This action modifies five VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airways in the vicinity of Stevens Point, WI. The FAA is taking this action due to the planned decommissioning of the Stevens Point, WI (STE), VHF Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) navigation aid (NAVAID) which provides navigation guidance for portions of the ATS routes amended by this action. This action will enhance the safe and efficient management of aircraft in the Stevens Point, WI, area.

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 National Airspace System (NAS) route 
structure as necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air 
traffic within the NAS.

History

    On February 27, 2017, the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) (82 FR 11857), Docket No. FAA-
2016-9374, to amend VOR Federal airways V-55, V-63, V-177, V-228, and 
V-246 due to the planned decommissioning of the Stevens Point, WI, 
VORTAC. Interested parties were invited to participate in this 
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. No 
comments were received.
    VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order 
7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15, 2016, which 
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The VOR Federal airways 
listed in this document will be subsequently published in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace Designations and 
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15, 
2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists Class A, 
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and 
reporting points.

Differences From the NPRM

    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to remove the V-177 airway segment 
between the Madison, WI (MAD), VOR/DME and the Wausau, WI (AUW), 
VORTAC. That proposed amendment incorrectly listed the intended 
Madison, WI, NAVAID with the identifier ``MAD'' and as a VOR/DME. 
However, the NAVAID identifier ``MAD'' identifies the Madison, CT, VOR/
DME. The correct identifier and NAVAID type for the intended Madison, 
WI, NAVAID is ``MSN'' and ``VORTAC''. The corrected V-177 amendment is 
to remove the airway segment between the Madison, WI (MSN), VORTAC and 
the Wausau, WI (AUW), VORTAC.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 to modify the descriptions of VOR Federal airways V-55, V-63, 
V-177, V-228, and V-246 due to the planned decommissioning of the 
Stevens Point, WI, VORTAC. The route changes are described below.
    V-55: V-55 extends between the Dayton, OH, VOR and the Bismarck, 
ND, VOR. The airway segment between the intersection of the Green Bay, 
WI, VORTAC 270[deg] and Oshkosh, WI, VORTAC 339[deg] radials (the BIPID 
fix) and the Eau Claire, WI, VORTAC is removed. The unaffected portions 
of the airway remain as charted.
    V-63: V-63 extends between the Bowie, TX, VORTAC and the Houghton, 
MI, VOR/DME. The airway segment between the Oshkosh, WI, VORTAC and the 
Wausau, WI, VORTAC is removed. The unaffected portions of the airway 
remain as charted.
    V-177: V-177 extends between the Joliet, IL, VORTAC and the Ely, 
MN, VOR/DME. The airway segment between the Madison, WI, VORTAC and

[[Page 28234]]

the Wausau, WI, VORTAC is removed. The unaffected portions of the 
airway remain as charted.
    V-228: V-228 extends between the Stevens Point, WI, VORTAC and the 
Gipper, MI, VORTAC. The airway segment between the Stevens Point, WI, 
VORTAC and the Dells, WI, VORTAC is removed. The unaffected portions of 
the airway remain as charted.
    V-246: V-246 extends between the Janesville, WI, VOR/DME and 
Stevens Point, WI, VORTAC. The airway segment between the intersection 
of the Nodine, MN, VORTAC 055[deg] and Eau Claire, WI, VORTAC 134[deg] 
radials (the MILTO fix) and the Stevens Point, WI, VORTAC is removed. 
The unaffected portions of the airway remain as charted.
    All radials in the route descriptions below are stated relative to 
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 
Department of Transportation (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 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

    The FAA has determined that this action of modifying five VOR 
Federal airways qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National 
Environmental Policy Act 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). As such, this action is not expected to cause 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 determined 
that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of 
an environmental assessment or environmental impact study.
