Amend Legal Description of Federal Airway V-611

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This action amends the legal description of Federal Airway 611 (V-611). The legal description for V-611, detailed in a final rule published in the Federal Register on December 12, 1997, contained an inadvertent error in the segment between Billings, MT, and Lewistown, MT. This action corrects that error.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, September 6, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken McElroy, Airspace and Rules Division, ATA-400, Office of Air Traffic Airspace Management, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267-8783.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The FAA is taking this action to correct the mileage listed in the description of V-611. VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010 of FAA Order 7400.9H dated September 1, 2000, and effective September 16, 2000, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The corrected description for V-611 will be listed in this document and be published subsequently in the order.

Final Rule

This action amends Title 14 CFR part 71 (part 71) by amending the legal description of V-611, detailed in a final rule published in the Federal Register on December 12, 1997, due to an inadvertent error in the segment between Billings, MT, and Lewistown, MT. The FAA is taking this action to change the referenced ``38 miles,'' to read ``71 miles.'' This action corrects that error.

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.

VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010 of FAA Order 7400.9H, dated September 1, 2000, and effectiveSeptember 16, 2000, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The VOR Federal airway listed in this document will be published subsequently in the order.
