Department of Transportation December 6, 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This action amends Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airway V-216 and revokes VOR Federal Airways V-549 and V- 551. VOR Federal Airway V-380 was revoked by a separate airspace docket and is removed from this action. The FAA is taking this action due to the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Mankato, KS (TKO), VOR/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) navigational aid (NAVAID). The Mankato VOR is being decommissioned in support of the FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) program.

This action amends United States Area Navigation (RNAV) Routes Q-117 and Q-135 by changing the name of the "CUDLE", NC, waypoint (WP) to "RREGG". The FAA is taking this action due to a similarly pronounced and sounding route point (KALDA, VA) located 186 nautical miles (NM) northeast of the CUDLE WP. This action is an administrative change and does not affect the airspace boundaries or operating requirements.

The Maritime Administration (MARAD) invites public comments on our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The proposed collection OMB 2133-0541 (United States Marine Highway Program) (also known as America's Marine Highway Program) will be used to evaluate and review applications being submitted for grant award consideration. This collection was initially discontinued on August 28, 2023, due to the elimination of the project designation application for this program from the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023. However, in order to facilitate the operation of the United States Marine Highway Program Grant Program (the Program), which provides funding to develop, expand, or promote marine highway transportation or shipper use of marine highway transportation, this collection is being reinstated. We are required to publish this notice in the Federal Register to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies.
