(e) Unsafe Condition
(i) Installation Prohibition
[FR Doc. 2022–26831 Filed 12–9–22; 8:45 am]
This AD was prompted by a manufacturer
investigation that revealed that certain HPT
stage 1 disks, HPT stage 2 disks, and stages
7–9 compressor rotor spools were
manufactured from powder metal material
suspected to contain iron inclusion. The FAA
is issuing this AD to prevent fracture and
potential uncontained failure of certain HPT
stage 1 disks, HPT stage 2 disks, and stages
7–9 compressor rotor spools. The unsafe
condition, if not addressed, could result in
uncontained debris release, damage to the
engine, and damage to the aircraft.
After the effective date of this AD, do not
install an HPT stage 1 disk, HPT stage 2 disk,
or stages 7–9 compressor rotor spool with a
P/N and S/N identified in Table 1 to
paragraph (c) of this AD onto any engine.

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 will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this 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
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
The FAA has determined that this
action of amending Jet Route J–64, VOR
Federal airways V–50, V–71, V–216, and
V–307, and RNAV route T–286;
establishing RNAV route T–468; and
revoking J–130, J–192, V–553, and the
Pawnee City, NE, low altitude reporting
point, due to the planned
decommissioning of the VOR portion of
the Pawnee City, NE, VORTAC
NAVAID, 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, 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) and paragraph 5–6.5k,
which categorically excludes from
further environmental impact review
the publication of existing air traffic
control procedures that do not
essentially change existing tracks, create
new tracks, change altitude, or change
concentration of aircraft on these tracks.
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
History
The FAA published a final rule in the
Federal Register (87 FR 64162; October
24, 2022), amending RNAV route T–266
in support of a large and comprehensive
T-route modernization project for the
state of Alaska. Subsequent to
publication, the FAA determined that
the T–266 route points listed in the
route description did not match the
order of the route points listed in the
route data forms or the FAA NASR
database. This rule corrects that
mismatch of route points listed in the
rule and in the route data forms and
NASR database by reversing the order of
the route points listed in the T–266
description published in the final rule.
This is an editorial change only to
match the route data forms and FAA
NASR database information and does
not alter the alignment of the T–266
route.
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 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, RNAV route
T–266 reflected in Docket No. FAA–
2021–1106, as published in the Federal
Register of October 24, 2022 (87 FR
64162), FR Doc. 2022–22411, is
corrected as follows:

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 modifies 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-2022-0712 in the Federal Register (87 FR 35133; June 9, 2022),
amending Jet Route J-64, VOR Federal airways V-50, V-71, V-216, and V-
307, and RNAV route T-286; establishing RNAV route T-468; and revoking
J-130, J-192, V-553, and the Pawnee City, NE, low altitude reporting
point. The proposed actions were due to the planned decommissioning of
the VOR portion of the Pawnee City, NE, VORTAC NAVAID. Interested
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were received.
Jet Routes are published in paragraph 2004, VOR Federal airways are
published in paragraph 6010(a), United States Area Navigation Routes
are published in paragraph 6011, and Domestic Low Altitude Reporting
Points are published in paragraph 7001 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 ATS route and reporting
point actions listed in this document will be published subsequently in
FAA Order JO 7400.11.
Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference
This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September
15, 2022. FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11G 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 amending Jet Route J-64, VOR
Federal airways V-50, V-71, V-216, and V-307, and RNAV route T-286;
establishing RNAV route T-468; and revoking J-130, J-192, V-553, and
the Pawnee City, NE, low altitude reporting point due to the planned
decommissioning of the Pawnee City, NE, VOR. The ATS route and low
altitude reporting point actions are described below.
J-64: J-64 extends between the Los Angeles, CA, VORTAC and the
intersection of the Ravine, PA, VORTAC 102[deg] and Lancaster, PA, VOR/
Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) 044[deg] radials (SARAA Fix).
The route segment overlying the Pawnee City, NE, VORTAC between the
Hill City, KS, VORTAC and the Lamoni, IA, VOR/DME is removed. As
amended, the route is changed to extend between the Los Angeles, CA,
VORTAC and the Hill City, KS, VORTAC and between the Lamoni, IA, VOR/
DME and the intersection of the Ravine, PA, VORTAC 102[deg] and
Lancaster, PA, VOR/DME 044[deg] radials (SARAA Fix).
J-130: J-130 extends between the McCook, NE, VOR/DME and the Pawnee
City, NE, VORTAC. The route is removed in its entirety.
J-192: J-192 extends between the Goodland, KS, VORTAC and the Iowa
City, IA, VOR/DME. The route is removed in its entirety.
V-50: V-50 extends between the Hastings, NE, VOR/DME and the
Dayton, OH, VOR/DME. The airway segment overlying the Pawnee City
VORTAC between the Hastings, NE, VOR/DME and the St Joseph, MO, VORTAC
is removed. As amended, the airway is changed to extend between the St
Joseph, MO, VORTAC and the Dayton, OH, VOR/DME.
V-71: V-71 extends between the Fighting Tiger, LA, VORTAC and the
O'Neill, NE, VORTAC and between the Pierre, SD, VORTAC and the

