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 National Airspace System
(NAS) as necessary to preserve the safe
and efficient flow of air traffic.

participate in this rulemaking by
submitting written comments, data, or
views. Comments are specifically
invited on the overall regulatory,
aeronautical, economic, environmental,
and energy-related aspects of the
proposal. The most helpful comments
reference a specific portion of the
proposal, explain the reason for any
recommended change, and include
supporting data. To ensure the docket
does not contain duplicate comments,
commenters should submit only one
time if comments are filed
electronically, or commenters should
send only one copy of written
comments if comments are filed in
writing.

Incorporation by Reference
VOR Federal airways are published in
paragraph 6010(a) and United States
Area Navigation Routes (T-routes) are
published in paragraph 6011 of FAA
Order JO 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This
document proposes to amend the
current version of that order, FAA Order
JO 7400.11H, dated August 11, 2023,
and effective September 15, 2023. These
updates would be published in the next
update to FAA Order JO 7400.11. That
order is publicly available as listed in
the ADDRESSES section of this document.
FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic
service routes, and reporting points.
Background
The FAA is planning to
decommission the Cincinnati, KY, VOR
in May 2024. The Cincinnati 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 on July 26, 2016 (81 FR
48694), Docket No. FAA–2011–1082.
Although the VOR portion of the
Cincinnati, KY, VORTAC is planned for
decommissioning, the co-located
Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN)
portion of the NAVAID is being retained
to provide navigational service for
E:\FR\FM\09NOP1.SGM
09NOP1
77240
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 216 / Thursday, November 9, 2023 / Proposed Rules
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
military operations and Distance
Measuring Equipment (DME) service in
support of current and future NextGen
PBN flight procedure requirements.
The VOR Federal airways affected by
the Cincinnati VOR decommissioning
are V–5, V–19, V–47, V–97, V–128, V–
275, and V–517. With the planned
decommissioning of the Cincinnati
VOR, the remaining ground-based
NAVAID coverage in the area is
insufficient to enable the continuity of
the affected airways. As such, proposed
modifications to V–5, V–47, V–128, V–
275, and V–517 would result in the
airways being shortened; to V–97 would
result in an existing gap in the airway
being expanded; and to V–19 would
result in the airway being revoked.
To address the proposed
modifications to the affected VOR
Federal airways, instrument flight rules
(IFR) pilots operating aircraft equipped
with RNAV capabilities could use
RNAV routes T–213, T–215, and T–217
or navigate point-to-point using the
existing fixes and waypoints (WP) that
will remain in place to support
continued operations though the
affected area. IFR pilots operating
aircraft not equipped with RNAV
capabilities may request air traffic
control (ATC) radar vectors to fly
through or around the affected area.
Additionally, visual flight rules pilots
who elect to navigate via the affected
Air Traffic Service (ATS) routes may
also take advantage of the ATC services
listed previously.
Additionally, the FAA proposes to
modify United States RNAV route T–
315 to further mitigate the proposed
modifications to the affected airways.
The route would be extended westward
to mitigate the proposed removal of the
affected V–128 airway segment. The
extended T–315 would provide pilots
with RNAV-equipped aircraft a route
alternative through the affected area,
reduce ATC sector workload and
complexity, reduce pilot-to-controller
communications, and support the FAA’s
continued NextGen efforts to modernize
the NAS from a ground-based system to
a satellite-based system.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing to amend 14
CFR part 71 to amend VOR Federal
airways V–5, V–47, V–97, V–128, V–
275, and V–517, and United States
RNAV route T–315, and to revoke VOR
Federal airway V–19 due to the planned
decommissioning of the VOR portion of
the Cincinnati, KY, VORTAC. The
proposed ATS route actions are
described below.
V–5: V–5 currently extends between
the Pecan, GA, VOR/DME and the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:04 Nov 08, 2023
Jkt 262001
Athens, GA, VOR/DME and between the
New Hope, KY, VOR/DME and the
Appleton, OH, VORTAC. The FAA
proposes to remove the airway segment
between the Louisville, KY, VORTAC
and the Appleton VORTAC due to the
planned decommissioning of the VOR
portion of the Cincinnati VORTAC.
