Proposed Modification of Jet Route J-41; FL
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.
SUMMARY: This action withdraws the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published in the Federal Register on August 8, 1998. The FAA proposed to modify Jet Route J-41 (J-41) by altering J-41 between the Lee County, FL, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) and the Seminole, FL, VORTAC. Since the issuance of the NPRM, the FAA has taken other actions to enhance the management of aircraft operations in the west/central Florida area. Based on this latter action, the FAA is withdrawing the notice to modify J-41.
DATE: This withdrawal is made on March 14, 2000.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Terry Brown, 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: On August 8, 1998, an NPRM was published in the Federal Register proposing to amend 14 CFR part 71 to modify J-41 (63 FR 41485). Interested parties were invited to participate in the rulemaking process by submitting written data, views, or arguments regarding the proposal. No comments were received on the proposal.
The FAA originally proposed to modify J-41 to improve the management of aircraft operating in the west/central area of Florida and eliminate congestion in the area around the St. Petersburg VORTAC. Since the issuance of this NPRM, the FAA has expanded the service volume of the Seminole VORTAC which has eliminated congestion over the St. Petersburg VORTAC by allowing dual flows of aircraft into the west/ central Florida area. In light of this recent improvement, the FAA has decided to withdraw its proposal to modify J-41 at this time.
