khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
III. Direct Final Rule
We are eliminating the requirements
for paper copy submissions in
§ 655.10(c), § 655.15(a), and § 655.21(a),
and clarifying that submissions required
under § 655.21(b) should be done
electronically, by a direct final
rulemaking. The Administrative
Conference of the United States
recommends direct final rulemaking for
Federal agencies to enact
noncontroversial regulations on an
expedited basis, without the usual
notice and comment period.3 This
process enables us to reduce the time
and resources we need to develop,
review, and publish a final rule while
still affording the public an adequate
opportunity to comment or object to the
rule.
In a direct final rulemaking, we notify
the public that the rule will become
final on a specified date unless we
receive a significant adverse comment
during the comment period. A
significant adverse comment is one
where the commenter explains why the
rule would be inappropriate (including
challenges to its underlying premise or
approach), ineffective, or unacceptable
without a change. In general, a
significant adverse comment would
raise an issue serious enough to warrant
a substantive response from the FCA in
a notice-and-comment proceeding.
We believe that a direct final
rulemaking is the appropriate method
for amending § 655.10(c), § 655.15(a),
and § 655.21(a) and (b) because the
changes are administrative in nature
and do not substantively alter the rights
or responsibilities of any party. We do
not anticipate there will be significant
adverse comments. If, however, we
receive a significant adverse comment
during the comment period, we will
publish a notice of withdrawal of the
relevant provisions of this rule that will
also indicate how further rulemaking
will proceed. If we receive no
significant adverse comments, we will
publish notice of the effective date of
the rule following the required
congressional waiting period under
section 5.17(c)(1) of the Act.
IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act Analysis
and Major Rule Conclusion
Pursuant to section 605(b) of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.), FCA hereby certifies the final
3 Recommendation 95–4, referencing the
Administrative Procedure Act ‘‘good cause’’
exemption at 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), adopted June 15,
1995.

rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. The
Corporation has assets and annual
income over the amounts that would
qualify it as a small entity. Therefore,
the Corporation is not considered a
‘‘small entity’’ as defined in the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Under the provisions of the
Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801
et seq.), the Office of Management and
Budget’s Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has determined that
this direct final rule is not a ‘‘major
rule,’’ as the term is defined at 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
List of Subjects in 12 CFR Part 655
Accounting; Agriculture; Banks,
banking; Conflicts of interest; Reporting
and recordkeeping requirements; Rural

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 would
modify the route structure as necessary
to preserve the safe and efficient flow of
air traffic within the National Airspace
System.

History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA–2020–0868 in the Federal Register
(85 FR 64998; October 14, 2020)
removing colored Federal airway, R–50,
and amending Alaskan VHF
Omnidirectional Radar (VOR) Federal
airway, V–319, and United States Area
Navigation (RNAV) routes T–219 and T–
269 in Alaska. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments
on the proposal. No comments were
received.
Colored and Alaskan VOR Federal
airways are published in paragraph
6009 and 6010(b), and United States
Area Navigation Routes are published in
paragraph 2006 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 Colored and Alaskan VOR
Federal airways, and United States Area
Navigation routes listed in this
document will be subsequently
published in the Order.
Differences From the NPRM
In the NPRM published in the Federal
Register (85 FR 64998; October 14,
2020) proposal section, describing
T–269, there is a typographical error.
The way point CENTA is spelled
incorrectly as CENTRA. This rule
corrects that error in the Rule section.
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.
The Rule
This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by
removing Colored Federal airway R–50,
modifying Alaskan VOR Federal airway
V–319, and United States Area
Navigation routes T–219 and T–269.
The Airway actions are described
below.
R–50: R–50 currently extends between
the Nanwak, AK, NDB and the Anvik,
AK, NDB. This action removes the
entire route.
V–319: V–319 currently extends
between the Yakutat, AK and the
Nanwak, AK, NDB. This action removes
the segment from the Hooper Bay, AK,
PO 00000

