for credit-back activities not covered by
specific and established criteria, the
Board shall grant the claim if it is
consistent with practices and rates for
similar activities.
(2) The clear and evident purpose of
each qualified activity shall be to
promote the sale, consumption or use of
California walnuts.
(3) No credit-back will be given for
any activity that targets the farming or
grower trade.
(4) Credit-back will not be allowed in
any case for travel expenses, or for any
promotional activities that result in
price discounting.
(5) Credit-back shall be granted for
those qualified activities specified
(e)(5)(i) through (iv) of this section:
(i) Credit-back shall be granted for
paid media directed to end-users, trade

receive any amount of credit-back, the
product must list the ownership or
distributorship on the package and
display the handler’s name and the
handler’s brand. The words ‘‘California
Walnuts’’ must be included on the
primary, face label. Such activities must
also meet the requirements of
paragraphs (e)(1) through (5) of this
section.
(iv) If the handler is engaged in
marketing promotion activities pursuant
to a contract with the Foreign
Agricultural Service (FAS), USDA, and/
or the California Department of Food

not be eligible for credit-back unless the
handler certifies that he or she was not
and will not be reimbursed by either
FAS or CDFA for the amount claimed
for credit-back, and has on record with
the Board all claims for reimbursement
made to FAS and/or the CDFA. Foreign
market expenses paid by third parties as
part of a handler’s contract with FAS or
CDFA shall not be eligible for creditback.
(6) Credit-back Reimbursement
claims. A handler must file claims with
the Board to obtain credit-back for
creditable expenditures, as follows:
(i) All claims submitted to the Board
for any qualified activity must include:
(A) A description of the activity and
when and where it was conducted;
(B) Copies of all invoices from
suppliers or agencies;

Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
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.
Background
The FAA is planning
decommissioning activities for the VOR
portion of the Park Rapids, MN, VOR/
DME; Sioux City, IA, VORTAC; and
Huron, SD, VORTAC in February, 2021.
The VOR portion of the Park Rapids,
MN; Sioux City, IA; and Huron, SD,
NAVAIDs are candidate VORs identified
for discontinuance by the FAA’s VOR
MON program and listed in the final
policy statement notice, ‘‘Provision of
Navigation Services for the Next
Generation Air Transportation System
(NextGen) Transition to PerformanceBased Navigation (PBN) (Plan for
Establishing a VOR Minimum
Operational Network),’’ published in the
Federal Register of July 26, 2016 (81 FR
48694), Docket No. FAA–2011–1082.
Although the VOR portion of the Park
Rapids, MN; Sioux City, IA; and Huron,
SD, NAVAIDs are planned for
decommissioning, the co-located DME
portion of the NAVAIDs are being
retained to support NextGen PBN flight
procedure requirements.
The ATS route dependencies to the
Park Rapids VOR/DME are VOR Federal
airways V–55, V–175, and RNAV route
T–354. Similarly, the ATS route
dependencies to the Sioux City
VORTAC are VOR Federal airways V–
15, V–100, V–159, V–175, V–219, and
V–307. Lastly, the ATS route
dependencies to the Huron VORTAC are
VOR Federal airways V–15, V–26, V–78,
V–159, and RNAV route T–285.
With the planned decommissioning of
the VOR portion of the Park City, MN;
Sioux City, IA; and Huron, SD,
NAVAIDs, the remaining ground-based
NAVAID coverage in the area is
insufficient to enable the continuity of
the affected VOR Federal airways. As
such, proposed modifications to the
affected airways would result in gaps in
those airways or the airways being
shortened. To overcome the airway gaps
or lost airway segments at the end of an
airway, instrument flight rules (IFR)
traffic could use adjacent ATS routes,
including V–24, V–80, V–120, V–129,
E:\FR\FM\05AUP1.SGM
05AUP1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 151 / Wednesday, August 5, 2020 / Proposed Rules
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
V–148, V–170, V–171, V–181, V–218,
V–263, V–398, V–410, V–430, T–330, T–
354, and T–383, or receive air traffic
control (ATC) radar vectors to fly
through or circumnavigate the affected
area. Additionally, IFR pilots equipped
with RNAV PBN capabilities could also
navigate point to point using the
existing fixes that will remain in place
to support continued operations though
the affected area. Visual flight rules
(VFR) pilots who elect to navigate via
the airways through the affected area
could also take advantage of the
adjacent VOR Federal airways or ATC
services listed previously.