VORTAC between the Topeka, KS, VORTAC and the Lincoln, NE, VORTAC is
removed. As amended, the airway is changed to extend between the
Fighting Tiger, LA, VORTAC and the Tokepa, KS, VORTAC; between the
Lincoln, NE, VORTAC and the O'Neill, NE, VORTAC; and between the
Pierre, SD, VORTAC and the Williston, ND, VOR/DME.
V-216: V-216 extends between the Lamar, CO, VOR/DME and the
Janesville, WI, VOR/DME. The airway segment overlying the Pawnee City
VORTAC between the Mankato, KS, VORTAC and the Lamoni, IA, VOR/DME is
removed. As amended, the airway is changed to extend between the Lamar,
CO, VOR/DME and the Mankato, KS, VORTAC; and between the Lamoni, IA,
VOR/DME and the Janesville, WI, VOR/DME.
V-307: V-307 extends between the Chanute, KS, VORTAC and the Omaha,
IA, VORTAC. The airway segment overlying the Pawnee City VORTAC between
the Emporia, KS, VORTAC and the Omaha, IA, VORTAC is removed. As
amended, the airway is changed to extend between the Chanute, KS,
VORTAC and the Emporia, KS, VORTAC.
V-553: V-553 extends between the Salina, KS, VORTAC and the Pawnee
City, KS, VORTAC. The airway is removed in its entirety.
T-286: T-286 extends between the Rapid City, SD, VORTAC and the
BOWLR, KS, Fix. The Pawnee City, NE, VORTAC is replaced by the HTHWY,
NE, waypoint (WP) being established in close proximity of the Pawnee
City VORTAC; the EFFEX, NE, Fix is removed from the route description
since it does not denote a route turn point; and the route is extended
northward to the FONIA, ND, Fix via the JELRO, SD, Fix and the
Dickenson, ND, VORTAC. The amended route provides RNAV routing between
the Williston, ND, area and the Atchison, KS, area. The full route
description is listed in the amendments to part 71 as set forth below.
[[Page 75922]]
T-468: T-468 is a new RNAV route that extends between the Hill
City, KS, VORTAC and the LEWRP, MO, WP. This new T-route provides RNAV
routing between the Hill City, KS, area eastward to the Kirksville, MO,
area via the KNSAS, KS, WP being established and the Lamoni, IA, VOR/
DME. The full route description is listed in the amendments to part 71
as set forth below.
Pawnee City, NE: The Pawnee City, NE, low altitude reporting point
is removed as it is no longer required by air traffic control as a
result of the Pawnee City VOR being decommissioned.
All NAVAID radials listed in the ATS route descriptions below are
unchanged and stated in True degrees.
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.
Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this 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
The FAA has determined that this action of amending Jet Route J-64,
VOR Federal airways V-50, V-71, V-216, and V-307, and RNAV route T-286;
establishing RNAV route T-468; and revoking J-130, J-192, V-553, and
the Pawnee City, NE, low altitude reporting point, due to the planned
decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Pawnee City, NE, VORTAC
NAVAID, 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, 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) and paragraph 5-6.5k, which
categorically excludes from further environmental impact review the
publication of existing air traffic control procedures that do not
essentially change existing tracks, create new tracks, change altitude,
or change concentration of aircraft on these tracks. 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.
