D. Questions About Book-Entry
Registration
1. Currently, Pool Certificates are
registered in physical certificate form.
Would there be a benefit to the new
pool security being registered in bookentry form? If so, what would those
benefits be?
2. What additional process or
technology changes would be needed to
support a book-entry security?
3. What effect would book-entry
registration have on the pricing of the
proposed pool security?
E. New SBA Secondary Market 7(a)
Loan Pool Security General Comments
SBA is seeking comments and
recommendations on changes to the
current pool security for the 7(a) loan
program to better align underlying loan
collateral and pool cash flows and to
sustain the long-term viability of the
7(a) loan pooling program. SBA also
requests comments on the proposed
cash flow alignment, the timely
payment of scheduled interest and
actual principal, loan-level disclosures,
and book-entry registration.
We value your comments and ask that
you provide a rationale for any
suggested changes or recommendations.

Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated July 21, 2020, and effective
September 15, 2020. FAA Order
7400.11E is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.
Background
NAV CANADA, which operates
Canada’s civil air navigation service, is
continuing to implement various
changes to Canada’s instrument flight
rules (IFR) navigation infrastructure as
part of their NAVAID Modernization
Program to enhance the efficiency of
operations by taking advantage of
performance based navigation and
modern avionic capabilities. The
changes being implemented by NAV
CANADA occasionally affect parts of
U.S. VOR Federal airways that extend
across the U.S./Canada border into
Canadian airspace. As a result, the
removal of V–242 would mirror changes
that are planned to be made by NAV
CANADA on the Canadian side of the
border.
NAV CANADA is planning the
decommissioning of the Atikokan, ON,
Canada, NDB as part of their NAVAID
Modernization Program. With the
planned decommissioning of the
Atikokan NDB, the ground-based
NAVAID coverage in the area is
insufficient to enable the continuity of
V–242. As a result, V–242 would no
longer be supportable and would be
removed in its entirety.
To overcome the loss of the airway,
instrument flight rules (IFR) traffic
could use adjacent ATS routes,
including VOR Federal airways V–133,
V–300, and V–367, or request air traffic
control (ATC) radar vectors to fly
through or circumnavigate the affected
area. The International Falls, MN, VHF
Omni-directional Range/Distance
Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME)
NAVAID, which is currently the first
airway point on V–242, will also remain
in service and continue providing
positive course guidance and distance
measuring service to aircraft within 40
nautical miles of the NAVAID.
Additionally, IFR pilots equipped with
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:43 Dec 22, 2020
Jkt 253001
RNAV PBN capabilities would also be
able to 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.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 to remove VOR Federal
airway V–242. The planned
decommissioning of the Atikokan, ON,
Canada, NDB has made this action
necessary. The proposed change is
outlined below.
V–242: V–242 currently extends
between the International Falls, MN,
VOR/DME and the Atikokan, ON,
Canada, NDB, excluding that airspace
within Canada. The FAA proposes to
remove the airway in its entirety.
VOR Federal airways are published in
paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order
7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and
effective September 15, 2020, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The ATS route listed in this
document would be subsequently
published in the Order.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
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 and
PO 00000

Background
NAV CANADA, which operates Canada's civil air navigation service,
is continuing to implement various changes to Canada's instrument

Modernization Program to enhance the efficiency of operations by taking
advantage of performance based navigation and modern avionic

affect parts of U.S. VOR Federal airways that extend across the U.S./
Canada border into Canadian airspace. As a result, the removal of V-242
would mirror changes that are planned to be made by NAV CANADA on the

NAV CANADA is planning the decommissioning of the Atikokan, ON,
Canada, NDB as part of their NAVAID Modernization Program. With the
planned decommissioning of the Atikokan NDB, the ground-based NAVAID
coverage in the area is insufficient to enable the continuity of V-242.
As a result, V-242 would no longer be supportable and would be removed

To overcome the loss of the airway, instrument flight rules (IFR)
traffic could use adjacent ATS routes, including VOR Federal airways V-
133, V-300, and V-367, or request air traffic control (ATC) radar
vectors to fly through or circumnavigate the affected area. The
International Falls, MN, VHF Omni-directional Range/Distance Measuring
Equipment (VOR/DME) NAVAID, which is currently the first airway point

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.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to remove VOR Federal airway V-242. The
planned decommissioning of the Atikokan, ON, Canada, NDB has made this
action necessary. The proposed change is outlined below.
V-242: V-242 currently extends between the International Falls, MN,
VOR/DME and the Atikokan, ON, Canada, NDB, excluding that airspace
within Canada. The FAA proposes to remove the airway in its entirety.
VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order
7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15, 2020, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The ATS route listed in
this document would be subsequently published in the Order.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
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
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