Additionally, the FAA proposes to also
remove the airway segment between the
New Hope, KY, VOR/DME and the
Louisville, KY, VORTAC due to that
airway segment overlapping V–513
which will remain charted and provide
navigational guidance between the two
NAVAIDs. As amended, the airway
would be changed to extend between
the Pecan VOR/DME and the Athens
VOR/DME.
V–19: V–19 currently extends
between the Cincinnati, KY (reflected as
OH in the current description), VOR/
DME and the Appleton, OH, VORTAC.
The FAA proposes to revoke the airway
in its entirety.
V–47: V–47 currently extends
between the Cunningham, KY, VOR/
DME and the Pocket City, IN, VORTAC
and between the Cincinnati, KY,
VORTAC and the Flag City, OH,
VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove
the airway segment between the
Cincinnati VORTAC and the Rosewood,
OH, VORTAC due to the planned
decommissioning of the VOR portion of
the Cincinnati VORTAC. Additionally,
the FAA proposes to also remove the
airway segment between the
Cunningham VOR/DME and the Pocket
City VORTAC due to that airway
segment overlapping both V–11 and V–
305 that will remain charted and
provide navigational guidance between
the two NAVAIDs. As amended, the
airway would be changed to extend
between the Rosewood VORTAC and
the Flag City VORTAC.
V–97: V–97 currently extends
between the Dolphin, FL, VORTAC and
the intersection of the Pecan, GA, VOR/
DME 357° and Vienna, GA, VORTAC
300° radials (PRATZ Fix); between the
intersection of the Rome, GA, VORTAC
060° and Volunteer, TN, VORTAC 197°
radials (NELLO Fix) and the intersection
of the Chicago Heights, IL, VORTAC
358° and DuPage, IL, VOR/DME 101°
radials (NILES Fix); and between the
Nodine, MN, VORTAC and the Gopher,
MN, VORTAC. The airspace below
2,000 feet mean sea level (MSL) outside
the United States is excluded. The FAA
proposes to remove the airway segment
between the Lexington, KY, VOR/DME
and the Shelbyville, IN, VOR/DME due
to the planned decommissioning of the
VOR portion of the Cincinnati VORTAC.
Additionally, the FAA proposes to also
remove the airway segment between the
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
Shelbyville VOR/DME and the Chicago
Heights VORTAC due to that airway
segment overlapping V–51 that will
remain charted and provide
navigational guidance between the two
NAVAIDs. Lastly, the FAA proposes to
also remove the airway segment
between the Chicago Heights VORTAC
and the intersection of the Chicago
Heights VORTAC 358° and DuPage
VOR/DME 101° radials (NILES Fix) due
to that airway segment overlapping V–
7 that will remain charted and provide
navigational guidance between the
Chicago Heights VORTAC and the
NILES Fix. As amended, the airway
would be changed to extend between
the Dolphin VORTAC and the Lexington
VOR/DME and between the Nodine
VORTAC and the Gopher VORTAC.
V–128: V–128 currently extends
between the Brickyard, IN, VORTAC
and the Casanova, VA, VORTAC. The
FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment between the Brickyard
VORTAC and the York, KY, VORTAC.
As amended, the airway would be
changed to extend between the York
VORTAC and the Casanova VORTAC.
Additional airway changes have been
proposed in a separate NPRM action.
V–275: V–275 currently extends
between the Cincinnati, KY, VORTAC
and the intersection of the Dayton, OH,
VOR/DME 007° and Flag City, OH,
VORTAC 313° radials (KLOEE Fix). The
FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment between the Cincinnati
VORTAC and the Dayton VOR/DME. As
amended, the airway would be changed
to extend between the Dayton VOR/
DME and the intersection of the Dayton
VOR/DME 007° and Flag City VORTAC
313° radials (KLOEE Fix).
V–517: V–517 currently extends
between the Snowbird, TN, VORTAC
and the Cincinnati, KY, VORTAC. The
FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment between the Falmouth, KY,
VOR/DME and the Cincinnati VORTAC.
As amended, the airway would be
changed to extend between the
Snowbird VORTAC and the Falmouth
VOR/DME.
