This action changes the effective date of a final rule published in the Federal Register on June 9, 2015, amending VOR Federal airways V-31, V-36, V-98, V-164 and V-252 in the northeastern United States. The FAA is taking this action to link the effective date of the airway amendments with the completion of the development of associated en route procedures. In addition, this action corrects the description of Federal airway V-36 by restoring certain segments of that route that were removed in the final rule.

Amendment of VOR Federal Airways; Northeastern United States

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective date, and correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action changes the effective date of a final rule 
published in the Federal Register on June 9, 2015, amending VOR Federal 
airways V-31, V-36, V-98, V-164 and V-252 in the northeastern United 
States. The FAA is taking this action to link the effective date of the 
airway amendments with the completion of the development of associated 
en route procedures. In addition, this action corrects the description 
of Federal airway V-36 by restoring certain segments of that route that 
were removed in the final rule.

DATES: The effective date of the final rule published on June 9, 2015, 
is delayed from August 20, 2015, to October 15, 2015. The Director of 
the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action 
under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 
and publication of conforming amendments.

ADDRESSES: FAA Order 7400.9Y, Airspace Designations and Reporting 
Points, and subsequent amendments can be viewed online at http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/. The Order is also available for 
inspection at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). 
For information on the availability of this material at NARA, call 
(202) 741-6030, or go to http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_federal-regulations/ibr_locations.html.
    FAA Order 7400.9, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is 
published yearly and effective on September 15. For further 
information, you can contact the Airspace Policy and Regulations Group,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    Docket No. FAA-2015-1650, Airspace Docket No. 14-AEA-8, published 
in the Federal Register on June 9 2015 (80 FR 32464), amends VOR 
Federal airways V-31, V-36, V-98, V-164 and V-252 by removing certain 
segments in Canadian airspace. The development of associated en route 
procedures are planned for October 15, 2015, therefore the rule 
amending these airways is delayed until that date.
    Additionally, subsequent to publication of the final rule, it was 
determined that an error was made in the description of Federal airway 
V-36, whereby the airway segments between Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, 
and the intersection of radials from the Wiarton, Ontario, Canada, and 
the Toronto, Ontario, Canada, navigation aids were inadvertently 
removed. This action corrects the description of V-36 by reinserting 
the missing airway segments.
    Domestic VOR Federal Airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of 
FAA Order 7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014, and effective September 15, 
2014, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The VOR 
Federal Airway listed in this document will be published subsequently 
in the Order.

Delay of Effective Date

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the 
effective

[[Page 48428]]

date of the final rule, Airspace Docket 14-AEA-8, as published in the 
Federal Register on June 9, 2015 (80 FR 32464), is hereby delayed until 
October 15, 2015.

Correction to Final Rule

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the 
description of VOR Federal airway V-36 as published in the Federal 
Register on June 9, 2015 (80 FR 32464) (FR Doc. 2015-13980) for Federal 
airway V-36, is corrected under the description for V-36 as follows:

Paragraph 6010(a) Domestic VOR Federal Airways

* * * * *

V-36 [Corrected]
