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.

An informal docket may also be examined during normal business hours at the office of the Eastern Service Center, Federal Aviation Administration, Room 210, 1701 Columbia Avenue, College Park, GA 30337. 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. E:\FR\FM\08FEP1.SGM 08FEP1 8242 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.

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.

[[Page 8242]]

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.