T–315: T–315 currently extends
between the JARLO, WV, WP and the
Burlington, VT, VORTAC. The FAA
proposes to extend the route westward
from the JARLO WP to the Brickyard,
IN, VORTAC. The route extension
would include the ILILE, OH, Fix that
would be converted to a WP prior to the
planned decommissioning of the
Cincinnati VOR. As amended, T–315
would be changed to extend between
the Brickyard, IN, VORTAC and the
Burlington, VT, VORTAC and provide
mitigation for the proposed V–128
airway segment removal. Additional
E:\FR\FM\09NOP1.SGM
09NOP1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 216 / Thursday, November 9, 2023 / Proposed Rules
route changes have been proposed in a
separate NPRM action. The full T–315
route description is listed in the
amendments to part 71 as set forth
below.
The NAVAID radials listed in the
VOR Federal airway descriptions in The
Proposed Amendment section below are
unchanged and stated in degrees True
north.
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 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.

Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard is proposing
to establish a security zone for certain
waters of the Key West Harbor
surrounding the Coast Guard Sector Key
West on Trumbo Point Annex. This
action is necessary to safeguard Coast
Guard assets in the interest of national
security. This proposed rulemaking
would prohibit persons and vessels
from being in the security zone unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port
Key West or a designated representative.
We invite your comments on this
proposed rulemaking.
DATES: Comments and related material
must be received by the Coast Guard on
or before December 11, 2023.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
identified by docket number USCG–
2023–0803 using the Federal DecisionMaking Portal at https://
www.regulations.gov. See the ‘‘Public
Participation and Request for
Comments’’ portion of the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for
further instructions on submitting
comments. This notice of proposed
rulemaking with its plain-language, 100word-or-less proposed rule summary
will be available in this same docket.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background, Purpose, and Legal
Basis
The Coast Guard Sector Key West, FL
and its assets are on property previously
under the control of the Naval Air
Station (NAS) Key West, FL. The
current regulations restricting vessel
traffic in and around NAS Key West are
found in 33 CFR 334.610 and are only
enforceable by the Commanding Officer
of NAS Key West, and certain
designated agencies. Currently, the
Coast Guard requires the authority from
the Commanding Officer, NAS Key
West, before they can enforce a security
zone in and around Coast Guard
property and assets. This additional step
can generate unnecessary delays, which
creates security concerns for the Coast
Guard and potential hazards to the
public. The Captain of the Port Key
West (COTP) has determined that
permanent security zone is in the
interest of national security, the safety
of life, and the prevention of damage to
property.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to
ensure the security of vessels,
waterfront facilities, and personnel
located at the Coast Guard, Sector Key
West. The Coast Guard is proposing this
rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70051 and 70124.
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The COTP is proposing to establish a
permanent security zone surrounding
the Coast Guard Sector Key West,
located adjacent to Trumbo Point
Annex, Naval Air Station Key West. The
security zone would cover all navigable
waters within 100 yards of the Coast
Guard Sector Key West. No vessel, other
than Government-owned vessels and
specifically authorized private craft, or
persons would be permitted to stop or
land in the security zone. The regulatory
text we are proposing appears at the end
of this document.
IV. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this proposed rule after
considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and
Executive orders, and we discuss First
Amendment rights of protestors.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
direct agencies to assess the costs and
benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits.
This NPRM has not been designated a
‘‘significant regulatory action,’’ under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as
amended by Executive Order 14094
(Modernizing Regulatory Review).
Accordingly, the NPRM has not been
reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB).
This regulatory action determination
is based on the fact that the area covered
by the permanent security zone created
by this rulemaking is already a regulated
restricted area as contained in 33 CFR
334.610. Unauthorized vessels and
persons have not been allowed to stop
and land within 100 yards of the Coast
Guard base on Trumbo Point Annex
through the regulation in § 334.610.
This rulemaking allows the Coast Guard
to enforce the restricted area through a
security zone. Additionally, the security
zone only extends 100 yards from the
Coast Guard Sector Key West, located
adjacent to Trumbo Point Annex, Naval
Air Station Key West and does not
impede any regular vessel traffic (i.e.,
cruise ships, ferries, small passenger
vessels, etc.). Vessels will be able to
transit safely around the zone.
B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of
1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended,
requires Federal agencies to consider
the potential impact of regulations on
small entities during rulemaking. The
term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises small
businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and
operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions
with populations of less than 50,000.
The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C.
