DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

14 CFR Part 71

[Airspace Docket No. 93-AGL-13]

Alteration of Jet Route J-34

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action changes the description of Jet Route J-34 located

between the Badger, WI, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/

Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) facility, the Grand Rapids, MI, Very

High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/

DME) facility, and the Carleton, MI, VORTAC. This change removes the

reference to the radials from the navigational aids (NAVAIDS), and

designates the Grand Rapids, MI, (GRR) VOR/DME as the turning point for

aircraft transiting from the Badger, WI, (BAE) VORTAC to the Carleton,

MI, (CRL) VORTAC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

On September 15, 1993, the FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 71) to alter the description

of Jet Route J-34 (58 FR 48331). Interested parties were invited to

participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments objecting to the

proposal were received. Except for editorial changes, this amendment is

the same as that proposed in the notice. Jet routes are published in

paragraph 2004 of FAA Order 7400.9A dated June 17, 1993, and effective

September 16, 1993, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1

(58 FR 36298; July 6, 1993). The jet route listed in this document will

be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

This amendment to part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations

amends the description of Jet Route J-34 by removing the reference to

the radials from the NAVAIDS and designates the Grand Rapids, MI, (GRR)

VOR/DME as the turning point for aircraft transiting from the Badger,

WI, (BAE) VORTAC to the Carleton, MI, (CRL) VORTAC.

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.

It, therefore--(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 will not have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
