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 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–
2023–0215; Airspace Docket No. 22–
ANE–7) and be submitted in triplicate to
the Docket Management Facility (see
ADDRESSES section for address and
phone number). You may also submit
comments through the internet at
www.regulations.gov.
Commenters wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments
on this action must submit with those
comments a self-addressed, stamped
postcard on which the following
statement is made: ‘‘Comments to FAA
Docket No. FAA–2023–0215; Airspace
Docket No. 22–ANE–7.’’ The postcard
will be date/time stamped and returned
to the commenter.
All communications received on or
before the specified comment closing

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.

Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
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.
Background
As published in FAA Order JO
7400.11G, airway V–314 extends from
Quebec, Canada to the Millinocket, ME
(MLT), VHF Omnidirectional Range/
Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/
DME). Previously, NavCanada cancelled
the segments of V–314 within Canada as
part of their transition to area navigation
routes. As a result, V–314 consists of an
83 nautical mile segment from a point
on the U.S./Canadian border to the
Millinocket VOR/DME. Boston Air
Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC)
has determined that the remaining route
serves no ATC purpose and should be
removed.

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 26 / Wednesday, February 8, 2023 / Proposed Rules
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to 14 CFR part 71 to remove VOR
Federal airway V–314 in Maine. Since
NavCanada has cancelled the
connecting route segments in Canada,
the remaining route is not required for
ATC purposes.
Domestic VOR Federal airways are
published in paragraph 6009 of FAA
Order JO 7400.11G dated August 19,
2022, and effective September 15, 2022,
which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR part 71.1. The VOR Federal Airway
listed in this document would be
subsequently removed from 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.
