(Secs. 313(a), 601(a), 607, Federal Aviation Act of 1958; 49 U.S.C. 1354(a), 1421(a), 1427) NOTE: The recordkeeping and reporting requirements contained herein have been approved by the Bureau of the Budget in accordance with the Federal Reports Act of 1942. Issued in Washington, D.C., on September 5, 1968. D.D. THOMAS, Acting Administrator [F.R. Doc. GB-11051; Filed, Sept. 11, 1968; 8:49 a.m.] SUBCHAPTER E-AIRSPACE [Airspace Docket No. 68-EA-86] PART 71-DESIGNATION OF FEDERAL AIRWAYS, CONTROLLED AIRSPACE, AND REPORTING POINTS Alteration of Federal Airway The purpose of this amendment to Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations is to redescribe the easter terminus of V-147 as the INT of New Castle, Del., 058 and Pottstown, Pa., 143 True radials in lieu of the Philadelphia, Pa., International Airport ILS localizer. This would provide continuity in the airway structure by extending V-147 approximately 1 mile southeastward to connect with V-157, northeast of New Castle. Since this amendment is minor in nature and will facilitate air navigation and air traffic control service, the Administrator has determined that notice and public procedure hereon is unnecessary. However, since it is necessary to allow sufficient time to make the appropriate changes to aeronautical charts, this amendment will become effective more than 30 days after publication. In consideration of the foregoing, Part 71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations is amended, effective 0901 G.m.t., November 14, 1968, as hereinafter set forth. Section 71.123 (33 F.R. 2009) is amended as follows: In V-147 all before "12 ACL Allentown, Pa.:" is deleted and "From INT New Castle. Del., 058 and Pottstown, Pa., 143 radials; 12 AGL Pottstown: "is substituted therefor. FEDERAL REGISTER, VOL. 33, NO. 178-THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1968
