History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for
Docket No. FAA–2020–0944 in the
Federal Register (85 FR 70532;
November 5, 2020), amending VOR
Federal airways V–67, V–190, and V–
429; establishing RNAV route T–312;
and removing VOR Federal airways V–
125 and V–335 in the vicinity of
Marion, IL. The proposed amendment,
establishment, and revocation actions
were due to the planned
decommissioning of the VOR portion of
the Marion, IL, VOR/DME NAVAID.
Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the
proposal. No comments were received.
Subsequent to the NPRM, the FAA
published a NPRM correction for Docket
No. FAA–2020–0944 in the Federal
Register (85 FR 72612; November 13,
2020), correcting the airspace docket
number for this action that was
published in the NPRM. The correction
changed all of the airspace docket
number references from ‘‘20–AGL–26’’
to ‘‘20–ACE–26.’’ The correct airspace
docket number for this action is 20–
ACE–26 and is included in this rule.
VOR Federal airways are published in
paragraph 6010(a) and RNAV T-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 VOR Federal airways listed in
this document will be subsequently
published in the Order.
Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document amends 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.
The Rule
The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71
by modifying VOR Federal airways V–
67, V–190, and V–429; establishing
RNAV route T–312; and removing VOR
Federal airways V–125 and V–335. The
planned decommissioning of the VOR
portion of the Marion, IL, VOR/DME
NAVAID has made this action
necessary.
The VOR Federal airway changes are
outlined below.
V–67: V–67 extends between the Choo
Choo, TN, VOR/Tactical Air Navigation
E:\FR\FM\29MRR1.SGM
29MRR1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 58 / Monday, March 29, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
(VORTAC) and the Shelbyville, TN,
VOR/DME; and between the
Cunningham, KY, VOR/DME and the
Rochester, MN, VOR/DME. The airway
segment overlying the Marion, IL, VOR/
DME between the Cunningham, KY,
VOR/DME and the Centralia, IL,
VORTAC is removed due to the Marion
VOR being decommissioned.
Additionally, the airway segment
between the Centralia, IL, VORTAC and
the intersection of the Centralia, IL,
VORTAC 010° and Vandalia, IL, VOR/
DME 162° radials (CORKI fix) is also
removed due to V–313 overlaying the
same airway segment. The unaffected
portions of the existing airway remain
as charted.
V–125: V–125 extends between the
intersection of the Farmington, MO,
VORTAC 046° and Marion, IL, VOR/
DME 282° radials (NIKEL fix) and the St
Louis, MO, VORTAC. The airway is
removed in its entirety.
V–190: V–190 extends between the
Phoenix, AZ, VORTAC and the Pocket
City, IN, VORTAC. The airway segment
overlying the Marion, IL, VOR/DME
between the Farmington, MO, VORTAC
and the Pocket City, IN, VORTAC is
removed. The unaffected portions of the
existing airway remain as charted.
V–335: V–335 extends between the St
Louis, MO, VORTAC and the Marion,
IL, VOR/DME. The airway is removed in
its entirety.
V–429: V–429 extends between the
Marion, IL, VOR/DME and the Bible
Grove, IL, VORTAC; and between the
Champaign, IL, VORTAC and the Joliet,
IL, VOR/DME. The airway segment
overlying the Marion, IL, VOR/DME
between the Marion, IL, VOR/DME and
the Bible Grove, IL, VORTAC is
removed. The unaffected portions of the
existing airway remain as charted.
The new RNAV T-route is outlined
below.
T–312: T–312 is a new route that
extends between the Hill City, KS,
VORTAC and the Pocket City, IN,
VORTAC. This RNAV route mitigates
the loss of the V–190 airway segment
removed between the Farmington, MO,
VORTAC and the Pocket City, IN,
VORTAC as noted above and provides
RNAV routing capability from the Hill
City, KS, area eastward to the Pocket
City, IN, area.
All NAVAID radials in the VOR
Federal airway descriptions below are
unchanged and stated in True degrees.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on
September 15.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
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 will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this 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.
Airspace, Incorporation by reference,
Navigation (air).
Environmental Review
The FAA has determined that this
action of modifying VOR Federal
airways V–67, V–190, and V–429;
establishing RNAV route T–312; and
removing VOR Federal airways V–125
and V–335, due to the planned
decommissioning of the VOR portion of
the Marion, IL, VOR/DME NAVAID,
qualifies for categorical exclusion under
the National Environmental Policy Act
(42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) 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.
