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 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
action of amending VOR Federal
airways V–91, V–123, V–431, V–489,
and V–496 near Glens Falls, NY,
qualifies for categorical exclusion under
the National Environmental Policy Act
and its implementing regulations at 40
CFR part 1500, 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). As such, this action
is not expected to result in any
potentially significant environmental
impacts. 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 that no extraordinary
circumstances exist that warrant
preparation of an environmental
assessment or environmental impact
study.

Amendment of VOR Federal Airway V–
37 Due to the Planned
Decommissioning of Aylmer, Canada,
VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR)
Navigation Aid
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Final rule.
This action amends VHF
Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal
airway V–37 in the northeast United
States to reflect changes made by NAV
CANADA in Canadian airspace. The
modification to V–37 is necessary due to
the decommissioning of the Aylmer,
Canada, VOR navigation aid (NAVAID),
which provided navigation guidance for
portions of V–37. The Aylmer VOR was
decommissioned March 23, 2020, as
part of NAV CANADA’s NAVAID
Modernization Program.
SUMMARY:
Effective date 0901 UTC,
September 10, 2020. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this
incorporation by reference action under
Title 1 Code of Federal Regulations part
51, subject to the annual revision of
FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of
conforming amendments.

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.

The Rule
The FAA is amending Title 14 Code
of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71
by modifying VOR Federal airway V–37
due to the decommissioning of the
Aylmer, Canada, VOR by NAV
CANADA. The VOR Federal airway
change is outlined below.
V–37: V–37 extends between the
Craig, FL, VORTAC and the Toronto,
ON, Canada, VOR/DME, excluding the
airspace within Canada. The airway
segments between the Erie, PA,
VORTAC and the Toronto, ON, Canada,
VOR/DME, and the language excluding
the airspace within Canada are
removed. The unaffected portions of the
existing airway remain as charted.
All radials in the VOR Federal airway
description below are unchanged and
stated in True degrees.

Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this
airspace action of modifying VOR
Federal airway V–37, due to the
decommissioning of the Aylmer,
Canada, VOR, 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.

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 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 modifying VOR
Federal airway V-37, due to the decommissioning of the Aylmer, Canada,
VOR, 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.
