(202)267-9677, for a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application procedure. History Southern California Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) requested modification of V-363 to circumnavigate the Camp Pendleton restricted area 2503D. This action would avoid the entire Camp Pendleton, CA, range complex. This proposed action responds to that request. Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 (part 71) to realign V-363. The proposed amendment would change the alignment of V-363 between the Pomona VORTAC and the Mission Bay VORTAC. This amendment would provide users with a routing that avoids the Camp Pendleton, CA, range complex. The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this proposed regulation:

(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 proposed 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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air). The Proposed Amendment In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows: PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, B, C, D, AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS 1. The authority citation for part 71 continues to read as follows: Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40103, 40113, 40120; E.O. 10854, 24 FR 9565, 3 CFR, 1959-1963 Comp., p.389. § 71.1 [Amended] 2. The incorporation by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 of the Federal Aviation Administration Order 7400.9M, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 30, 2004, and effective September 16, 2004, is amended as follows: Paragraph 6010 Federal Airways. V-363 [Revised] From Mission Bay, CA; INT Mission Bay, CA, 341° and Santa Catalina, CA, 103° radials; to INT Santa Catalina, CA, 103° and Mission Bay, CA, 327° radials; to INT Mission Bay, CA, 327° and El Toro, CA, 172° radials; to INT El Toro, CA, 339° and Pomona, CA, 179° radials; to Pomona, CA. Issued in Washington, DC, on March 3, 2005. Edith V. Parish, Acting Manager, Airspace and Rules. [FR Doc. 05-4909 Filed 3-11-05; 8:45 am]
