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. Comments Invited The FAA invites interested persons to 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.

An informal docket may also be examined during normal business hours at the office of the Operations Support Group, Central Service Center, Federal Aviation Administration, 10101 Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177. 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. Environmental Review ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1 SUMMARY: I. Table of Abbreviations CFR Code of Federal Regulations VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:04 Nov 08, 2023 Jkt 262001 DHS Department of Homeland Security FR Federal Register 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 E:\FR\FM\09NOP1.SGM 09NOP1

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.
