airway descriptions are the names of the 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 11 / Tuesday, January 19, 2021 / Proposed Rules 5047 

VOR or VORTAC navigation facilities 

that form the route. This NPRM 

proposes changes to some VOR Federal 

airways having segments in Canadian 

airspace, and the extension of some 

Canadian RNAV routes into U.S. 

airspace. The FAA developed these 

proposed changes in cooperation with 

NAV CANADA (Canada’s civil air 

navigation services provider). 

The following section describes 

proposed VOR Federal airway changes. 

V–2: V–2 extends, in two parts, 

between Seattle, WA, and Nodine, MN; 

and between Buffalo, NY, and Gardner, 

MA. The FAA proposes to remove the 

sections between Buffalo and Gardner.

City, OH. Additional changes to other 

portions of the airway have been 

proposed in a separate NPRM. 

V–29: V–29 extends between Snow 

Hill, MD, and Massena, NY. This action 

would remove the sections between 

Watertown, NY, and Massena, NY. As 

amended, V–29 would extend between 

Snow Hill, MD, and Syracuse, NY. 

V–39: V–39 extends between 

Sandhills, SC, and Mont Joli, PQ, 

Canada. This action would remove the 

sections between Chester, MA, and 

Augusta, ME. As amended, V–39 would

the Sparta, NJ, 018°, and the Kingston, 

NY, 270° radials, and Bangor, ME. This 

action would remove the sections 

between Chester, MA, and Bangor, ME. 

The amended route would extend 

between Patuxent River, MD, and the 

intersection of the Barnes, MA, 265°, 

and the Chester, MA, 223° radials. 

V–106: V–106 consists of two parts: 

Between Johnstown, PA, and the 

intersection of the Wilkes-Barre, PA,

khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
5048 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 11 / Tuesday, January 19, 2021 / Proposed Rules 

T–608: T–608 is an existing Canadian 

route that was extended into U.S. 

airspace in 2014 (79 FR 57758, 

September 26, 2014). It currently 

extends between the HOCKE, MI, WP, 

through Canadian airspace, and ends at 

the WOZEE, NY, WP. This proposal 

would extend the route from the 

WOZEE WP eastward into U.S. airspace 

to the YANTC, CT, WP. The amended 

T–608 would overlie VOR Federal 

airway V–2 between the WOZEE, NY, 

WP and the Gardner, MA (GDM), 

VORTAC; and it would overlie V–14 

between the Albany, NY (ALB), 

VORTAC and the YANTC, CT, WP. The 

YANTC, CT, WP replaces the Norwich, 

CT (ORW), VOR/DME. The LAMMS, 

NY, WP replaces the Utica, NY (UCA), 

VORTAC. As amended, T–608 would 

extend from the HOCKE, MI, WP, 

through Canadian airspace, to the 

WOZEE, NY, WP; and from the WOZEE 

WP, to the YANCT WP. The order of 

points listed in the route description is 

changed to read from ‘‘west to east’’ to 

comply with formatting requirements. 

T–634: T–634 is an existing Canadian 

route that the FAA proposes to extend 

into U.S. airspace. The route currently 

ends at the VIBRU, Canada, WP 

(adjacent to the U.S./Canadian border). 

The VIBRU WP will be moved 0.55NM 

to the south of its current position to 

align it with the U.S./Canada border. It 

will be re-labled as ‘‘VIBRU, NY.’’ The 

FAA proposes to extend T–634 into U.S. 

airspace between the Syracuse, NY, 

VORTAC, and the VIBRU, NY, WP. The 

extended portion of the route would 

replace VOR Federal airway V–145 as 

described above. 

T–662: T–662 is a Canadian route that 

would be extended into U.S. airspace 

between the DEPRI, ME, WP, and the 

HULTN, ME, WP. The HULTN WP 

would replace the Houlton, ME (HUL) 

VOR/DME. It is located 60 feet east of 

the Houlton VOR/DME. T–662 would 

extend across Maine from the DEPIR WP 

to the KATAH, ME, WP, to the HULTN, 

ME, WP. T–662 would replace VOR 

Federal airway V–352 as described 

above. 

