airway legal descriptions in the State of 

Hawaii. The FAA is taking this action to 

remove exclusions to restricted airspace 

areas that have been removed from the 

National Airspace System (NAS). 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, March 

10, 2011. The Director of the Federal

reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order 7400.9 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

The FAA Honolulu Control Facility 

conducted a review of the facility 

airspace areas and found that two 

Federal Airways, V–2 and V–21, 

contained exclusions to restricted 

airspace that was removed from the 

NAS several years ago. Accordingly, 

since this is an administrative change 

and does not involve a change in the 

boundaries, altitudes or operating 

procedures of this airspace, notice and 

public procedure under Title 5 U.S.C. 

553(b) are unnecessary. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

amending two VOR Federal Airways, 

V–2 and V–21, located in the State of 

Hawaii by removing all references to 

Restricted Area R–3104A and R–3104B 

from the legal descriptions. 

Hawaiian VOR Federal Airways are 

listed in paragraph 6010(c) 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 revised subsequently 

in the Order. 

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. Therefore, this 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 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. 

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 two VOR Federal airways in 

Hawaii. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with 311a, 

FAA Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures.’’ This 

airspace action is not expected to cause 

any potentially significant 

environmental impacts, and no 

extraordinary circumstances exist that 

warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

In a final rule published in the 

Federal Register July 8, 2010 (75 FR 

39148) Airspace Docket No. 09–ANM– 

25, the airspace description for the 

Lucin VORTAC, Lucin, UT, incorrectly 

referenced the existing Class E en route 

domestic airspace exclusion above 8,500 

feet MSL. As written, the wording may 

cause confusion as to the exclusion of 

the existing controlled airspace at 8,500 

feet MSL. It should read 8,500 feet and 

above MSL. 

The FAA’s Aeronautical Products 

office correctly charted the airspace and 

requested the correction be made. 

Accordingly, since this is an 

administrative change, and does not 

involve a change in the dimensions, 

altitudes, or operating requirements of 

that airspace, notice and public 

procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are 

unnecessary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

The FAA was notified November 30, 

2010, that Canadian Authorities had 

removed the BORAN intersection and 

established the TOVAD intersection as a 

compulsory reporting point on the U.S./ 

Canada border effective November 18, 

2010. This action is in response to those 

changes. Accordingly, since this is an 

administrative change and does not 

affect the boundaries, altitudes, or 

operating requirements of the airspace, 

notice and public procedures under 

Title 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. 

The Rule 

The FAA amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

removing the BORAN reporting point 

and establishing the TOVAD 

Compulsory Reporting Point on the 

U.S./Canadian border. 

Alaskan High Altitude Reporting 

Points are listed in paragraph 7005 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 Reporting Points listed in 

this document will be revised 

subsequently in the Order. 

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. Therefore, this 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 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.

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 High Altitude Compulsory 

Reporting Points in Alaska.

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with 311a,
