Proposed Modification of VOR Federal 

Airway V–345 in the Vicinity of 

Ashland, WI 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

modify the legal description of VHF 

Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal 

airway V–345 in the vicinity of 

Ashland, WI. The Ashland (ASX) VOR 

Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/ 

DME) navigation aid, which forms the 

northern most point of the airway, has 

been out of service for over ten months, 

with a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) 

published, and is scheduled to be 

decommissioned in 2013. The FAA is 

proposing this action to remove that 

portion of V–345 affected by the loss of 

service by the Ashland, WI, VOR/DME. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before May 10, 2013.

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 

description of VOR Federal airway V– 

345 in the vicinity of Ashland, WI. This 

action is necessary because the Ashland, 

WI, VOR/DME, which serves as the 

northern endpoint of the airway, has 

been out of service for over ten months 

and is scheduled to be decommissioned 

in 2013. The proposed change would 

end the airway at the Haywood, WI, 

VOR/DME by removing the airway 

segment between the Haywood, WI, 

VOR/DME and the Ashland, WI, VOR/ 

DME navigation aids. 

VOR Federal airways are published in 

paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order 

7400.9W signed August 8, 2012 and 

effective September 15, 2012, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The VOR Federal airway 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 modifies VOR Federal airway V–345 

in the vicinity of Ashland, WI. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission is reopening the comment 

period for its January 9, 2013 (78 FR 

1779) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM) until April 1, 2013. In the 

NPRM, the Commission proposed to 

amend the Energy Labeling Rule 

(‘‘Rule’’) (16 CFR part 305) by updating 

ranges of comparability and unit energy 

cost figures for many EnergyGuide 

labels. The Commission also sought 

comment on a proposed exemption 

request by the Association of Home 

Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) to 

help consumers compare the labels on 

refrigerators and clothes washers after 

the implementation of upcoming 

changes to the Department of Energy 

test procedures for those products. On 

March 7, 2013, the California Investor 

Owned Utilities (CA IOUs), citing 

unforeseeable circumstances that 

prevented the group from filing 

comments by the March 1, 2013 

deadline, petitioned the Commission to 

reopen the comment period for the 

Proposed Rule for the Appliance 

Labeling Rule. In response, the 

Commission reopens the comment 

period to April 1, 2013. This action is 

reasonable for it will help ensure a full 

record in the proceeding and should not 

unduly delay this proceeding. 

Interested parties are invited to 

submit written comments electronically 

or in paper form. Comments should 

refer to ‘‘Energy Label Ranges, Matter 

No. R611004’’ to facilitate the 

organization of comments. Please note 

that your comment, including your 

name and your state, will be placed on 

the public record of this proceeding, 

including on the publicly accessible 

FTC Web site, at http://www.ftc.gov/os/ 

publiccomments.shtm. 

Because comments will be made 

public, they should not include any 

sensitive personal information, such as 

any individual’s Social Security 

Number; date of birth; driver’s license 

number or other state identification 

number, or foreign country equivalent; 

passport number; financial account 

number; or credit or debit card number. 

Comments also should not include any 

sensitive health information, such as 

medical records or other individually 

identifiable health information. In 

addition, comments should not include 

trade secret or any commercial or 

financial information which is obtained 

from any person and which is privileged 

or confidential as provided in Section 

6(f) of the Federal Trade Commission 

Act (FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 46(f)), and FTC 

Rule 4.10(a)(2) (16 CFR 4.10(a)(2)). 

Comments containing matter for which 

confidential treatment is requested must 

be filed in paper form, must be clearly 

labeled Confidential, and must comply 

with FTC Rule 4.9(c).

FTC is subject to delay due to 

heightened security screening, please 

consider submitting your comments in 

electronic form. Comments filed in 

electronic form should be submitted 

using the following weblink: https://
