This action proposes to modify VOR Federal airways V-93, V- 314, V-471 and RNAV route T-295 in northeastern Maine due to the scheduled decommissioning of the Princeton, ME, VOR facility. After an analysis of the airway structure the FAA found that portions of the ATS routes around the Princeton, ME, VOR navaid, were rarely utilized and would be removed to further the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the National Airspace System.