Further, the FAA proposes to retain
RNAV routes T–285 and T–354 as they
are charted today, with a route segment
added to extend T–354 northwestward
between the BYZIN, ND, waypoint and
the Park Rapids, MN, VOR/DME facility
to join T–330 at the BYZIN waypoint.
The added route segment would provide
enroute structure between the Park
Rapids VOR/DME and the Grand Forks
VOR/DME, as well as support ongoing
FAA NextGen efforts to transition the
NAS to performance-based navigation.
Minor editorial amendments to the
existing T–285 and T–354 descriptions
would reflect the Park Rapids, MN
(PKD), and Huron, SD (HON), route
points as ‘‘DME’’ facilities due to the
VOR portion of the NAVAIDs being
decommissioned.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 by modifying VOR
Federal airways V–15, V–26, V–55, V–
78, V–100, V–159, V–175, V–219, and
V–307, and RNAV routes T–285 and T–
354. The planned decommissioning of
the VOR portion of the Park Rapids,
MN, VOR/DME; Sioux City, IA,
VORTAC; and Huron, SD, VORTAC
NAVAIDs has made this action
necessary. The proposed VOR Federal
airway changes are outlined below.
V–15: V–15 currently extends
between the Navasota, TX, VOR/DME
and the Bonham, TX, VORTAC;
between the Okmulgee, OK, VOR/DME
and the Neosho, MO, VOR/DME; and
between the Sioux City, IA, VORTAC
and the Minot, ND, VOR/DME. The
FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment overlying the Sioux City, IA,
and Huron, SD, VORTACs between the
Sioux City, IA, VORTAC and the
Aberdeen, SD, VOR/DME. The
unaffected portions of the existing
airway would remain as charted.
V–26: V–26 currently extends
between the Blue Mesa, CO, VOR/DME
and the White Cloud, MI, VOR/DME.
The FAA proposes to remove the airway
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
segment overlying the Huron, SD,
VORTAC between the Pierre, SD,
VORTAC and the Redwood Falls, MN,
VOR/DME. The unaffected portions of
the existing airway would remain as
charted.
V–55: V–55 currently extends
between the Dayton, OH, VOR/DME and
the intersection of the Green Bay, WI,
VORTAC 270° and Oshkosh, WI,
VORTAC 339° radials (BIPID fix); and
between the Park Rapids, MN, VOR/
DME and the Bismarck, ND, VOR/DME.
The FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment overlying the Park Rapids, MN,
VOR/DME between the Park Rapids,
MN, VOR/DME and the Grand Forks,
ND, VOR/DME. Additional changes to
other portions of the airway have been
proposed in a separate NPRM. The
unaffected portions of the existing
airway would remain as charted.
V–78: V–78 currently extends
between the Huron, SD, VORTAC and
the Escanaba, MI, VOR/DME; and
between the Pellston, MI, VORTAC and
the Saginaw, MI, VOR/DME. The FAA
proposes to remove the airway segment
overlying the Huron, SD, VORTAC
between the Huron, SD, VORTAC and
the Watertown, SD, VORTAC. The
unaffected portions of the existing
airway would remain as charted.
V–100: V–100 currently extends
between the Medicine Bow, WY, VOR/
DME and the Litchfield, MI, VOR/DME.
The FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment overlying the Sioux City, IA,
VORTAC between the O’Neill, NE,
VORTAC and the Fort Dodge, IA,
VORTAC. The unaffected portions of
the existing airway would remain as
charted.
V–159: V–159 currently extends
between the Virginia Key, FL, VOR/
DME and the Vulcan, AL, VORTAC; and
between the Holly Springs, MS,
VORTAC and the Huron, SD, VORTAC.
The FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment overlying the Sioux City, IA,
and Huron, SD, VORTACs between the
Omaha, IA, VORTAC and the Huron,
SD, VORTAC. The unaffected portions
of the existing airway would remain as
charted.
V–175: V–175 currently extends
between the Malden, MO, VORTAC and
the Winnipeg, MB, Canada, VORTAC.
The airspace within Canada is excluded.
The FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment overlying the Sioux City, IA,
VORTAC between the Des Moines, IA,
VORTAC and the Worthington, MN,
VOR/DME; and remove the airway
segment overlying the Park Rapids, MN,
VOR/DME between the Alexandria, MN,
VOR/DME and the Winnipeg, MB,
Canada, VORTAC. The exclusion

Canada would also be removed. The
unaffected portions of the existing
airway would remain as charted.
V–219: V–219 currently extends
between the Hayes Center, NE, VORTAC
and the Sioux City, IA, VORTAC. The
FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment overlying the Sioux City, IA,
VORTAC between the Norfolk, NE,
VOR/DME and the Sioux City, IA,
VORTAC. The unaffected portions of
the existing airway would remain as
charted.
V–307: V–307 currently extends
between the Harrison, AR, VOR/DME
and the Sioux City, IA, VORTAC. The
FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment overlying the Sioux City, IA,
VORTAC between the Omaha, IA,
VORTAC and the Sioux City, IA,
VORTAC. The unaffected portions of
the existing airway would remain as
charted.
The proposed RNAV route changes
are outlined below.
T–285: T–285 currently extends
between the North Platte, NE, VOR/
DME and the Huron, SD, VORTAC. The
FAA proposes to change the Huron, SD
(HON) route point from being listed as
‘‘VORTAC’’ to ‘‘DME’’. The existing
RNAV route would remain as charted.
T–354: T–354 currently extends
between the Park Rapids, MN, VOR/
DME and the Siren, WI, DME. The FAA
proposes to change the Park Rapids, MN
(PKD), route point from being listed as
‘‘VOR/DME’’ to ‘‘DME’’ and add a route
segment between the BYZIN, ND,
waypoint and the Park Rapids, MN,
DME facility. The added segment would
extend T–354 northwestward to join T–
330 at the BYZIN waypoint and provide
enroute structure between the Park
Rapids VOR/DME and the Grand Forks
VOR/DME that would be removed by
the proposed V–55 amendment above.
Additional changes to the route have
been proposed in a separate NPRM. The
existing RNAV route would remain as
charted with the addition of the route
segment proposed between the BYZIN,
ND, waypoint and the Park Rapids, MN,
DME.
All NAVAID radials listed in the VOR
Federal airway descriptions below are
unchanged and stated in True degrees.
VOR Federal airways are published in
paragraph 6010(a) and RNAV T-routes
are published in paragraph 6011 of FAA
Order 7400.11D dated August 8, 2019,
and effective September 15, 2019, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The ATS routes listed in this
document would be subsequently

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 and
Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.
The Proposed Amendment
In consideration of the foregoing, the
Federal Aviation Administration
proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document proposes to amend 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.
Background
The FAA is planning decommissioning activities for the VOR portion
of the Park Rapids, MN, VOR/DME; Sioux City, IA, VORTAC; and Huron, SD,
VORTAC in February, 2021. The VOR portion of the Park Rapids, MN; Sioux
City, IA; and Huron, SD, NAVAIDs are candidate VORs identified for
discontinuance by the FAA's VOR MON program and listed in the final
policy statement notice, ``Provision of Navigation Services for the
Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) Transition to
Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) (Plan for Establishing a VOR Minimum
Operational Network),'' published in the Federal Register of July 26,
2016 (81 FR 48694), Docket No. FAA-2011-1082.
Although the VOR portion of the Park Rapids, MN; Sioux City, IA;
and Huron, SD, NAVAIDs are planned for decommissioning, the co-located
DME portion of the NAVAIDs are being retained to support NextGen PBN
flight procedure requirements.