T–698: T–698 is a Canadian route that 

would be extended to cross the State of 

Maine from the EBGIX, ME, WP, to the 

HULTN, ME, WP, to the ACTON, ME, 

WP. The EBGIX WP is being moved 

1.16NM east to coincide with the U.S./ 

Canada border in western Maine. The 

ACTON WP is a new point to be added 

on the U.S./Canada border to the 

southeast of the Houlton, ME (HUL) 

VOR/DME. 

T–705: T–705 is an existing Canadian 

route that was extended into U.S. 

airspace, between the U.S./Canadian 

border, and the Utica, NY, VORTAC, in 

2018 (83 FR 31855, July 10, 2018). This 

proposal would extend T–705 further 

southward to the DANZI, NY, WP (near 

the Delancey, NY, VOR/DME). The 

Utica, NY, VORTAC, and the Saranac 

Lake, NY, VOR/DME would be removed 

from the route. The new LAMMS, NY, 

WP would replace the Utica VORTAC, 

and the new SRACK, NY, WP would 

replace the Saranac Lake VOR/DME in 

the route description. The MUTNA, 

Canada, WP would be moved 0.79NM 

southward to align with the U.S./ 

Canada border. It would be re-labled as 

‘‘MUTNA, NY.’’ As amended, the U.S. 

portion of T–705 would extend between 

the DANZI, NY, WP and MUTNA, NY, 

WP at the U.S./Canadian border. 

T–781: T–781 is a Canadian route that 

was extended into U.S. airspace in 2014 

(79 FR 57758, September 26, 2014). 

Currently, the U.S. portion of the route 

extends from the Flint, MI, VORTAC, 

eastward to the AXOBU, Canada, WP (in 

the vicinity of the U.S./Canadian border 

near Port Huron, MI). T–781 then 

continues eastward across Canada and 

terminates at the PINTE, Canada Fix (on 

the U.S./Canadian border). The PINTE 

Fix would be moved 0.07 NM east to the 

U.S./Canada border and would be 

converted to a WP. This proposal would 

extend T–781 eastward from the PINTE, 

ME, WP to terminate at the HULTN, ME 

WP. As amended, the U.S. portion of T– 

781 would extend between the Flint, 

MI, VORTAC, and the AXOBU, Canada, 

Fix; and between the PINTE, ME, WP, 

and the HULTN, ME, WP. 

The following section describes 

proposed changes to Canadian high 

altitude RNAV routes. 

Q–806: Q–806 is a Canadian route that 

was extended into U.S. airspace in 2014 

(79 FR 57758, September 26, 2014). The 

U.S. portion currently extends from the 

MEKSO, Canada, WP, eastward through 

the Millinocket, ME, VOR/DME, to the 

CANME, ME, WP, and the VOGET, 

Canada, WP. Canada is realigning Q– 

806 by shifting the route segment from 

the MEKSO, Canada, WP, southward to 

the VINDI, Canada, WP. The VINDI WP 

would be moved 0.13NM eastward to 

align with the U.S./Canada border and 

listed as ‘‘VINDI, ME.’’ Consequently, 

this proposal would remove the route 

segment between the MEKSO WP and 

the Millinocket, ME, VOR/DME, and 

add the segment between the VINDI, 

ME, WP, and the Millinocket VOR/ 

DME. The VIGDU, Canada, WP would 

be moved 0.50NM westward to align 

with the U.S./Canada border and listed 

as ‘‘VIGDU, ME.’’ The VIGDU, ME, WP 

added east of the CANME, ME, WP. As 

amended, the U.S. portion of Q–806 

would extend from the VINDI, ME, WP, 

eastward to the Millinocket, ME, VOR/ 

DME, to the CANME, ME, WP, to the 

VIGDU, ME, WP. 

Q–864: Q–864 is an existing Canadian 

route that the FAA proposes to extend 

into U.S. airspace across northern 

Maine. The route currently ends at the 

EBGIX, Canada, WP (at the U.S./ 

Canadian border in western Maine). 

This action would extend the route 

eastward from EBGIX, across the State 

of Maine, running north of the 

Millinocket, ME, VOR/DME, to the 

TUGUB, Canada, WP (located southeast 

of the Houlton, ME, VOR/DME) where 

it would rejoin the remainder of Q–864 

into Canada. The EBGIX WP would be 

moved 1.16NM eastward to align with 

the U.S./Canadian border, and the 

TUGUB WP would be moved 1.23NM 

west to align with the U.S./Canada 

border. The amended Q–864 would 

extend between the EBGIX, ME, WP, 

and the TUGUB, ME, WP. 

