SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Jkt 262001 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 modifies the Air Traffic Service (ATS) route structure as necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the National Airspace System. History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No. FAA–2023–2466 in the Federal Register (88 FR 88286; December 21, 2023), proposing to amend VOR Federal Airway V–220 and revoke VOR Federal Airways V–79 and V–380 due to the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Hastings, NE, VOR/DME NAVAID. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were received. Incorporation by Reference VOR Federal Airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) 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 amends the current version of that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11H, dated August 11, 2023, and effective September 15, 2023. FAA Order JO 7400.11H is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. These amendments will be published in the next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11. FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points. The Rule This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by amending VOR Federal Airway V–220 and revoking VOR Federal Airways V– 79 and V–380 due to the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Hastings, NE, VOR/DME. The airway actions are described below. V–79: Prior to this final rule, V–79 extended between the Hastings, NE, VOR/DME and the Lincoln, NE, VOR/ Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC). The airway is removed in its entirety. V–220: Prior to this final rule, V–220 extended between the Grand Junction, CO, VOR/DME and the Columbus, NE, VOR/DME. The airway segment between the Kearney, NE, VOR and the Columbus VOR/DME is removed. As amended, the airway is changed to now extend between the Grand Junction VOR/DME and the Kearney VOR. V–380: Prior to this final rule, V–380 extended between the Grand Island, NE, VOR/DME and the Mankato, KS, VORTAC. The airway is removed in its entirety. The NAVAID radials listed in the V– 220 description in the regulatory text of this final rule are unchanged and stated in degrees True north. Regulatory Notices and Analyses The FAA has determined that this 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 E:\FR\FM\07JNR1.SGM 07JNR1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 111 / Friday, June 7, 2024 / Rules and Regulations routine matter that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. Environmental Review The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5– 6.5a, which categorically excludes from further environmental impact review rulemaking actions that designate or modify classes of airspace areas, airways, routes, and reporting points (see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes; and Reporting Points); and paragraph 5–6.5i, which categorically excludes from further environmental impact review the establishment of new or revised air traffic control procedures conducted at 3,000 feet or more Above Ground Level (AGL); procedures conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do not cause traffic to be routinely routed over noise sensitive area; modifications to currently approved procedures conducted below 3,000 AGL that do not significantly increase noise over sensitive areas; and increases in minimum altitudes and landing minima. As such, this action is not expected to result in any potentially significant environmental impacts. In accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5–2 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed this action for factors and circumstances in which a normally categorically excluded action may have a significant environmental impact requiring further analysis. The FAA has determined that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment or environmental impact study. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1 The Amendment In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows: Jkt 262001 Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 106(g); 40103, 40113, 40120; E.O. 10854, 24 FR 9565, 3 CFR, 1959–1963 Comp., p. 389. § 71.1 [Amended] 2.

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 modifies the Air Traffic Service (ATS) route structure
as necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic
within the National Airspace System.

History

The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA-2023-2466 in the Federal Register (88 FR 88286; December 21, 2023),
proposing to amend VOR Federal Airway V-220 and revoke VOR Federal
Airways V-79 and V-380 due to the planned decommissioning of the VOR
portion of the Hastings, NE, VOR/DME NAVAID. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal. No comments were received.

Incorporation by Reference

VOR Federal Airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) 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 amends the current version of that order, FAA Order JO
7400.11H, dated August 11, 2023, and effective September 15, 2023. FAA
Order JO 7400.11H is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this document. These amendments will be published in the
next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11.
FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

The Rule

This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by amending VOR Federal Airway V-
220 and revoking VOR Federal Airways V-79 and V-380 due to the planned
decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Hastings, NE, VOR/DME. The
airway actions are described below.
V-79: Prior to this final rule, V-79 extended between the Hastings,
NE, VOR/DME and the Lincoln, NE, VOR/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC).
The airway is removed in its entirety.
V-220: Prior to this final rule, V-220 extended between the Grand
Junction, CO, VOR/DME and the Columbus, NE, VOR/DME. The airway segment
between the Kearney, NE, VOR and the Columbus VOR/DME is removed. As
amended, the airway is changed to now extend between the Grand Junction
VOR/DME and the Kearney VOR.
V-380: Prior to this final rule, V-380 extended between the Grand
Island, NE, VOR/DME and the Mankato, KS, VORTAC. The airway is removed
in its entirety.
The NAVAID radials listed in the V-220 description in the
regulatory text of this final rule are unchanged and stated in degrees
True north.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

The FAA has determined that this 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

[[Page 48507]]

routine matter that only affects air traffic procedures and air
navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321
et seq.) and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures, paragraph 5-6.5a, which categorically excludes from further
environmental impact review rulemaking actions that designate or modify
classes of airspace areas, airways, routes, and reporting points (see
14 CFR part 71, Designation of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas;
Air Traffic Service Routes; and Reporting Points); and paragraph 5-
6.5i, which categorically excludes from further environmental impact
review the establishment of new or revised air traffic control
procedures conducted at 3,000 feet or more Above Ground Level (AGL);
procedures conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do not cause traffic to
be routinely routed over noise sensitive area; modifications to
currently approved procedures conducted below 3,000 AGL that do not
significantly increase noise over sensitive areas; and increases in
minimum altitudes and landing minima. As such, this action is not
expected to result in any potentially significant environmental
impacts. In accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding
Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed this action for
factors and circumstances in which a normally categorically excluded
action may have a significant environmental impact requiring further
analysis. The FAA has determined that no extraordinary circumstances
exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment or
environmental impact study.