The ATS route dependencies to the Park Rapids VOR/DME are VOR
Federal airways V-55, V-175, and RNAV route T-354. Similarly, the ATS
route dependencies to the Sioux City VORTAC are VOR Federal airways V-
15, V-100, V-159, V-175, V-219, and V-307. Lastly, the ATS route
dependencies to the Huron VORTAC are VOR Federal airways V-15, V-26, V-
78, V-159, and RNAV route T-285.
With the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Park
City, MN; Sioux City, IA; and Huron, SD, NAVAIDs, the remaining ground-
based NAVAID coverage in the area is insufficient to enable the
continuity of the affected VOR Federal airways. As such, proposed
modifications to the affected airways would result in gaps in those
airways or the airways being shortened. To overcome the airway gaps or
lost airway segments at the end of an airway, instrument flight rules
(IFR) traffic could use adjacent ATS routes, including V-24, V-80, V-
120, V-129,
[[Page 47319]]
V-148, V-170, V-171, V-181, V-218, V-263, V-398, V-410, V-430, T-330,
T-354, and T-383, or receive air traffic control (ATC) radar vectors to
fly through or circumnavigate the affected area. Additionally, IFR
pilots equipped with RNAV PBN capabilities could also navigate point to
point using the existing fixes that will remain in place to support
continued operations though the affected area. Visual flight rules
(VFR) pilots who elect to navigate via the airways through the affected
area could also take advantage of the adjacent VOR Federal airways or
ATC services listed previously.
Further, the FAA proposes to retain RNAV routes T-285 and T-354 as
they are charted today, with a route segment added to extend T-354
northwestward between the BYZIN, ND, waypoint and the Park Rapids, MN,
VOR/DME facility to join T-330 at the BYZIN waypoint. The added route
segment would provide enroute structure between the Park Rapids VOR/DME
and the Grand Forks VOR/DME, as well as support ongoing FAA NextGen
efforts to transition the NAS to performance-based navigation. Minor
editorial amendments to the existing T-285 and T-354 descriptions would
reflect the Park Rapids, MN (PKD), and Huron, SD (HON), route points as
``DME'' facilities due to the VOR portion of the NAVAIDs being
decommissioned.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by modifying VOR Federal airways V-15, V-
26, V-55, V-78, V-100, V-159, V-175, V-219, and V-307, and RNAV routes
T-285 and T-354. The planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the
Park Rapids, MN, VOR/DME; Sioux City, IA, VORTAC; and Huron, SD, VORTAC
NAVAIDs has made this action necessary. The proposed VOR Federal airway
changes are outlined below.
V-15: V-15 currently extends between the Navasota, TX, VOR/DME and
the Bonham, TX, VORTAC; between the Okmulgee, OK, VOR/DME and the
Neosho, MO, VOR/DME; and between the Sioux City, IA, VORTAC and the
Minot, ND, VOR/DME. The FAA proposes to remove the airway segment
overlying the Sioux City, IA, and Huron, SD, VORTACs between the Sioux
City, IA, VORTAC and the Aberdeen, SD, VOR/DME. The unaffected portions
of the existing airway would remain as charted.
V-26: V-26 currently extends between the Blue Mesa, CO, VOR/DME and
the White Cloud, MI, VOR/DME. The FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment overlying the Huron, SD, VORTAC between the Pierre, SD, VORTAC
and the Redwood Falls, MN, VOR/DME. The unaffected portions of the
existing airway would remain as charted.
V-55: V-55 currently extends between the Dayton, OH, VOR/DME and
the intersection of the Green Bay, WI, VORTAC 270[deg] and Oshkosh, WI,
VORTAC 339[deg] radials (BIPID fix); and between the Park Rapids, MN,
VOR/DME and the Bismarck, ND, VOR/DME. The FAA proposes to remove the
airway segment overlying the Park Rapids, MN, VOR/DME between the Park
Rapids, MN, VOR/DME and the Grand Forks, ND, VOR/DME. Additional
changes to other portions of the airway have been proposed in a
separate NPRM. The unaffected portions of the existing airway would
remain as charted.
