ (17N). This action does not modify any other parts of the Philadelphia Class B airspace area. Class B airspace areas are published in paragraph 3000 of FAA Order 7400.9X dated August 7, 2013, and effective September 15, 2013, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class B airspace area 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 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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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 makes editorial corrections to an existing Class B airspace description to maintain accuracy. Regulatory Evaluation Summary Changes to federal regulations must undergo several economic analyses. First, Executive Order 12866 and Executive Order 13563 direct that each Federal agency shall propose or adopt a regulation only upon a reasoned determination that the benefits of the intended regulation justify its costs. Second, the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (Public Law 96–354) requires agencies to analyze the economic impact of regulatory changes on small entities. Third, the Trade Agreements Act (Pub. L. 96–39) prohibits agencies from setting standards that create unnecessary obstacles to the foreign commerce of the United States. In developing U.S. standards, the Trade Act requires agencies to consider international standards and, where appropriate, that they be the basis of U.S. standards. Fourth, the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4) requires agencies to prepare a written assessment of the costs, benefits, and other effects of proposed or final rules that include a Federal mandate likely to result in the expenditure by State, local, or tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more annually (adjusted for inflation with base year of 1995). This portion of the preamble summarizes the FAA’s analysis of the economic impacts of this final rule. Department of Transportation Order DOT 2100.5 prescribes policies and procedures for simplification, analysis, and review of regulations. If the expected cost impact is so minimal that a final rule does not warrant a full evaluation, this order permits that a statement to that effect and the basis for it to be included in the preamble if a full regulatory evaluation of the cost and benefits is not prepared. Such a determination has been made for this E:\FR\FM\27MYR1.SGM 27MYR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History

    On Wednesday, January 22, 2014, the FAA published in the Federal 
Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify J-45, J-151, 
J-233, and Q-19 in the vicinity of the DSM VORTAC, Des Moines, IA (79 
FR 3545). Interested parties were invited to participate in this 
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on this proposal to 
the FAA. No comments were received in response to the NPRM.

Differences From the NPRM

    Subsequent to publication of the NPRM, an error in the J-233 route

[[Page 30018]]

description format was identified. Airway and route legal descriptions 
are published in FAA Order 7400.9X, Airspace Designations and Reporting 
Points. Current format guidelines for these legal descriptions require 
that the order of points in a description be listed from ``south-to-
north'' or from ``west-to-east,'' as applicable. The description for J-
233 in the NPRM listed the points from ``north-to-south,'' in error. 
The rule simply reverses the order of the points listed for J-233 to a 
``south-to-north'' format for standardization. The route structure is 
unchanged from that proposed in the NPRM.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 by modifying Jet Routes J-45, J-151, and J-233, and high 
altitude RNAV route Q-19. The DSM, VOR radial restrictions have made 
this action necessary. The route modifications are outlined below.
    J-45: J-45 extends between Virginia Key, FL, and Aberdeen, SD. The 
route segment between the St Louis, MO (STL), and DSM VORTACs is 
relocated over the Kirksville, MO (IRK), VORTAC and extended 
approximately four nautical miles (NM) to restore navigable route 
structure using serviceable DSM VOR radials.
    J-151: J-151 extends between Cross City, FL, and Whitehall, MT. The 
route segment between STL and O'Neil, NE (ONL), VORTACs is realigned 
over the IRK and Omaha, NE (OVR), VORTACs, providing a nearly direct 
routing from STL to ONL and reducing the route segment by 12.5 NM.
    J-233: J-233 extends between STL and Waterloo, IA (ALO). The route 
is realigned over the IRK VORTAC to resolve an extended service volume 
flight check failure impacting the navigable use of the route.
    Q-19: Q-19 extends between Nashville, TN (BNA), and the PLESS fix, 
overlying a portion of J-45. The route is extended northwest from the 
PLESS fix over the STL VORTAC to the DSM VORTAC, retaining a direct 
routing capability between STL and DSM for aircraft capable of flying 
RNAV routes.
    The navigation aid radials cited in the proposed Jet Route and high 
altitude RNAV route descriptions below, are stated relative to True 
north.
    Jet Routes are published in paragraph 2004 and high altitude RNAV 
routes (Q) are published in paragraph 2006, respectively, of FAA Order 
7400.9X dated August 7, 2013, and effective September 15, 2013, which 
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Jet Routes and high 
altitude RNAV route 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 only affects air traffic 
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when 
promulgated, does 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 modifies the route structure as necessary to preserve the safe 
and efficient flow of air traffic within the NAS.

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. 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.