605(b) that this proposed rule would not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
For the reasons stated in section IV.A
above, this proposed rule would not
have a significant economic impact on
any vessel owner or operator.
If you think that your business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity
and that this proposed rule would have
a significant economic impact on it,
please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it
qualifies and how and to what degree
this rulemaking would economically
affect it.
Under section 213(a) of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121),
we want to assist small entities in
understanding this proposed rule. If the
proposed rule would affect your small
business, organization, or governmental

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 National Airspace System (NAS) as
necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic.

Incorporation by Reference
VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) and United
States Area Navigation Routes (T-routes) are published in paragraph
6011 of FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting
Points, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual
basis. This document proposes to amend the current version of that
order, FAA Order JO 7400.11H, dated August 11, 2023, and effective
September 15, 2023. These updates would be published in the next update
to FAA Order JO 7400.11. That order is publicly available as listed in
the ADDRESSES section of this document.
FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting points.
Background
The FAA is planning to decommission the Cincinnati, KY, VOR in May
2024. The Cincinnati 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
Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) (Plan for Establishing a VOR Minimum
Operational Network),'' published in the Federal Register on July 26,
2016 (81 FR 48694), Docket No. FAA-2011-1082.
Although the VOR portion of the Cincinnati, KY, VORTAC is planned
for decommissioning, the co-located Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN)
portion of the NAVAID is being retained to provide navigational service
for
[[Page 77240]]
military operations and Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) service in
support of current and future NextGen PBN flight procedure
requirements.
The VOR Federal airways affected by the Cincinnati VOR
decommissioning are V-5, V-19, V-47, V-97, V-128, V-275, and V-517.
With the planned decommissioning of the Cincinnati VOR, the remaining
ground-based NAVAID coverage in the area is insufficient to enable the
continuity of the affected airways. As such, proposed modifications to
V-5, V-47, V-128, V-275, and V-517 would result in the airways being
shortened; to V-97 would result in an existing gap in the airway being
expanded; and to V-19 would result in the airway being revoked.
To address the proposed modifications to the affected VOR Federal
airways, instrument flight rules (IFR) pilots operating aircraft
equipped with RNAV capabilities could use RNAV routes T-213, T-215, and
T-217 or navigate point-to-point using the existing fixes and waypoints
(WP) that will remain in place to support continued operations though
the affected area. IFR pilots operating aircraft not equipped with RNAV
capabilities may request air traffic control (ATC) radar vectors to fly
through or around the affected area. Additionally, visual flight rules
pilots who elect to navigate via the affected Air Traffic Service (ATS)
routes may also take advantage of the ATC services listed previously.
Additionally, the FAA proposes to modify United States RNAV route
T-315 to further mitigate the proposed modifications to the affected
airways. The route would be extended westward to mitigate the proposed
removal of the affected V-128 airway segment. The extended T-315 would
provide pilots with RNAV-equipped aircraft a route alternative through
the affected area, reduce ATC sector workload and complexity, reduce
pilot-to-controller communications, and support the FAA's continued
NextGen efforts to modernize the NAS from a ground-based system to a
satellite-based system.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing to amend 14 CFR part 71 to amend VOR Federal
airways V-5, V-47, V-97, V-128, V-275, and V-517, and United States
RNAV route T-315, and to revoke VOR Federal airway V-19 due to the
planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Cincinnati, KY,
VORTAC. The proposed ATS route actions are described below.
V-5: V-5 currently extends between the Pecan, GA, VOR/DME and the
Athens, GA, VOR/DME and between the New Hope, KY, VOR/DME and the
Appleton, OH, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the airway segment
between the Louisville, KY, VORTAC and the Appleton VORTAC due to the
planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Cincinnati VORTAC.
Additionally, the FAA proposes to also remove the airway segment
between the New Hope, KY, VOR/DME and the Louisville, KY, VORTAC due to
that airway segment overlapping V-513 which will remain charted and
provide navigational guidance between the two NAVAIDs. As amended, the
airway would be changed to extend between the Pecan VOR/DME and the
Athens VOR/DME.
V-19: V-19 currently extends between the Cincinnati, KY (reflected
as OH in the current description), VOR/DME and the Appleton, OH,
VORTAC. The FAA proposes to revoke the airway in its entirety.
