SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On January 24, 2012, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to 

modify certain VOR Federal airways 


rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 66 / Thursday, April 5, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 20529 

and establish RNAV routes in the 

vicinity of Windsor Locks, CT, due to 

the planned decommissioning of the 

Bradley VORTAC (77 FR 3415). 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal. One comment was received 

from the Aircraft Owners and Pilots 

Association which expressed support 

for the proposal. 

Differences From NPRM 

Since publication of the NPRM, 

Canada put into effect a reconfiguration 

of airway structure that affects the 

segment of V–203 that lies within 

Canadian airspace. Currently, that 

segment extends between the Massena, 

NY, 047° radial and the Montreal, 

Canada, 188° radial, to Montreal. Due to 

the reconfiguration, V–203 no longer 

terminates at Montreal. The new 

termination point is the FRANX fix, 

which is defined by the intersection of 

the Massena, NY, 047° and the St Jean, 

Canada 270° radials. This change lies 

entirely within Canadian airspace. 

A number of points were removed 

from the descriptions of T–212, T–255 

and T–300 because the points are not 

needed to form the alignment of the 

routes. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulation (14 CFR) part 71 by 

modifying VOR Federal airways V–130, 

V–203, V–405 and V–419; revoking V– 

205; and establishes RNAV routes T– 

212, T–255, and T–300. These changes 

are required due to the planned 

decommissioning of the Bradley 

VORTAC in 2012. 

V–130, currently extending from the 

Albany, NY, VORTAC, through the 

Bradley VORTAC, to the Martha’s 

Vineyard, MA, VOR/DME, this action is 

modified by eliminating the segment 

that extends from the Albany, NY, 

VORTAC, to the Bradley VORTAC, to 

the Norwich, CT, VOR/DME. The 

modified V–130 originates at the 

Norwich VOR/DME and follows the 

existing route to the Martha’s Vineyard, 

MA, VOR/DME. 

V–203 is extended to encompass a 

part of V–130 that is being removed as 

described above. V–203 currently begins 

at the Albany, NY, VORTAC and ends 

at the Montreal, Canada, VOR/DME. The 

extended segment of V–203 runs 

southeast from the Albany VORTAC to 

the existing STELA intersection (formed 

by the intersection of the Albany 134° 

and the Chester, MA, VOR/DME 266° 

radials). At that point, flights may link 

with other VOR Federal airways. In 

addition, the termination point of V–203 

is modified to match the Canadian 

airway changes (noted above), and now 

terminates at the FRANX fix, located in 

Canadian airspace, instead of the 

Montreal VOR/DME. 

V–205 is removed in its entirety 

because other existing airways are 

available that provide for navigation to 

and from Putnam (V–205 currently 

extends from the COATE intersection 8 

NM northwest of the Sparta, NJ, 

VORTAC to the Putnam, CT, VOR/ 

DME.) In addition, a new RNAV route 

(T–212) overlies part of the V–205 route 

and terminates at Putnam. 

V–405 is realigned to bypass the 

Bradley VORTAC and is routed through 

the Barnes, MA, VORTAC (located 

approximately 13 NM north of Bradley). 

The airway then proceeds through the 

Putnam, CT, VOR/DME to the 

Providence, RI, VORTAC and resumes 

the currently published route to 

Martha’s Vineyard, MA. 

V–419, currently extending between 

the Westminster, MD, VORTAC, and the 

Boston, MA, VOR/DME, now extends 

between Westminster, MD and the 

existing BRISS intersection (formed by 

the intersection of the Carmel, NY, 

VOR/DME 045° and the Madison, CT, 

328° radials). The route segments 

between the BRISS intersection and 

Boston are eliminated. Alternative 

routing to Boston is available using 

other existing airways and/or via the 

new RNAV routes. 

The FAA is also establishing three 

new RNAV routes, designated T–212, 

T–255 and T–300. T–212 extends 

between the WEARD, NY, fix and the 

Putnam, CT, VOR/DME. T–212 overlies 

V–205, which is removed. 

T–255 extends between the NELIE, 

CT, waypoint (WP) and the Martha’s 

Vineyard, MA, VOR/DME. It overlies 

that portion of V–405 that is being 

removed as described above. 

T–300 extends between the Albany, 

NY, VORTAC and the Martha’s 

Vineyard, MA, VOR/DME. This route 

overlies another portion of V–130 that is 

removed under this action. 

VOR Federal airways are published in 

paragraph 6010, and RNAV routes are 

published in paragraph 6011, 

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9V 

dated August 9, 2011, and effective 

September 15, 2011, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The VOR Federal airways and 

RNAV routes listed in this document 

will be subsequently published in the 

Order. 

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. Therefore, this 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 because 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. 

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 

because it amends the airway structure 

to ensure the continuity of air 

navigation capability in the Windsor 

Locks, CT, area and expands the 

availability of RNAV routes within the 

NAS. 

Radials listed in this rule are 

expressed in degrees relative to True 

North. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action is categorically excluded from 

further environmental documentation 

according to FAA Order 1050.1E, 

paragraph 311a, 311b, and 311i. The 

implementation of this action will not 

result in any extraordinary 

circumstances in accordance with 

paragraph 304 of Order 1050.1E.

Notice of Procedures for Submitting 

Clarifying Questions Concerning the 

Flight, Duty, and Rest Requirements of 

Part 117 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of procedures for 

submitting clarifying questions. 

SUMMARY: The FAA published a final 

rule on January 4, 2012 that amends the 

existing flight, duty and rest regulations 

applicable to certificate holders and 

their flightcrew members. Since then, 

the FAA has received questions from 

stakeholders concerning the provisions 

of the final rule. In response to these 

questions, the FAA is issuing this 

document, which announces the 

procedures for submitting clarifying 

questions to the final rule. 

DATES: You must submit your clarifying 

questions in writing using the 

procedures outlined below by June 4, 

2012. 

ADDRESSES: See the ‘‘Procedures for 

Submitting Clarifying Questions’’ 

section of this document. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: See 

the ‘‘Procedures for Submitting 

Clarifying Questions’’ section of this 

document. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 4, 2012, the FAA 

published a final rule entitled, 

‘‘Flightcrew Member Duty and Rest 

Requirements’’ (77 FR 330). In that rule, 

the FAA created new part 117, which 

replaces the existing flight, duty, and 

rest regulations, contained in Subparts 

Q, R, and S, for part 121 passenger 

operations. As part of this rulemaking, 

the FAA also applied the new part 117 

to certain part 91 operations, and 

permitted all-cargo operations operating 

under part 121 to voluntarily opt into 

the part 117 flight, duty, and rest 

regulations. 

Since the rule was published, the 

FAA has received numerous questions 

concerning the provisions of the final 

rule. Even though the final rule’s 

compliance date is January 4, 2014, the 

FAA concludes that responding to the 

questions and providing additional 

regulatory clarity will enable the 

stakeholders to better plan the changes 

that they will need to make in order to 

comply with the final rule. To the extent 

possible, the FAA also seeks to ensure 

consistency of interpretation by 

answering the stakeholders’ questions in 

a single document instead of multiple 

different interpretations. 

Accordingly, the FAA requests that all 

clarifying questions be submitted to the 

docket no later than June 4, 2012. The 

FAA emphasizes that it is not 

reconsidering the provisions of the final 

rule or reopening the final rule to notice 

and comment. Rather, the FAA is 

simply soliciting questions about how 

the final rule works so that the FAA can
