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

[[Page 13405]]

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation 
is within the scope of that authority as it modifies the NAS route 
structure as necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air 
traffic within the NAS.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the 
Federal Register for Docket No. FAA-2016-9555 (82 FR 11859; February 
27, 2017). The NPRM proposed to amend and remove multiple VHF 
Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airways in northcentral United 
States to reflect and accommodate route changes being made as part of 
the FAA's Cleveland/Detroit Metroplex Project airspace redesign effort. 
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were 
received.
    Subsequent to publication of the NPRM, the FAA initiated a project 
for decommissioning the Tiverton, OH, VOR/DME due to the land-lease for 
the navigation aid expiring and not being renewed. With the planned 
decommissioning of the Tiverton VOR/DME, several of the Federal airways 
proposed for amendment in the NPRM were impacted and required 
additional amendment. Additionally, NAV CANADA amended one of the 
Federal airways proposed for amendment in the NPRM that crosses into 
Canada's airspace. That NAV CANADA amendment required the FAA to adjust 
the proposed amendment to the airway. Lastly, the FAA reviewed the 
airway amendments proposed in the NPRM and the Cleveland/Detroit 
Metroplex project redesign and determined the two activities were in 
fact independent of each other and not connected. The airway amendments 
proposed in the NPRM support the FAA's NextGen efforts to safely 
improve the overall efficiency of the NAS.
    Since several airway amendments proposed in the NPRM required 
further amendment due to the decommissioning of Tiverton VOR/DME and 
NAV CANADA's amendment to one of the airways, and the NPRM 
characterization required clarification that the airway amendments 
proposed in the NPRM in fact supported the FAA's NextGen efforts 
independent from the FAA's Cleveland/Detroit Metroplex project 
activities, the FAA determined it was necessary to supplement the 
proposal and reopen the comment period to provide additional 
opportunity for public comment.
    The FAA therefore published a supplemental notice of proposed 
rulemaking (SNPRM) in the Federal Register for Docket No. FAA-2016-9555 
(82 FR 35918; August 2, 2017). The SNPRM proposed to amend three VOR 
Federal airways in northcentral United States to reflect additional 
amendments required by the planned decommissioning of the Tiverton VOR/
DME navigation aid and amend one VOR Federal airway to reflect NAV 
CANADA's additional amendment to the airway within Canada's airspace. 
The remaining VOR Federal airway amendments and removals proposed in 
the NPRM published in the Federal Register (82 FR 11859, February 27, 
2017) were unchanged. The SNPRM also clarified the FAA was undertaking 
this action in support of its NextGen efforts to safely improve the 
overall efficiency of the NAS. Interested parties were invited to 
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on 
the proposal. One comment was received.

Discussion of Comment

    The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) contended that, 
for those VOR NAVAIDs that are to be decommissioned, and for those 
airways that are correspondingly removed, the FAA should create an RNAV 
waypoint at the previous NAVAID location and retain all fixes and 
intersections along that route by amending their definition to that of 
an RNAV waypoint. Their concern was that with the removal of much of 
the route structure and their defining fixes, there would be a gap in 
how pilots could navigate through the area and how they communicate 
their planned route of flight to air traffic control unless a waypoint 
system remained.
    As addressed in the NPRM, and supported in AOPA's comment, the FAA 
is retaining the current fixes contained within the airspace area 
affected by this action and converting them into RNAV waypoints that 
will remain in place to assist pilots and air traffic controllers 
already familiar with them, for navigation purposes. Additionally, the 
FAA is establishing a waypoint within the immediate vicinity of the 
Tiverton VOR/DME location (60 feet) to further assist pilots navigating 
through the airspace affected by the Tiverton VOR/DME being 
decommissioned.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace Designations and 
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15, 
2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists Class A, 
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and 
reporting points.

Difference From NPRM and SNPRM

    The amendment to V-14 is revised to remove the airway segment 
between the Flag City, OH, VORTAC and the Erie, PA, VORTAC. The airway 
segment between the Erie, PA, VORTAC and Dunkirk, NY, VOR/DME that was 
proposed to be removed, and the airway segment between the Dunkirk, NY, 
VOR/DME and Buffalo, NY, VOR/DME that was proposed to be retained, were 
removed in a separate rulemaking action (16-AEA-11) published in the 
Federal Register (82 FR 26987, June 13, 2017) Docket No. FAA-2017-0107.
    The amendment to V-464 is revised to remove the airway in its 
entirety. The airway segment between the Aylmer, ON, Canada, VOR/DME 
and Geneseo, NY, VOR/DME that was proposed to be retained, was removed 
in a separate rulemaking action (16-AEA-11) published in the Federal 
Register (82 FR 26987, June 13, 2017) Docket No. FAA-2017-0107.
    The amendment to V-522 remains to remove the airway in its 
entirety. However, the airway was amended in a separate rulemaking 
action (16-AEA-11) published in the Federal Register (82 FR 26987, June 
13, 2017) Docket No. FAA-2017-0107. The existing airway to be removed 
extends between the Dryer, OH, VOR/DME and Erie, PA, VORTAC.
    Lastly, minor editorial corrections have been made to a few of the 
airway descriptions for standardization. These corrections include 
removing the word ``via'' when used between the first and second airway 
points listed and changing punctuation (commas to semi-colons) between 
airway points contained in the descriptions. With the exception of the 
above noted changes and minor editorial corrections, this rule is the 
same as that published in the NPRM and SNPRM.

    VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order 
7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15, 2017, which 
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The VOR Federal airways

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 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 amending and removing 
multiple VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airways in 
northcentral United States qualifies for categorical exclusion under 
the National Environmental Policy Act and its agency-specific 
implementing regulations in FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: 
Policies and Procedures'' regarding categorical exclusions for 
procedural actions at paragraph 5-6.5a, which categorically excludes 
from full environmental impact review rulemaking actions that designate 
or modify classes of airspace areas, airways, routes, and reporting 
points. Therefore, this airspace action is not expected to result in 
any significant environmental impacts. In accordance with FAA Order 
1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, this 
action has been reviewed for factors and circumstances in which a 
normally categorically excluded action may have a significant 
environmental impact requiring further analysis, and it is determined 
that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of 
an environmental assessment.
