radial, and the Glens Falls, NY, VOR/
DME 032° radial.
This change is necessary because the
Glens Falls VOR/DME has been
decommissioned and is no longer in
service. As amended, the ENSON fix
would be defined by the intersection of
the Burlington, VT, 187° (T)/202° (M),
and the Cambridge, NY 002° radials.
This change would not affect navigation
along that portion of the route.
Additionally, the FAA proposes to
remove the segment of V–487 that
extends between the Burlington, VT,
VOR/DME, and the St Jean, Canada
VOR/DME due to the decommissioning
of the St Jean VOR/DME. As amended,
V–487 would extend between
LaGuardia, NY, and Burlington, VT.
Note: when new radials are specified
in a proposed airway route description,
both True and Magnetic degrees are
stated in the NPRM. Otherwise, only
True degrees are included in the
description.
Domestic VOR Federal airways are
published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA
Order 7400.11E, dated July, 21, 2020,

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The VOR Federal airway 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,

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
proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.11E
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 14 CFR part 71 to amend low altitude
RNAV route T–207 by removing the
Cecil, FL (VQQ), VOR from the route
description. This action is necessary
due to the planned decommissioning of
the Cecil VOR. T–207 currently extends
between the Ormond Beach, FL (OMN),
VORTAC, and the Waycross, GA (AYS),
VORTAC. The Cecil VOR is located
along a straight segment of the route
between the CARRA, FL, Fix, and the
MONIA, FL, Fix. The VOR is not a
required component for navigating on
T–207. Removal of the Cecil VOR would
not affect the alignment or navigation
along T–207.
In addition, all latitude/longitude
coordinates in the route description
would be updated to the hundredths of
a second place for greater navigation
accuracy.
United States Area Navigation routes
are published in paragraph 6011 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 RNAV 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

Transportation (DOT) Regulatory
Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034;

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

the Airspace Reclassification final rule,
which became effective in 1993, the
term ‘‘Terminal Control Area’’ was
replaced by ‘‘Class B airspace area.’’ (56

routes, and reporting points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to amend low
altitude RNAV route T-207 by removing the Cecil, FL (VQQ), VOR from the
route description. This action is necessary due to the planned
decommissioning of the Cecil VOR. T-207 currently extends between the
Ormond Beach, FL (OMN), VORTAC, and the Waycross, GA (AYS), VORTAC. The
Cecil VOR is located along a straight segment of the route between the
CARRA, FL, Fix, and the MONIA, FL, Fix. The VOR is not a required
component for navigating on T-207. Removal of the Cecil VOR would not
affect the alignment or navigation along T-207.
In addition, all latitude/longitude coordinates in the route
description would be updated to the hundredths of a second place for
greater navigation accuracy.
United States Area Navigation routes are published in paragraph
6011 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 RNAV 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.
