FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.11C lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:27 Apr 05, 2019 Jkt 247001 areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points. The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend VOR Federal airways V–260 and V–290 to remove segments linked to the Rainelle, WV, VOR, which is planned to be decommissioned. The proposed route changes are described below. V–260: V–260 currently extends between the Charleston, WV, VOR/ DME, and the Cofield, NC, VORTAC. The proposed change would remove the segments between the Charleston, WV, VOR/DME, and the Roanoke, VA, VOR/ DME. The amended route would extend between the Roanoke, VA, VOR/DME and the Cofield, NC, VORTAC as currently charted. V–290: V–290 currently consists of two parts. The first part extends between the Rainelle, WV, VOR, and the Flat Rock, VA, VORTAC. Then there is a gap in the route followed by the second part that extends between the Tar River, NC, VORTAC, and the intersection of radials from the Tar River, NC, VORTAC and the New Bern, NC, VOR/DME (depicted on aeronautical charts as the PUNGO, NC, navigation fix). At the PUNGO fix, V– 290 joins existing area navigation route T–243. The proposed change would remove the portion of V–290 between the Rainelle, WV, VOR, and the Montebello, VA, VOR/DME. The amended route would therefore extend, in two parts, between the Montebello, VA, VOR/DME, and the Flat Rock, VA, VORTAC; and between the Tar River, NC, VORTAC, and the intersection of radials from the Tar River VORTAC and the New Bern VOR/DME, as currently charted. The full amended route descriptions are listed in the ‘‘The Proposed Amendment’’ section, below. Domestic VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15, 2018, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The RNAV routes listed in this document would be subsequently published in the Order. Regulatory Notices and Analyses 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. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 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. Environmental Review This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

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 would modify the VOR Federal airway structure in the 
eastern United States to maintain the efficient flow of air traffic.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace 
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective 
September 15, 2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed 
in the ADDRESSES section of this proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.11C 
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service 
routes, and reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend VOR Federal airways V-260 and V-
290 to remove segments linked to the Rainelle, WV, VOR, which is 
planned to be decommissioned. The proposed route changes are described 
below.
    V-260: V-260 currently extends between the Charleston, WV, VOR/DME, 
and the Cofield, NC, VORTAC. The proposed change would remove the 
segments between the Charleston, WV, VOR/DME, and the Roanoke, VA, VOR/
DME. The amended route would extend between the Roanoke, VA, VOR/DME 
and the Cofield, NC, VORTAC as currently charted.
    V-290: V-290 currently consists of two parts. The first part 
extends between the Rainelle, WV, VOR, and the Flat Rock, VA, VORTAC. 
Then there is a gap in the route followed by the second part that 
extends between the Tar River, NC, VORTAC, and the intersection of 
radials from the Tar River, NC, VORTAC and the New Bern, NC, VOR/DME 
(depicted on aeronautical charts as the PUNGO, NC, navigation fix). At 
the PUNGO fix, V-290 joins existing area navigation route T-243. The 
proposed change would remove the portion of V-290 between the Rainelle, 
WV, VOR, and the Montebello, VA, VOR/DME. The amended route would 
therefore extend, in two parts, between the Montebello, VA, VOR/DME, 
and the Flat Rock, VA, VORTAC; and between the Tar River, NC, VORTAC, 
and the intersection of radials from the Tar River VORTAC and the New 
Bern VOR/DME, as currently charted.
    The full amended route descriptions are listed in the ``The 
Proposed Amendment'' section, below.
    Domestic VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of 
FAA Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15, 
2018, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The RNAV 
routes listed in this document would be subsequently published in the 
Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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. 
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 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.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in 
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
