The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Background
On October 10, 1996, the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex Plan (DFW/MP) was implemented. The DFW/MP was a major airspace redesign project which, in part, decommissioned four Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) and relocated and commissioned four new VORTAC facilities. The four new navigational VORTAC facilities were designed to enhance the management of aircraft operations in the vicinity of DFW. In support of the DFW/MP, the FAA amended twelve VOR Federal airways (61 FR 41736). However, since the implementation of this amended Federal airway structure the FAA has discovered that further amendment of the existing airway structure would improve aircraft movement and thus management of the navigable airspace in the DFW area. Therefore, revisions to the current airway system in the DFW area are necessary.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing to amend part 71 of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations to revise fourteen Federal airways in the vicinity of Dallas/Fort Worth, TX. The proposed rule would amend the following Federal airways: V-15, V-16, V-17, V-566 by modifying the route descriptions; V-63, V-69, V-131, V-305, V-507, V-573 by amending the start points; and V-66, V-163, V-358, and V-407 by modifying the end points. The FAA is proposing this action to simplify the airway structure, thereby, enhancing the management of aircraft operations in the area.
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 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 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.
Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order 7400.9G dated September 1, 1999, and effective September 16, 1999, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Federal airways listed in this document would be published subsequently in the Order.
