AGENCY:
This action withdraws the
final rule, technical amendment
published in the Federal Register on
April 25, 2017. In that action, the FAA
amended Class E Airspace at Grant
County International Airport, Moses
Lake, WA, and Olympia Regional
Airport, Olympia, WA. The FAA has
determined that withdrawal of the final
rule, technical amendment is warranted
since a change in the geographic
coordinates of the airports will affect the
charted boundaries of the airspace, and
therefore should be considered under
the full rulemaking process.

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
amending Class E Airspace designated
as an extension to a Class D or Class E
surface area at Grant County
International Airport, Moses Lake, WA,
and Olympia Regional Airport,
Olympia, WA, by eliminating the Notice
to Airmen (NOTAM) part-time status.
Additionally, the action updated the
geographic coordinates of Grant County
International Airport, and Fairchild
AFB, as listed in the Grant County
International Airport Class D and Class
E legal descriptions. The FAA found
that by updating the geographic
coordinates of the airports, the charted
boundaries of the airspace were affected
sufficiently to warrant full consideration
under the rulemaking process. As a
result, the final rule, technical
amendment is being withdrawn.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority for This Rulemaking
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 modifies the
air traffic service route structure in the
eastern United States to maintain the
efficient flow of air traffic.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
History
On December 1, 2016, the FAA
published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to amend VOR Federal airways V–16,
V–94 and V–124, due to the planned
decommissioning of the Jacks Creek,
TN, VOR/DME (81 FR 86633) Docket
No. 2016–9178. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments
on the proposal. No comments were
received.
Domestic VOR Federal airways are
published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA
Order 7400.11A dated August 3, 2016,
and effective September 15, 2016, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The VOR Federal airways listed in
this document will be subsequently
published in the Order.

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 because the anticipated
impact is so minimal. Since this is a
routine matter that only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule does not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
This document amends FAA Order
7400.11A, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016,
and effective September 15, 2016. FAA
Order 7400.11A is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
This final rule amends Title 14, Code
of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
by modifying VOR Federal airways V–
16, V–94 and V–124, due to the planned
decommissioning of the Jacks Creek,
TN, VOR/DME. The route changes are
described below.
V–16: V–16 extends between Los
Angeles, CA, and Boston, MA. This
action amends that portion of the route
that reads ‘‘. . .Marvell, AR; Holly
Springs, MS; Jacks Creek, TN;
Shelbyville, TN. . ..’’ to read as follows:
‘‘. . .Marvell, AR; to Holly Springs, MS.
From Shelbyville, TN;. . ..’’ thus
eliminating Jacks Creek, TN, from the
route.
V–94: V–94 extends between Blythe,
CA and Bowling Green, KY. This action
terminates the route at Holly Springs,
MS, thus eliminating the segments of
the route from Holly Springs, MS,
through Jacks Creek, TN, to Bowling
Green, KY.
V–124: V–124 extends between
Bonham, TX and Graham, TN. This
action terminates the route at Gilmore,
AR, thus eliminating the segments from
Gilmore, AR, through Jacks Creek, TN,
to Graham, TN.
The FAA has determined that this
action of modifying VOR Federal
airways V–16, V–94 and V–124 in the
eastern United States due to the planned
decommissioning of the Jacks Creek,
TN, VOR/DME navigation aid qualifies
for categorical exclusion under the
National Environmental Policy Act and
its agency-specific implementing
regulations in FAA Order 1050.1F,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
26337
Procedures’’ regarding categorical
exclusions for procedural actions at
paragraph 5–6.5a, which categorically
excludes from full environmental
impact review rulemaking actions that
designate or modify classes of airspace
areas, airways, routes, and reporting
points. Therefore, this airspace action is
not expected to result in any significant
environmental impacts. In accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5–
2 regarding Extraordinary
Circumstances, this action has been
reviewed for factors and circumstances
in which a normally categorically
excluded action may have a significant
environmental impact requiring further
analysis, and it is determined that no
extraordinary circumstances exist that
warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority for This Rulemaking
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 modifies the air traffic service route structure in the
eastern United States to maintain the efficient flow of air traffic.
History
On December 1, 2016, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend VOR Federal airways V-16,
V-94 and V-124, due to the planned decommissioning of the Jacks Creek,
TN, VOR/DME (81 FR 86633) Docket No. 2016-9178. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal. No comments were received.
Domestic VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of
FAA Order 7400.11A dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The VOR
Federal airways listed in this document will be subsequently published
in the Order.
Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document amends FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.
The Rule
This final rule amends Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) part 71 by modifying VOR Federal airways V-16, V-94 and V-124, due
to the planned decommissioning of the Jacks Creek, TN, VOR/DME. The
route changes are described below.
V-16: V-16 extends between Los Angeles, CA, and Boston, MA. This
action amends that portion of the route that reads ``. . .Marvell, AR;
Holly Springs, MS; Jacks Creek, TN; Shelbyville, TN. . ..'' to read as
follows: ``. . .Marvell, AR; to Holly Springs, MS. From Shelbyville,

Regulatory Notices and Analyses
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 because the anticipated impact is so
minimal. Since this is a routine matter that only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule does not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this action of modifying VOR Federal
airways V-16, V-94 and V-124 in the eastern United States due to the
planned decommissioning of the Jacks Creek, TN, VOR/DME navigation aid
qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental
Policy Act and its agency-specific implementing regulations in FAA
Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures''
regarding categorical exclusions for procedural actions at paragraph 5-
6.5a, which categorically excludes from full environmental impact
review rulemaking actions that designate or modify classes of airspace
areas, airways, routes, and reporting points. Therefore, this airspace
action is not expected to result in any significant environmental
impacts. In accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding
Extraordinary Circumstances, this action has been reviewed for factors
and circumstances in which a normally categorically excluded action may
have a significant environmental impact requiring further analysis, and
it is determined that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant
preparation of an environmental assessment.
