Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 143 / Thursday, July 29, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
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 supports
modifying, removing, and establishing
the air traffic service route structure in
Alaska to maintain the efficient flow of
air traffic.
History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA–2020–0544 in the Federal Register
(85 FR 37033; June 19, 2020), removing
VOR Federal airway V–482 in the state
of Alaska. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments
on the proposal. No comments were
received.
Alaskan VOR Federal airways are
published in paragraph 6010(b) 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 Alaskan VOR Federal airway
listed in this document will be
subsequently removed from this 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
This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by
removing Alaskan VOR Federal airway
V–482.
V–482: V–482 currently extends
between Johnstone Point, AK to
Gulkana, AK. This action removes the
entire route.
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
action of revoking VOR Federal airway
V–482 in Alaska 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, with
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 cause 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.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.
AGENCY:
This action corrects a final
rule published by the FAA in the
Federal Register on July 15, 2021. This
action amends Federal airways, A–15,
V–444, J–502, and J–511 in Alaska. It
also establishes an extension of two
Canadian Area Navigation Q routes,
Q–811, and Q–902. The modifications
are necessary due to the
decommissioning of the Burwash NonDirectional Beacon (NDB) in Yukon
Territory, Canada, which provides
navigation guidance for portions of the
affected routes. The Burwash NDB was
decommissioned effective March 26,
2020 due to ongoing maintenance
problems and logistic issues.

History
The FAA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA–2020–0567 in the Federal Register
(85 FR 38799; June 29, 2020), a
supplemental NPRM (85 FR 60108;
September 24, 2020) and a final rule (86
FR 37235; July 15, 2021), amending
Federal airways V–15, V–444, jet routes
J–502, and J–511, and establishing an
extension of two Canadian Area
Navigation Q routes, Q–811, and Q–902.
The modifications are necessary due to
the decommissioning of the Burwash
Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) in Yukon
Territory, Canada, which provides
navigation guidance for portions of the
affected routes. Subsequent to the
publication, it was determined that
exclusionary language, ‘‘excluding the
airspace within Canada’’ was included
in The Rule section, but was not
included in the legal descriptions for
Q–902, and Q–811. This rule corrects
that error by including ‘‘excluding the
airspace within Canada’’ below the line
containing IGSOM, CA in the Q–811
legal description and below the line
containing KOTZEBUE, AK (OTZ) in
the Q–902 legal description. This is an
editorial change only and does not alter
the alignment of the route as shown on
aeronautical charts, and does not affect
the use of the route by aircraft.
