Abstract
This amendment adopts miscellaneous amendments to the required IFR (instrument flight rules) altitudes and changeover points for certain Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes for which a minimum or maximum en-route authorized IFR altitude is prescribed. This regulatory action is needed because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System. These changes are designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace under instrument conditions in the affected areas.

14 CFR Part 95
[Docket No. 31669; Amdt. No. 592]
IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous Amendments
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This amendment adopts miscellaneous amendments to the required
IFR (instrument flight rules) altitudes and changeover points for
certain Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes for which a
minimum or maximum en-route authorized IFR altitude is prescribed. This
regulatory action is needed because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System. These changes are designed to provide for the
safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace under instrument
conditions in the affected areas.
DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, July 9, 2026.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Murphy, Manager, Aeronautical
Information Services, Aeronautical Information Group, Aeronautical Data
Team, Federal Aviation Administration. Mailing Address: FAA
Headquarter, Aeronautical Information Group, 800 Independence Ave. SW,
Bldg. 10A, Room 507L, Washington, DC 20591. Telephone (202) 267-4389.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This amendment to part 95 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95) amends, suspends, or revokes IFR
altitudes governing the operation of all aircraft in flight over a
specified route or any portion of that route, as well as the changeover
points (COPs) for Federal airways, jet routes, or direct routes as
prescribed in part 95.
The Rule
The specified IFR altitudes, when used in conjunction with the
prescribed changeover points for those routes, ensure navigation aid
coverage that is
[[Page 35133]]
adequate for safe flight operations and free of frequency interference.
The reasons and circumstances that create the need for this amendment
involve matters of flight safety and operational efficiency in the
National Airspace System, are related to published aeronautical charts
that are essential to the user and provide for the safe and efficient
use of the navigable airspace. In addition, those various reasons or
circumstances require making this amendment effective before the next
scheduled charting and publication date of the flight information to
assure its timely availability to the user. The effective date of this
amendment reflects those considerations. In view of the close and
immediate relationship between these regulatory changes and safety in
air commerce, I find that notice and public procedure before adopting
this amendment are impracticable and contrary to the public interest
and that good cause exists for making the amendment effective in less
than 30 days.
Conclusion
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 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. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
