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.

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.

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

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.
