ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM).
AGENCY:
This action proposes to
amend VHF Omnidirectional Range
(VOR) Federal airway V–171 in the
vicinity of Roseau, MN. The amendment
is due to the planned decommissioning
of the VOR portion of the Roseau, MN
(ROX), VOR/Distance Measuring
Equipment (VOR/DME) navigational aid
(NAVAID) which provides navigation
guidance for portions of the affected
airway. The Roseau VOR is being
decommissioned as part of the FAA’s
VOR Minimum Operational Network
(MON) program.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before January 26, 2023.

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 would
modify the Air Traffic Service (ATS)
route structure as necessary to preserve
the safe and efficient flow of air traffic
within the National Airspace System.
Comments Invited
Interested parties are invited to
participate in this proposed rulemaking
by submitting such written data, views,
or arguments as they may desire.
Comments that provide the factual basis
supporting the views and suggestions
presented are particularly helpful in
developing reasoned regulatory
decisions on the proposal. Comments
are specifically invited on the overall
regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related
aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both
docket numbers (FAA Docket No. FAA–
2022–1586; Airspace Docket No. 22–
AGL–19) and be submitted in triplicate
to the Docket Management Facility (see

comments a self-addressed, stamped
postcard on which the following
statement is made: ‘‘Comments to FAA

Docket No. 22–AGL–19.’’ The postcard
will be date/time stamped and returned
to the commenter.
All communications received on or
before the specified comment closing
date will be considered before taking
action on the proposed rule. The
proposal contained in this action may
be changed in light of comments
received. All comments submitted will
be available for examination in the
public docket both before and after the
comment closing date. A report
summarizing each substantive public
contact with FAA personnel concerned
with this rulemaking will be filed in the
docket.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 237 / Monday, December 12, 2022 / Proposed Rules
Background
The FAA is planning to
decommission the VOR portion of the
Roseau, MN, VOR/DME in August,
2023. The Roseau VOR was one of the
candidate VORs identified for
discontinuance by the FAA’s VOR MON
program and listed in the Final policy
statement notice, ‘‘Provision of
Navigation Services for the Next
Generation Air Transportation System
(NextGen) Transition to PerformanceBased Navigation (PBN) (Plan for
Establishing a VOR Minimum
Operational Network),’’ published in the
Federal Register of July 26, 2016 (81 FR
48694), Docket No. FAA–2011–1082.
Although the VOR portion of the
Roseau VOR/DME NAVAID is planned
for decommissioning, the co-located
DME portion of the NAVAID is being
retained to support NextGen PBN flight
procedure requirements.
The VOR Federal airway affected by
the Roseau VOR decommissioning is V–
171. With the planned decommissioning
of the Roseau VOR, the remaining
ground-based NAVAID coverage in the
area is insufficient to enable the
continuity of the affected airway. As
such, the proposed modification to V–
171 would result in the airway being
shortened due to the Roseau VOR/DME
end point being removed
To overcome the proposed
modification, instrument flight rules
(IFR) traffic could use the adjacent VOR
Federal airway V–430 for conventional
navigation or Area Navigation (RNAV)
routes T–383 and T–407 for GPS
navigation by properly equipped
aircraft. Additionally, pilots equipped
with RNAV capabilities could also
navigate point to point using the
existing fixes that would remain in
place to support continued operations
though the affected area. IFR aircraft
may also receive air traffic control
(ATC) radar vectors to fly around or
through the affected area. Visual flight
rules (VFR) pilots who elect to navigate
via the affected VOR Federal airways
could also take advantage of the
adjacent ATS routes or ATC services
listed previously.
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to 14 CFR part 71 to amend VOR
Federal airway V–171 due to the
planned decommissioning of the VOR
portion of the Roseau, MN, VOR/DME.
The proposed airway action is described
below.
V–171: V–171 currently extends
between the Lexington, KY, VOR/DME
and the Joliet, IL, VOR/DME; and
between the Nodine, MN, VOR/Tactical
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
Air Navigation (VORTAC) and the
Roseau, MN, VOR/DME. The FAA
proposes to remove the airway segment
between the Grand Forks, ND, VOR/
DME and the Roseau, MN, VOR/DME.
As amended, the airway would be
changed to extend between the
Lexington VOR/DME and the Joliet
VOR/DME; and between the Nodine
VORTAC and the Grand Forks VOR/
DME.
The NAVAID radials contained in the
airway description below are unchanged
and stated in True degrees.
VOR Federal airways are published in
paragraph 6010(a) 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 VOR 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.