V-47: V-47 currently extends between the Cunningham, KY, VOR/DME
and the Pocket City, IN, VORTAC and between the Cincinnati, KY, VORTAC
and the Flag City, OH, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment between the Cincinnati VORTAC and the Rosewood, OH, VORTAC due
to the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Cincinnati
VORTAC. Additionally, the FAA proposes to also remove the airway
segment between the Cunningham VOR/DME and the Pocket City VORTAC due
to that airway segment overlapping both V-11 and V-305 that will remain
charted and provide navigational guidance between the two NAVAIDs. As
amended, the airway would be changed to extend between the Rosewood
VORTAC and the Flag City VORTAC.
V-97: V-97 currently extends between the Dolphin, FL, VORTAC and
the intersection of the Pecan, GA, VOR/DME 357[deg] and Vienna, GA,
VORTAC 300[deg] radials (PRATZ Fix); between the intersection of the
Rome, GA, VORTAC 060[deg] and Volunteer, TN, VORTAC 197[deg] radials
(NELLO Fix) and the intersection of the Chicago Heights, IL, VORTAC
358[deg] and DuPage, IL, VOR/DME 101[deg] radials (NILES Fix); and
between the Nodine, MN, VORTAC and the Gopher, MN, VORTAC. The airspace
below 2,000 feet mean sea level (MSL) outside the United States is
excluded. The FAA proposes to remove the airway segment between the
Lexington, KY, VOR/DME and the Shelbyville, IN, VOR/DME due to the
planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Cincinnati VORTAC.
Additionally, the FAA proposes to also remove the airway segment
between the Shelbyville VOR/DME and the Chicago Heights VORTAC due to
that airway segment overlapping V-51 that will remain charted and
provide navigational guidance between the two NAVAIDs. Lastly, the FAA
proposes to also remove the airway segment between the Chicago Heights
VORTAC and the intersection of the Chicago Heights VORTAC 358[deg] and
DuPage VOR/DME 101[deg] radials (NILES Fix) due to that airway segment
overlapping V-7 that will remain charted and provide navigational
guidance between the Chicago Heights VORTAC and the NILES Fix. As
amended, the airway would be changed to extend between the Dolphin
VORTAC and the Lexington VOR/DME and between the Nodine VORTAC and the
Gopher VORTAC.
V-128: V-128 currently extends between the Brickyard, IN, VORTAC
and the Casanova, VA, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment between the Brickyard VORTAC and the York, KY, VORTAC. As
amended, the airway would be changed to extend between the York VORTAC
and the Casanova VORTAC. Additional airway changes have been proposed
in a separate NPRM action.
V-275: V-275 currently extends between the Cincinnati, KY, VORTAC
and the intersection of the Dayton, OH, VOR/DME 007[deg] and Flag City,
OH, VORTAC 313[deg] radials (KLOEE Fix). The FAA proposes to remove the
airway segment between the Cincinnati VORTAC and the Dayton VOR/DME. As
amended, the airway would be changed to extend between the Dayton VOR/
DME and the intersection of the Dayton VOR/DME 007[deg] and Flag City
VORTAC 313[deg] radials (KLOEE Fix).
V-517: V-517 currently extends between the Snowbird, TN, VORTAC and
the Cincinnati, KY, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment between the Falmouth, KY, VOR/DME and the Cincinnati VORTAC. As
amended, the airway would be changed to extend between the Snowbird
VORTAC and the Falmouth VOR/DME.
T-315: T-315 currently extends between the JARLO, WV, WP and the
Burlington, VT, VORTAC. The FAA proposes to extend the route westward
from the JARLO WP to the Brickyard, IN, VORTAC. The route extension
would include the ILILE, OH, Fix that would be converted to a WP prior
to the planned decommissioning of the Cincinnati VOR. As amended, T-315
would be changed to extend between the Brickyard, IN, VORTAC and the
Burlington, VT, VORTAC and provide mitigation for the proposed V-128
airway segment removal. Additional
[[Page 77241]]
route changes have been proposed in a separate NPRM action. The full T-
315 route description is listed in the amendments to part 71 as set
forth below.
The NAVAID radials listed in the VOR Federal airway descriptions in
The Proposed Amendment section below are unchanged and stated in
degrees True north.
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 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.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
