14 CFR Part 71 

[Docket No. FAA–2020–0709; Airspace 

Docket No. 20–AEA–2] 

RIN 2120–AA66 

Amendment of V–6, V–30, V–58, V–119, 

and V–226 in the Vicinity of Clarion, PA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends VHF 

Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal 

airways V–6, V–30, V–58, V–119, and 

V–226 in the vicinity of Clarion, PA. 

The VOR Federal airway modifications 

are necessary due to the planned 

decommissioning of the VOR portion of 

the Clarion, PA, VOR/Distance 

Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) 

navigation aid (NAVAID). The Clarion 

VOR/DME provides navigation guidance 

for portions of the affected ATS routes. 

The Clarion VOR is being 

decommissioned as part of the FAA’s 

VOR Minimum Operational Network 

(MON) program. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, 

February 25, 2021. The Director of the 

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under 

Title 1 Code of Federal Regulations part 

51, subject to the annual revision of 

FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

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 the 

route structure as necessary to preserve 

the safe and efficient flow of air traffic 

within the National Airspace System. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 

FAA–2020–0709 in the Federal Register 

(85 FR 49324; August 13, 2020), 

amending VOR Federal airways V–6, 

V–30, V–58, V–119, and V–226 in the 

vicinity of Clarion, PA. The proposed 

amendment actions were due to the 

planned decommissioning of the VOR 

portion of the Clarion, PA, VOR/DME. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal. No comments were received. 

VOR Federal airways are published in 

paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order 

7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and 

effective September 15, 2020, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The VOR Federal airways listed in 

this document will be subsequently 

published in the Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.11E, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, 

and effective September 15, 2020. FAA 

Order 7400.11E is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists 

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

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending Title 14 Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

by modifying VOR Federal airways 

V–6, V–30, V–58, V–119, and V–226. 

The planned decommissioning of the 

VOR portion of the Clarion, PA, VOR/ 

DME NAVAID has made this action 

necessary. The VOR Federal airway 

changes are outlined below. 

V–6: V–6 extends between the 

Oakland, CA, VOR/DME and the 

DuPage, IL, VOR/DME; between the 

intersection of the Chicago Heights, IL, 

VOR/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) 

358° and Gipper, MI, VORTAC 271° 

radials (NILES fix) and the intersection 

of the Gipper, MI, VORTAC 092° and 

Litchfield, MI, VOR/DME 196° radials 

(MODEM fix); and between the Clarion, 

PA, VOR/DME and the La Guardia, NY, 

VOR/DME. The airway segment 

overlying the Clarion, PA, VOR/DME 

between the Clarion, PA, VOR/DME and 

the Philipsburg, PA, VORTAC is 

removed. The unaffected portions of the 

existing airway remain as charted. 

V–30: V–30 extends between the 

Badger, WI, VOR/DME and the 

Litchfield, MI, VOR/DME; and between 

the Clarion, PA, VOR/DME and the 

Solberg, NJ, VOR/DME. The airway 

segment overlying the Clarion, PA, 

VOR/DME between the Clarion, PA, 

VOR/DME and the Philipsburg, PA, 

VORTAC is removed. The unaffected 

portions of the existing airway remain 

as charted. 

V–58: V–58 extends between the 

intersection of the Franklin, PA, VOR 

176° and Clarion, PA, VOR/DME 222° 

radials (GRACE fix) and the 

Williamsport, PA, VOR/DME; and 

between the intersection of the Sparta, 

NJ, VORTAC 018° and Kingston, NY, 

VOR/DME 270° radials (HELON fix) and 

the Nantucket, MA, VOR/DME. The 

airspace within R–4105 is excluded

79118 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 237 / Wednesday, December 9, 2020 / Rules and Regulations 

during times of use. The airway segment 

between the Franklin, PA, VOR 176° 

and Clarion, PA, VOR/DME 222° radials 

(GRACE fix) and the Philipsburg, PA, 

VORTAC is removed. Additionally, the 

restricted area exclusion language is 

removed also. The unaffected portions 

of the existing airway remain as charted. 

V–119: V–119 extends between the 

Henderson, WV, VORTAC and the 

Clarion, PA, VOR/DME. The airway 

segment overlying the Clarion, PA, 

VOR/DME between the Indian Head, 

PA, VORTAC and the Clarion, PA, VOR/ 

DME is removed. The unaffected 

portions of the existing airway remain 

as charted. 

V–226: V–226 extends between the 

intersection of the Franklin, PA, VOR 

175° and Clarion, PA, VOR/DME 222° 

radials (GRACE fix) and the Stillwater, 

NJ, VOR/DME. The airway segment 

overlying the Clarion, PA, VOR/DME 

between the intersection of the Franklin, 

PA, VOR 175° and Clarion, PA, VOR/ 

DME 222° radials (GRACE fix) and the 

Keating, PA, VORTAC is removed. The 

unaffected portions of the existing 

airway remain as charted. 

The NAVAID radials in the VOR 

Federal airway descriptions below are 

unchanged and stated in True degrees. 

FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on 

September 15. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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. 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 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 

The FAA has determined that this 

action of amending VOR Federal 

airways V–6, V–30, V–58, V–119, and 

V–226, due to the planned 

decommissioning of the VOR portion of 

the Clarion, PA, VOR/DME NAVAID, 

qualifies for categorical exclusion under 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

and its implementing regulations at 40 

CFR part 1500, and in accordance with 

FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures, 

paragraph 5–6.5a, which categorically 

excludes from further environmental 

impact review rulemaking actions that 

designate or modify classes of airspace 

areas, airways, routes, and reporting 

points (see 14 CFR part 71, Designation 

of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace 

Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes; and 

Reporting Points). As such, this action 

is not expected to result in any 

potentially significant environmental 

impacts. In accordance with FAA Order 

1050.1F, paragraph 5–2 regarding 

Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA 

has reviewed this action for factors and 

circumstances in which a normally 

categorically excluded action may have 

a significant environmental impact 

requiring further analysis. The FAA has 

determined that no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment or environmental impact 

study.
