Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 13, 2018, and effective 

September 15, 2018. FAA Order 

7400.11C is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11C lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 to remove jet route J– 

174 due to the planned 

decommissioning of the Greenbrier, 

WV, VOR/DME which provides 

navigation guidance for segments of the 

route. J–147 currently extends between 

the Beckley, WV, VOR/DME and the 

Casanova, VA, VORTAC. Alternative 

routing through the area is available by 

using the adjacent jet routes J–42 or J– 

213. 

Jet routes are published in paragraph 

2004 of FAA Order 7400.11C dated 

August 13, 2018, and effective 

September 15, 2018, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The jet route listed in this 

document would be subsequently 

removed from the Order. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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. It, 

therefore: (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. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 13, 2018 and effective 

September 15, 2018. FAA Order 

7400.11C is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.11C 

lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace 

areas, air traffic service routes, and 

reporting points. 

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– 

115, V–184, V–188 and V–542, due to 

the planned decommissioning of the 

Tidioute, PA, VORTAC. The proposed 

route changes are described below. 

V–115: V–115 currently extends 

between the Crestview, FL, VORTAC 

and the Buffalo, NY, VOR/DME. The 

proposed change would remove the 

segments between the Franklin, PA, 

VOR and the Buffalo VORTAC. The 

amended route would extend between 

Crestview, FL and Franklin, PA. 

V–184: V–184 currently extends 

between the Erie, PA, VORTAC and the 

intersection of radials from the 

Kennedy, NY, VOR/DME and the 

Robbinsville, NJ, VORTAC. The 

proposed change would remove the 

segments between the Erie, PA, 

VORTAC and the Philipsburg, PA, 

VORTAC. The amended route would 

extend between Philipsburg, PA, and 

the intersection of radials from the 

Kennedy, NY, VOR/DME and the 

Robbinsville, NJ, VORTAC. 

V–188: V–188 currently extends 

between the Tidioute, PA, VORTAC and 

the Groton, CT, VOR/DME. The 

proposed change would remove the 

segment between the Tidioute VORTAC 

and the Slate Run, PA, VORTAC. The 

amended route would extend between 

Slate Run, PA, and Groton, CT, as 

currently charted. 

V–542: V–542 currently extends 

between the Tidioute, PA, VORTAC and 

the Lebanon, NH, VOR/DME. The 

proposed change would remove the 

segments between the Tidioute 

VORTAC and the Elmira, NY, VOR/ 

DME. The amended route would extend 

between Elmira, NY, and Lebanon, NH, 

as currently charted. 

Domestic VOR Federal airways are 

published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA 

Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018, 

and effective September 15, 2018, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The VOR Federal airways listed in 

this document would be subsequently 

published in the Order. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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. It, 

therefore: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant

Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034;

warrant preparation of a regulatory

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this proposed rule, when