The Amendment
In consideration of the foregoing, the
Federal Aviation Administration
amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

VOR/DME
History
The FAA published a final rule in the
Federal Register for Docket No. FAA–
2019–0815 (85 FR 51329; August 20,
2020) removing Jet Route J–590,
amending VOR Federal airways V–11
and V–70, and establishing RNAV
routes T–362 and T–365. The air traffic
service (ATS) route actions were
accomplished due to the planned
decommissioning of the VOR portion of
the Greene County, MS, VORTAC. A
final rule, delay of effective date was
published in the Federal Register for
Docket No. FAA–2019–0815 (85 FR
64377; October 13, 2020) to delay the
effective date to coincide with the
anticipated completion of flight
inspection activities associated with
related VOR MON program instrument
procedure amendments that were
necessary to adopt the rule.
Unanticipated issues affecting the
completion of the related instrument
procedure amendments and the
associated flight inspection activities
required to adopt those amendments
have continued. As a result, the Greene
County, MS, VOR decommissioning has
been slipped to October 10, 2023.
FAA’s Conclusions
The FAA has reviewed the Greene
County, MS, VOR decommissioning
project and determined additional time
is required to complete the related
instrument procedure amendments and
associated flight inspection activities to
ensure an efficient implementation and
integration with other ongoing VOR
MON program activities. Therefore, the
final rule is being withdrawn.
The existing ATS routes (J–590, V–11,
and V–70) addressed in the final rule
remain unchanged and the new RNAV
T-routes (T–362 and T–365) are not
established.
The FAA will publish a new notice of
proposed rulemaking action at a later
date, using a new airspace docket

was published in the NPRM. The correction changed all of the airspace
docket number references from ``20-AGL-26'' to ``20-ACE-26.'' The
correct airspace docket number for this action is 20-ACE-26 and is
included in this rule.
VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) and RNAV T-
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 VOR Federal airways listed in this
document will be subsequently published in the Order.
Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document amends 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.
The Rule
The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71 by modifying VOR Federal airways
V-67, V-190, and V-429; establishing RNAV route T-312; and removing VOR
Federal airways V-125 and V-335. The planned decommissioning of the VOR
portion of the Marion, IL, VOR/DME NAVAID has made this action
necessary.
The VOR Federal airway changes are outlined below.
V-67: V-67 extends between the Choo Choo, TN, VOR/Tactical Air
Navigation
[[Page 16297]]
(VORTAC) and the Shelbyville, TN, VOR/DME; and between the Cunningham,
KY, VOR/DME and the Rochester, MN, VOR/DME. The airway segment
overlying the Marion, IL, VOR/DME between the Cunningham, KY, VOR/DME
and the Centralia, IL, VORTAC is removed due to the Marion VOR being
decommissioned. Additionally, the airway segment between the Centralia,
IL, VORTAC and the intersection of the Centralia, IL, VORTAC 010[deg]
and Vandalia, IL, VOR/DME 162[deg] radials (CORKI fix) is also removed
due to V-313 overlaying the same airway segment. The unaffected
portions of the existing airway remain as charted.
V-125: V-125 extends between the intersection of the Farmington,
MO, VORTAC 046[deg] and Marion, IL, VOR/DME 282[deg] radials (NIKEL
fix) and the St Louis, MO, VORTAC. The airway is removed in its
entirety.
V-190: V-190 extends between the Phoenix, AZ, VORTAC and the Pocket
City, IN, VORTAC. The airway segment overlying the Marion, IL, VOR/DME
between the Farmington, MO, VORTAC and the Pocket City, IN, VORTAC is
removed. The unaffected portions of the existing airway remain as
charted.
V-335: V-335 extends between the St Louis, MO, VORTAC and the
Marion, IL, VOR/DME. The airway is removed in its entirety.
V-429: V-429 extends between the Marion, IL, VOR/DME and the Bible
Grove, IL, VORTAC; and between the Champaign, IL, VORTAC and the
Joliet, IL, VOR/DME. The airway segment overlying the Marion, IL, VOR/
DME between the Marion, IL, VOR/DME and the Bible Grove, IL, VORTAC is
removed. The unaffected portions of the existing airway remain as
charted.
The new RNAV T-route is outlined below.
T-312: T-312 is a new route that extends between the Hill City, KS,
VORTAC and the Pocket City, IN, VORTAC. This RNAV route mitigates the
loss of the V-190 airway segment removed between the Farmington, MO,
VORTAC and the Pocket City, IN, VORTAC as noted above and provides RNAV
routing capability from the Hill City, KS, area eastward to the Pocket
City, IN, area.
All NAVAID radials in the VOR Federal airway descriptions below are
unchanged and stated in True degrees.
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 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 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
The FAA has determined that this action of modifying VOR Federal
airways V-67, V-190, and V-429; establishing RNAV route T-312; and
removing VOR Federal airways V-125 and V-335, due to the planned
decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Marion, IL, VOR/DME NAVAID,
qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental
Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) 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.
