**Proposed Amendment of Air Traffic Service (ATS) Routes; Northeast ME** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

**SUMMARY :**  This action proposes to modify VOR Federal airways V–93, V– 314, V–471 and RNAV route T–295 in northeastern Maine due to the scheduled decommissioning of the Princeton, ME, VOR facility. After an analysis of the airway structure the FAA found that portions of the ATS routes around the Princeton, ME, VOR navaid, were rarely utilized and would be removed to further the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the National Airspace System.

**DATES :**  Comments must be received on or before July 7, 2014.

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. The Proposal

The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to modify the descriptions of VOR Federal airways V– 93, V–314, V–471 and RNAV route T– 295 due to the planned decommissioning of the Princeton, ME, VOR.

An analysis of the airway structure around the Princeton VOR found that the airways are rarely utilized in that area. After coordination with Boston Air Route Traffic Control Center, Bangor Airport Traffic Control Tower, and Moncton Center (Canada), the FAA is proposing to remove the underutilized segments of the affected airways. The proposed changes are described below.

V–93 extends between Patuxent River, MD, and the intersection of the Princeton, ME, 157 ° radial and the United States/Canadian border. The FAA proposes to terminate the route at the Bangor, ME, VORTAC (BGR), eliminating the route segments between BGR and the United States/Canadian border.

V–314 extends from Quebec, PQ, Canada, through United States airspace, to St. John, NB, Canada. This proposal would terminate the route at Millinocket, ME, and eliminate the segments between Millinocket, Princeton, ME, and St. John, NB, Canada.

V–471 extends between the intersection of the Princeton, ME, 208 ° and the Bangor, ME, 132 ° radials (i.e., the charted BARHA fix) and the intersection of the Houlton, ME, 085 ° radial and the United States/Canadian border. This action would remove the route segment between the Bangor VORTAC and the BARHA fix.

T–295 extends between the LOUIE, MD, fix and the Princeton, ME, VOR/ DME. The amended route would terminate at Bangor, ME, eliminating the segment between Bangor and Princeton, ME.


### 29139 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 98 / Wednesday, May 21, 2014 / Proposed Rules

All radials in the route descriptions below are stated in True degrees.

VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010, and area navigation routes are published in paragraph 6011, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9X dated August 7, 2013, and effective September 15, 2013, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The VOR Federal airways and RNAV route listed in this document would be subsequently published 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 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 would amend the route structure as required to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the northeastern United States.

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. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