VOR/DME to the Nanwak, AK, NDB.
The unaffected portions of the existing
route remain as charted.
T–219: T–219 currently extends
between the Nanwak, AK, NDB and the
Dillingham, AK, VOR/DME. This action
extends the airway from the MKLUK,
AK, WP to the Hooper Bay, AK, VOR/
DME. Additionally, the FAA is
correcting the legal description, to
include the NACIP, AK, WP and the
ACATE, AK WP. Finally, this action
corrects the legal description so that it
denotes south to north track as it states
in the FAA JO 7400.2M paragraph 20–
1–5e2.
T–269: T–269 currently extends
between the Annette Island, AK, VOR/
DME and the Bethel, AK, VORTAC.
This action extends the airway from the
Bethel, AK, VORTAC to the MKLUK,
AK, WP. Additionally, the FAA is
incorporating eight additional
waypoints and fixes that were not
included in the legal description. These
reporting points include TURTY, AK,
WP; FLIPS, AK, FIX; HAPIT, AK, FIX;
CENTA, AK, WP; KATAT, AK, WP;
YONEK, AK, WP; VEILL, AK, WP, and
VIDDA, AK, WP that contain a turn and
are required to be included in the legal
description as per the FAA JO 7400.2M
paragraph 20–1–5h2.
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 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 removing Colored
Federal airway R–50, and modifying
Alaskan VOR Federal airway V–319,
and United States Area Navigation
routes T–219 and T–269 qualifies for
E:\FR\FM\24MYR1.SGM

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.

Points, dated July 21, 2020 and effective
September 15, 2020, is amended as

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 would modify the route structure as necessary to
preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the National
Airspace System.
History
The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA-2020-0868 in the Federal Register (85 FR 64998; October 14, 2020)
removing colored Federal airway, R-50, and amending Alaskan VHF
Omnidirectional Radar (VOR) Federal airway, V-319, and United States
Area Navigation (RNAV) routes T-219 and T-269 in Alaska. Interested
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were received.
Colored and Alaskan VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph
6009 and 6010(b), and United States Area Navigation Routes are
published in paragraph 2006 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 Colored and Alaskan VOR Federal airways, and United
States Area Navigation routes listed in this document will be
subsequently published in the Order.
Differences From the NPRM
In the NPRM published in the Federal Register (85 FR 64998; October
14, 2020) proposal section, describing T-269, there is a typographical
error. The way point CENTA is spelled incorrectly as CENTRA. This rule
corrects that error in the Rule section.
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.
The Rule
This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by removing Colored Federal
airway R-50, modifying Alaskan VOR Federal airway V-319, and United
States Area Navigation routes T-219 and T-269. The Airway actions are
described below.
R-50: R-50 currently extends between the Nanwak, AK, NDB and the
Anvik, AK, NDB. This action removes the entire route.
V-319: V-319 currently extends between the Yakutat, AK and the
Nanwak, AK, NDB. This action removes the segment from the Hooper Bay,
AK, VOR/DME to the Nanwak, AK, NDB. The unaffected portions of the
existing route remain as charted.
T-219: T-219 currently extends between the Nanwak, AK, NDB and the
Dillingham, AK, VOR/DME. This action extends the airway from the MKLUK,
AK, WP to the Hooper Bay, AK, VOR/DME. Additionally, the FAA is
correcting the legal description, to include the NACIP, AK, WP and the
ACATE, AK WP. Finally, this action corrects the legal description so
that it denotes south to north track as it states in the FAA JO 7400.2M
paragraph 20-1-5e2.
T-269: T-269 currently extends between the Annette Island, AK, VOR/
DME and the Bethel, AK, VORTAC. This action extends the airway from the
Bethel, AK, VORTAC to the MKLUK, AK, WP. Additionally, the FAA is
incorporating eight additional waypoints and fixes that were not
included in the legal description. These reporting points include
TURTY, AK, WP; FLIPS, AK, FIX; HAPIT, AK, FIX; CENTA, AK, WP; KATAT,
AK, WP; YONEK, AK, WP; VEILL, AK, WP, and VIDDA, AK, WP that contain a
turn and are required to be included in the legal description as per
the FAA JO 7400.2M paragraph 20-1-5h2.
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 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 removing
Colored Federal airway R-50, and modifying Alaskan VOR Federal airway
V-319, and United States Area Navigation routes T-219 and T-269
qualifies for
[[Page 27800]]
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.
