Proposed Revocation of Colored Federal Airway Blue 5 (B-5); Point Hope, AK, 10995-10997 [2022-04067]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 39 / Monday, February 28, 2022 / Proposed Rules The Proposal The FAA proposes an amendment to Title 14 CFR part 71 to amend Class D airspace and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Gulf Shores International Airport/ Jack Edwards Field (formerly Jack Edwards National Airport), Gulf Shores, AL, by updating the airport name, and amending the descriptions, by adding ‘‘when active’’ in reference to Restricted Area R–2908. Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraphs 5000 and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September 15, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and E airspace designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11. FAA Order JO 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 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. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS 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.

The loss of the airway would have little impact on the flying public and the FAA has plans to replace this route with a United States Area Navigation Route in the near future.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace 
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective 
September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as 
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F 
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service 
routes, and reporting points.

Background

    The North Slope Borough, AK has requested that the FAA decommission 
the Point Hope, AK, (PHO) NDB due to the high cost of continuous 
maintenance and repairs. The FAA conducted a non-rulemaking study in 
2021 in accordance with FAA Order JO 7400.2, Procedures for Handling 
Airspace Matters. As a result of the study, the FAA did not receive any 
objections to the removal of the NDB along with the supported airway. 
PHO has been scheduled for decommissioning, effective February 23, 
2023.
    Colored Federal airway B-5 is dependent upon PHO and navigates 
between the Cape Lisburne, AK, (LUR) NDB and PHO. The decommissioning 
of PHO would result in B-5 being unusable. The loss of the airway would 
have little impact on the flying public and the FAA has plans to 
replace this route with a United States Area Navigation Route in the 
near future. Therefore, the FAA proposes to revoke B-5.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to revoke 
Colored Federal airway B-5 due to the decommissioning of PHO. B-5 
currently navigates between LUR and PHO. The FAA proposes to revoke 
Colored Federal airway B-5 in its entirety.
    Colored Federal airways are published in paragraph 6009(d) of FAA 
Order JO 7400.11F dated August 10, 2021 and effective September 15, 
2021, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Blue 
Federal Airway listed in this document would be published subsequently 
in FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 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.
