ACTION: Final rule; correction. AGENCY: This action corrects a final rule published by the FAA in the Federal Register on November 1, 2022, that amends Alaskan VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airway V–436 and Jet Route J–125, and establishes United States Area Navigation (RNAV) route T–399 in the vicinity of Clear, AK. In the final rule, the amendments to V–436 addressed in the preamble were incomplete and did not address all of the airway segment amendments being made. Additionally, the final rule referenced the AILEE, AK, route point as a waypoint (WP), in error, in the V–436 and T–399 amendment discussions in the preamble and in the T–399 route description in the regulatory text. The correct characterization of the AILEE, AK, route point is as a Fix. This action corrects the oversight of not including all of the V– 436 amendments addressed in the preamble to match the V–436 description in the regulatory text and changes all references of the AILEE, AK, WP to the AILEE, AK, Fix to match the FAA’s National Airspace System Resource (NASR) database information. DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, December 29, 2022. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: History The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (87 FR 65675; November 1, 2022), amending Alaskan VOR Federal airway V–436 and Jet Route J–125, and establishing RNAV route T–399 in the vicinity of Clear, AK. Subsequent to publication, the FAA determined that the amendments to V– 436 addressed in the preamble were incomplete and did not address all of the airway segment amendments being made. Additionally, the FAA determined that the AILEE, AK, route point was incorrectly identified as a WP. As such, the preamble discussion of the V–436 amendments appear inconsistent with the amended V–436 description listed in the regulatory text and all references of the AILEE, AK, WP do not match the FAA’s NASR database information. This rule corrects the preamble discussion of the V–436 amendments to include all of the airway segment amendments being made and changes all references of the AILEE, AK, WP to the AILEE, AK, Fix. This action does not alter the alignment of the amended V– 436 airway or the established T–399 route listed in the final rule. Alaskan VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(b) and United States Area Navigation Routes are published in paragraph 6011 of FAA Order JO 7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 15, 2022, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Alaskan VOR Federal airway and RNAV T-route listed in this document will be published subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11. Correction to Final Rule Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the V–436 amendment discussion contained in the preamble and all references of the AILEE, AK, WP in Docket No. FAA– 2021–0245, as published in the Federal Register of November 1, 2022 (87 FR 65675), FR Doc. 2022–23369, are corrected as follows: ■ 1.

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 modifies the route structure as necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the National Airspace System (NAS). History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for Docket No. FAA–2022–0335 in the Federal Register (87 FR 19823; April 6, 2022), revoking Colored Federal airway A–2 due to the planned decommissioning of the Nebesna, AK, NDB. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting comments on the proposal. No comments were received. Amber Federal airways are published in paragraph 6009(c) of FAA Order JO 7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 15, 2022, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.

The Rule This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by revoking Colored Federal airway A–2 due to the planned decommissioning of the Nebesna, AK, NDB in the vicinity of Northway, AK. The amendment is described below. A–2: A–2 extends between the Beaver Creek, YT, Canada, NDB and the Delta Junction, AK, NDB, excluding the airspace within Canada. The airway is removed in its entirety. 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 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.

Amendment to VOR Federal Airway V-436 and Jet Route J-125, and 
Establishment of United States Area Navigation Route T-399 in the 
Vicinity of Clear, AK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action corrects a final rule published by the FAA in the 
Federal Register on November 1, 2022, that amends Alaskan VHF 
Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airway V-436 and Jet Route J-125, 
and establishes United States Area Navigation (RNAV) route T-399 in the 
vicinity of Clear, AK. In the final rule, the amendments to V-436 
addressed in the preamble were incomplete and did not address all of 
the airway segment amendments being made. Additionally, the final rule 
referenced the AILEE, AK, route point as a waypoint (WP), in error, in 
the V-436 and T-399 amendment discussions in the preamble and in the T-
399 route description in the regulatory text. The correct 
characterization of the AILEE, AK, route point is as a Fix. This action 
corrects the oversight of not including all of the V-436 amendments 
addressed in the preamble to match the V-436 description in the 
regulatory text and changes all references of the AILEE, AK, WP to the 
AILEE, AK, Fix to match the FAA's National Airspace System Resource 
(NASR) database information.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, December 29, 2022. The Director of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (87 FR 
65675; November 1, 2022), amending Alaskan VOR Federal airway V-436 and 
Jet Route J-125, and establishing RNAV route T-399 in the vicinity of 
Clear, AK. Subsequent to publication, the FAA determined that the 
amendments to V-436 addressed in the preamble were incomplete and did 
not address all of the airway segment amendments being made. 
Additionally, the FAA determined that the AILEE, AK, route point was 
incorrectly identified as a WP. As such, the preamble discussion of the 
V-436 amendments appear inconsistent with the amended V-436 description 
listed in the regulatory text and all references of the AILEE, AK, WP 
do not match the FAA's NASR database information.
    This rule corrects the preamble discussion of the V-436 amendments 
to include all of the airway segment amendments being made and changes 
all references of the AILEE, AK, WP to the AILEE, AK, Fix. This action 
does not alter the alignment of the amended V-436 airway or the 
established T-399 route listed in the final rule.
    Alaskan VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(b) and 
United States Area Navigation Routes are published in paragraph 6011 of 
FAA Order JO 7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 
15, 2022, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The 
Alaskan VOR Federal airway and RNAV T-route listed in this document 
will be published subsequently in FAA Order JO 7400.11.

Correction to Final Rule

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the V-436 
amendment discussion contained in the preamble and all references of 
the AILEE, AK, WP in Docket No. FAA-2021-0245, as published in the 
Federal Register of November 1, 2022 (87 FR 65675), FR Doc. 2022-23369, 
are corrected as follows:

between the Talkeetna, AK (TKA), VOR/DME and the Nenana, AK (ENN), VHF 
Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) and replaces the 
removed airway segment with an airway segment that extends between the 
Talkeetna, AK (TKA), VOR/DME; the AILEE, AK, Fix; and the Fairbanks, AK 
(FAI), VORTAC. Additionally, the airway segment north of the Nenana, 
AK, VORTAC to the Deadhorse, AK, VOR/DME is removed as discussed in the 
NPRM. As amended, V-436 will extend between the Anchorage, AK, VOR/DME 
and the Fairbanks, AK, VORTAC.''
