Persons interested in being placed on 

a mailing list for future NPRMs should 

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, 

(202) 267–9677, for a copy of Advisory 

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

Background 

The Anchorage VOR, located on Fire 

Island, is one of the navigation aids 

used to form points along numerous 

Federal airways in Alaska. Due to 

construction of wind turbines on Fire 

Island, AK, the Anchorage VOR is being 

relocated to Ted Stevens Anchorage 

International Airport and renamed. In 

addition, the equipment is being 

upgraded to a DOPPLER VOR/distance 

measuring equipment (VOR/DME) 

facility that would improve coverage 

and reliability. Due to the relocation, the 

published radials from the old 

Anchorage VOR/DME, as used in each 

route description, will change by several 

degrees. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 to amend Federal 

airways that currently use the 

Anchorage (ANC) VOR located on Fire 

Island, AK. The ANC VOR is being 

upgraded to a Doppler VOR and 

redesignated as the Anchorage (TED) 

VOR. The Doppler VOR will be located 

on the Ted Stevens Anchorage 

International Airport property. This 

action would affect 15 Low Altitude 

Federal airways (Victor Airways and 

T–Routes), and 14 High Altitude Federal 

airways (Jet Routes and Q–Routes). In 

addition to these airways using the TED 

VOR as the new reference point, the 

descriptions would be adjusted, where 

necessary, to show new radials to 

describe airway intersections. 

VOR Federal airways, United States 

Area Navigation Routes (low), Jet 

Routes, Alaska Area Navigation Routes, 

and United States Area Navigation 

Routes (high), are published in 

paragraphs 6010, 6011, 2004, 2005, and 

2006, respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010 and 

effective September 15, 2010, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Federal Airways listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. 

Therefore, this proposed regulation: 

(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 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with PROPOSALS

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 43 / Friday, March 4, 2011 / Proposed Rules 11979 

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 proposed 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. 

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 amends Federal airways in Alaska. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures,’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

Stakeholder Input: Listening Session 

to Provide Information and Solicit 

Suggestions for Regulations 

Forthcoming Under the Clean Water 

Act 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of listening sessions. 

SUMMARY: The EPA is today announcing 

plans to hold ‘‘listening sessions’’ on 

March 18 and April 29, 2011, to provide 

information about the Clean Boating Act 

(CBA), and to gather recommendations 

from the public for forthcoming 

regulation of recreational vessels under 

the Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 

312(o). The listening sessions will be 

held in Annapolis, MD. EPA may hold 

additional listening sessions in other 

locations if there is sufficient interest.
