ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: This action amends two VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airway legal descriptions in the State of Hawaii. The FAA is taking this action to remove exclusions to restricted airspace areas that have been removed from the National Airspace System (NAS). DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, March 10, 2011. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken McElroy, Airspace Regulation and ATC Procedures Group, Office of Mission Support Services, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267–8783. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: WReier-Aviles on DSKDVH8Z91PROD with RULES History The FAA Honolulu Control Facility conducted a review of the facility airspace areas and found that two Federal Airways, V–2 and V–21, contained exclusions to restricted airspace that was removed from the NAS several years ago. Accordingly, since this is an administrative change and does not involve a change in the boundaries, altitudes or operating procedures of this airspace, notice and public procedure under Title 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. The Rule This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by amending two VOR Federal Airways, V–2 and V–21, located in the State of Hawaii by removing all references to Restricted Area R–3104A and R–3104B from the legal descriptions. Hawaiian VOR Federal Airways are listed in paragraph 6010(c) of FAA Order 7400.9U dated August 18, 2010, and effective September 15, 2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Federal airways listed in this document will be revised subsequently in the Order. VerDate Mar<15>2010 13:37 Jan 14, 2011 Jkt 223001 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 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. The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, section 106 describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency’s authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in subtitle VII, part A, subpart I, section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it amends two VOR Federal airways in Hawaii.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: History The FAA was notified November 30, 2010, that Canadian Authorities had removed the BORAN intersection and established the TOVAD intersection as a compulsory reporting point on the U.S./ Canada border effective November 18, 2010. This action is in response to those changes.

The Rule The FAA amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by removing the BORAN reporting point and establishing the TOVAD Compulsory Reporting Point on the U.S./Canadian border. Alaskan High Altitude Reporting Points are listed in paragraph 7005 of FAA Order 7400.9U dated August 18, 2010, and effective September 15, 2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.

History

    In a final rule published in the Federal Register July 8, 2010 (75 
FR 39148) Airspace Docket No. 09-ANM-25, the airspace description for 
the Lucin VORTAC, Lucin, UT, incorrectly referenced the existing Class 
E en route domestic airspace exclusion above 8,500 feet MSL. As 
written, the wording may cause confusion as to the exclusion of the 
existing controlled airspace at 8,500 feet MSL. It should read 8,500 
feet and above MSL.
    The FAA's Aeronautical Products office correctly charted the 
airspace and requested the correction be made. Accordingly, since this 
is an administrative change, and does not involve a change in the 
dimensions, altitudes, or operating requirements of that airspace, 
notice and public procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
