Proposed Revocation of Colored Federal Airway Blue 79 (B-79); Annette Island, AK, 10992-10994 [2022-04068]

Download as PDF 10992 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 39 / Monday, February 28, 2022 / Proposed Rules decommission Anaktuvuk Pass, AK, (AKP) NDB. North Slope Burrough owns and operates AKP and has raised concerns related to the high cost of maintenance and needed repairs. The FAA conducted a non-rulemaking study in response to their request 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. The FAA concurs with the request and plans to remove AKP from service. Colored Federal airway Amber 4 (A– 4) is a short route that utilizes the Evansville, AK, (ENO) NDB and AKP. The decommissioning of AKP would result in A–4 being unusable. The current alternative to navigate between Bettles Airport, Alaska and Anaktuvuk Pass Airport, Alaska, would be to utilize VHF Omnidirectional Radar (VOR) Federal airways V–444 and V–504; and United States Area Navigation (RNAV) routes T–232, and T–240. The FAA proposes to revoke A–4 due to the decommissioning of AKP. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to revoke Colored Federal airway A–4 due to the decommissioning of AKP. A–4 currently navigates between ENO and AKP. The FAA proposes to revoke Colored Federal airway A–4 in its entirety. Colored Federal airways are published in paragraph 6009(c) 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 Colored 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 VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:29 Feb 25, 2022 Jkt 256001 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. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Environmental Review RIN 2120–AA66 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.

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 Nichols, AK, (ICK) NDB in Annette Island, AK has been scheduled 
for decommissioning, effective February 23, 2023 due to ongoing and 
high cost 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.
    Colored Federal airway B-79 is dependent upon ICK and navigates 
between Sandpit, BC, (CYZP) Canada, NDB and ICK. The airspace in Canada 
is not included in the route, so it terminates at the Canada border 
just south of ICK. The decommissioning of ICK would result in B-79 
being unusable. VHF Omnidirectional Radar (VOR) Federal airway V-137 
overlies B-79 and would mitigate the loss of B-79, therefore, the FAA 
proposes to revoke B-79.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to revoke 
Colored Federal airway B-79 due to the decommissioning of ICK. B-79 
currently navigates between ICK and CYZP, excluding the airspace within 
Canada. The FAA proposes to revoke Colored Federal airway B-79 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.
