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
National Airspace System as necessary
to preserve the safe and efficient flow of
air traffic.

History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA–2019–0688 in the Federal Register
(84 FR 52049; October 1, 2019),
amending VOR Federal airways V–11
and V–275 due to the planned
decommissioning of the VOR portion of
the Waterville, OH, VOR/DME NAVAID.
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal. No comments were received.
VOR Federal airways are published in
paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order
7400.11D dated August 8, 2019, and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

effective September 15, 2019, 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.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on
September 15.
Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document amends FAA Order
7400.11D, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 8, 2019,
and effective September 15, 2019. FAA
Order 7400.11D is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11D lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.
The Rule
The FAA is amending Title 14 Code
of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
by modifying VOR Federal airways V–
11 and V–275. The planned
decommissioning of the Waterville, OH,
VOR has made this action necessary.
The VOR Federal airway changes are
outlined below.
V–11: V–11 extends between the
Brookley, AL, VORTAC and the
intersection of the Fort Wayne, IN,
VORTAC 038° and Waterville, OH,
VOR/DME 273° radials (EDGEE fix). The
EDGEE fix in the airway description is
amended to describe it as the
intersection of the existing Fort Wayne
VORTAC 038° radial and the Flag City,
OH, VORTAC 308° radial. The
unaffected portions of the existing
airway remain as charted.
V–275: V–275 extends between the
Cincinnati, KY, VORTAC and the
intersection of the Dayton, OH, VOR/
DME 007° and the Waterville, OH, VOR/
DME 246° radials (KLOEE fix). The
KLOEE fix in the airway description is
amended to describe it as the
intersection of the existing Dayton, OH,
VOR/DME 007° radial and the Flag City,
OH, VORTAC 313° radial. Additionally,
an editorial correction changes the state
abbreviation for the Cincinnati VORTAC
listed in the description from ‘‘OH’’ to
‘‘KY’’. The unaffected portions of the
existing airway remain as charted.
All radials in the route descriptions
are stated in True degrees.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 only affects air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when
promulgated, 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
airspace action of amending the EDGEE
fix and KLOEE fix NAVAID radial
computations in VOR Federal airways
V–61 and V–275, respectively, has no
potential to cause any significant
environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that
warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment. Therefore,
this airspace action has been
categorically excluded from further
environmental impact review in
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and
its implementing regulations at 40 CFR
parts 1500–1508, and in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F,
Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures, paragraph 5–6.5a, which
categorically excludes from further
environmental impact review
rulemaking actions that designate or
modify classes of airspace areas,
airways, routes, and reporting points
(see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of
Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas;
Air Traffic Service Routes; and
Reporting Points). In accordance with
FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5–2
regarding Extraordinary Circumstances,
the FAA has reviewed this action for
factors and circumstances in which a
normally categorically excluded action
may have a significant environmental
impact requiring further analysis. The
FAA has determined no extraordinary
circumstances exist that warrant
preparation of an environmental
assessment or environmental impact
study.

2019. FAA Order 7400.11D is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11D lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.
The Rule
The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by modifying VOR Federal airways V-11 and V-275. The planned
decommissioning of the Waterville, OH, VOR has made this action
necessary. The VOR Federal airway changes are outlined below.
V-11: V-11 extends between the Brookley, AL, VORTAC and the
intersection of the Fort Wayne, IN, VORTAC 038[deg] and Waterville, OH,
VOR/DME 273[deg] radials (EDGEE fix). The EDGEE fix in the airway
description is amended to describe it as the intersection of the
existing Fort Wayne VORTAC 038[deg] radial and the Flag City, OH,
VORTAC 308[deg] radial. The unaffected portions of the existing airway
remain as charted.
V-275: V-275 extends between the Cincinnati, KY, VORTAC and the
intersection of the Dayton, OH, VOR/DME 007[deg] and the Waterville,
OH, VOR/DME 246[deg] radials (KLOEE fix). The KLOEE fix in the airway
description is amended to describe it as the intersection of the
existing Dayton, OH, VOR/DME 007[deg] radial and the Flag City, OH,
VORTAC 313[deg] radial. Additionally, an editorial correction changes
the state abbreviation for the Cincinnati VORTAC listed in the
description from ``OH'' to ``KY''. The unaffected portions of the
existing airway remain as charted.
All radials in the route descriptions are stated in True degrees.
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 only affects air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated,
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 airspace action of amending the
EDGEE fix and KLOEE fix NAVAID radial computations in VOR Federal
airways V-61 and V-275, respectively, has no potential to cause any
significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances
exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.
Therefore, this airspace action has been categorically excluded from
further environmental impact review in accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and its implementing regulations at 40
CFR parts 1500-1508, and in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F,
Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5-6.5a, which
categorically excludes from further environmental impact review
rulemaking actions that designate or modify classes of airspace areas,
airways, routes, and reporting points (see 14 CFR part 71, Designation
of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes;
and Reporting Points). In accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph
5-2 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed this
action for factors and circumstances in which a normally categorically
excluded action may have a significant environmental impact requiring
further analysis. The FAA has determined no extraordinary circumstances
exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment or
environmental impact study.