The proposed full descriptions of the 

above route changes are found in ‘‘The 

Proposed Amendment’’ section of this 

NPRM. 

Domestic VOR Federal airways are 

published in paragraph 6010(a); United 

States area navigation routes are

6013; respectively, of FAA Order 

7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and 

effective September 15, 2020, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR

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

14 CFR Parts 241 and 298 

[Docket No. DOT–OST–2018–0132] 

RIN 2105–AE45 

Updates to the Origin—Destination 

Survey of Airline Passengers 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of 

Transportation (OST), U.S. Department 

of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The Department is proposing 

to update the method of collecting and 

processing aviation traffic data in the 

Origin-Destination Survey of Airline 

Passenger Traffic (O&D Survey), as well 

as to expand the number of reporting air 

carriers, the sample size collected, and 

the scope of the data reported. These 

changes would align the current O&D 

Survey with modern industry business 

and accounting practices, enable cost 

savings, reduce burden through 

automation, and provide enhanced 

utility for users of the data. In addition, 

DOT is proposing to change the timing 

of the release of the Form 41, Schedule 

T–100(f) ‘‘Foreign Air Carrier Traffic 

Data by Nonstop Segment and On-flight 

Market’’ from a 6-month delay to a 3- 

month delay to match that of Form 41, 

Schedule T–100 ‘‘Air Carrier Traffic and 

Capacity Data by Non-Stop Segment and 

On-Flight Market.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

A. Legal Authority 

Section 429(b)(1) of Title 49, U.S.C., 

requires the Department to collect and 

disseminate information on the origin 

and destination of airline passengers 

including, at a minimum, information 

on: (1) The origin and destination of 

passengers in interstate air 

transportation, and (2) the number of 

passengers traveling by air between any 

two points in interstate air 

transportation. In addition, 49 U.S.C. 

40101(a)(7) states that the Secretary 

shall respond to the needs of the public, 

including the airline industry, all levels 

of government, and airports, by 

disseminating information to foster a 

national air transportation system 

capable of meeting the present and 

future needs of U.S. commerce. In 

fulfillment of these responsibilities, 

DOT collects data submitted under: 

• 14 CFR part 217: Reporting Traffic 

Statistics by Foreign Air Carriers in 

Civilian Scheduled, Charter, and 

Nonscheduled Services, whereby 

foreign air carriers that are authorized 

by DOT to provide scheduled passenger 

services to or from the U.S. must file 

Form 41 Schedule T–100(f), 

accumulated in accordance with the 

data elements prescribed in § 217.5. 

• 14 CFR part 241: Uniform System of 

Accounts and Reports for Large 

Certificated Air Carriers, under which 

all large certificated air carriers must 

report their traffic movements by filing 

Form 41 Schedule T–100, Financials 

Information, and O&D fare information. 

• 14 CFR part 298: Exemptions for 

Air Taxi and Commuter Air Carriers, 

whereby air taxi operators and 

commuter air carriers, which are 

provided certain exemptions from some 

of the economic regulatory provisions of 

Subtitle VII of Title 49 of the United 

States Code, are required to submit 

simplified Financials and T–100 traffic. 

In this rulemaking, the Department 

proposes to update its method of 

collecting and processing O&D fare 

information under part 241 to: (1) Allow 

full automation of the reporting of the 

O&D Survey by aligning it with current 

airline passenger accounting practices; 

and (2) enhance the accuracy and 

usefulness of DOT’s collection of 

aviation traffic data. 

B. Background on the O&D Survey 

Currently, the O&D Survey, as 

outlined in 14 CFR part 241, Sec. 19– 

7, collects airline tickets from select air 

carriers,1 ‘‘O&D Survey Reporting 

Carriers,’’ each quarter. The O&D Survey 

Reporting Carriers combine the 

information from tickets with the same 

itinerary and price into a summary 

record reported every 3 months. Under 

49 U.S.C. 329(b)(1), the Department is 

obligated to collect and disseminate this 

information. There are many private and 

public stakeholders that depend on this 

data to make decisions on aviation 

business and policy. For example, this 

data is used by the industry to plan air 

services, develop commercial aviation
