SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On November 23, 2004, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice proposing to establish V-623 (69 FR 68105). Interested parties
were invited to participate in this rulemaking proceeding by submitting
written comments on this proposal to the FAA. No comments were received
in response to the proposal.
The Rule
The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 (part 71) by establishing V-623 in the vicinity of Newark, NJ,
between the Sparta, NJ, VORTAC, and the Carmel,
[[Page 6337]]
NY, VOR/DME. The FAA is taking this action to enhance the management of
aircraft transiting from the New England area to airports in the
Newark, NJ, area.
VOR Federal Airways are published in paragraph 6010 of FAA Order
7400.9M dated August 30, 2004 and effective September 16, 2004, 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.
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.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with Paragraph 311(a) of FAA Order 1050.1E, Policies and Procedures for
Considering Environmental Impacts. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant impacts, and no extraordinary
circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental
assessment.