V-78: V-78 currently extends between the Huron, SD, VORTAC and the
Escanaba, MI, VOR/DME; and between the Pellston, MI, VORTAC and the
Saginaw, MI, VOR/DME. The FAA proposes to remove the airway segment
overlying the Huron, SD, VORTAC between the Huron, SD, VORTAC and the
Watertown, SD, VORTAC. The unaffected portions of the existing airway
would remain as charted.
V-100: V-100 currently extends between the Medicine Bow, WY, VOR/
DME and the Litchfield, MI, VOR/DME. The FAA proposes to remove the
airway segment overlying the Sioux City, IA, VORTAC between the
O'Neill, NE, VORTAC and the Fort Dodge, IA, VORTAC. The unaffected
portions of the existing airway would remain as charted.
V-159: V-159 currently extends between the Virginia Key, FL, VOR/
DME and the Vulcan, AL, VORTAC; and between the Holly Springs, MS,
VORTAC and the Huron, SD, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment overlying the Sioux City, IA, and Huron, SD, VORTACs between
the Omaha, IA, VORTAC and the Huron, SD, VORTAC. The unaffected
portions of the existing airway would remain as charted.
V-175: V-175 currently extends between the Malden, MO, VORTAC and
the Winnipeg, MB, Canada, VORTAC. The airspace within Canada is
excluded. The FAA proposes to remove the airway segment overlying the
Sioux City, IA, VORTAC between the Des Moines, IA, VORTAC and the
Worthington, MN, VOR/DME; and remove the airway segment overlying the
Park Rapids, MN, VOR/DME between the Alexandria, MN, VOR/DME and the
Winnipeg, MB, Canada, VORTAC. The exclusion statement for the airspace
within Canada would also be removed. The unaffected portions of the
existing airway would remain as charted.
V-219: V-219 currently extends between the Hayes Center, NE, VORTAC
and the Sioux City, IA, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment overlying the Sioux City, IA, VORTAC between the Norfolk, NE,
VOR/DME and the Sioux City, IA, VORTAC. The unaffected portions of the
existing airway would remain as charted.
V-307: V-307 currently extends between the Harrison, AR, VOR/DME
and the Sioux City, IA, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment overlying the Sioux City, IA, VORTAC between the Omaha, IA,
VORTAC and the Sioux City, IA, VORTAC. The unaffected portions of the
existing airway would remain as charted.
The proposed RNAV route changes are outlined below.
T-285: T-285 currently extends between the North Platte, NE, VOR/
DME and the Huron, SD, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to change the Huron, SD
(HON) route point from being listed as ``VORTAC'' to ``DME''. The
existing RNAV route would remain as charted.
T-354: T-354 currently extends between the Park Rapids, MN, VOR/DME
and the Siren, WI, DME. The FAA proposes to change the Park Rapids, MN
(PKD), route point from being listed as ``VOR/DME'' to ``DME'' and add
a route segment between the BYZIN, ND, waypoint and the Park Rapids,
MN, DME facility. The added segment would extend T-354 northwestward to
join T-330 at the BYZIN waypoint and provide enroute structure between
the Park Rapids VOR/DME and the Grand Forks VOR/DME that would be
removed by the proposed V-55 amendment above. Additional changes to the
route have been proposed in a separate NPRM. The existing RNAV route
would remain as charted with the addition of the route segment proposed
between the BYZIN, ND, waypoint and the Park Rapids, MN, DME.
All NAVAID radials listed in the VOR Federal airway descriptions
below are unchanged and stated in True degrees.
VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) and RNAV T-
routes are published in paragraph 6011 of FAA Order 7400.11D dated
August 8, 2019, and effective September 15, 2019, which is incorporated
by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The ATS routes listed in this document
would be subsequently published in the Order.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
[[Page 47320]]
published yearly and effective on September 15.
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
