AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

amend VOR Federal airway V–487 in 

the vicinity of Glens Falls, NY, and 

Burlington, VT. The proposed change 

would substitute a radial from the 

Burlington, VT, VOR/DME (BTV), in 

place of the current Glens Falls, NY, 

VOR/DME (GFL) radial, for defining a 

navigation fix along the route. 

Additionally, this action would remove 

segments of V–487 between Burlington, 

VT, and St Jean, Canada. These changes 

are necessary due to the 

decommissioning of the Glens Falls, 

NY, VOR/DME, and the 

decommissioning of the St Jean, Canada 

VOR/DME (YJN). 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before April 19, 2021.

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 would 

amend the VOR Federal airway V–487 

to match changes in navigation aid 

infrastructure.

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

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 

proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.11E 

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 14 CFR part 71 to amend VOR 

Federal airway V–487 in the vicinity of 

Glens Falls, NY, and Burlington, VT. 

The proposed change would substitute 

a radial from the Burlington, VT, VOR/ 

DME, in place of the current Glens Falls, 

NY, VOR/DME radial, for defining the 

ENSON, VT, navigation fix. Currently, 

the ENSON, VT, navigation fix is 

defined by the intersection of the 

Cambridge, NY, VOR/DME (CAM) 002° 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
12866 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 42 / Friday, March 5, 2021 / Proposed Rules 

radial, and the Glens Falls, NY, VOR/ 

DME 032° radial. 

This change is necessary because the 

Glens Falls VOR/DME has been 

decommissioned and is no longer in 

service. As amended, the ENSON fix 

would be defined by the intersection of 

the Burlington, VT, 187° (T)/202° (M), 

and the Cambridge, NY 002° radials. 

This change would not affect navigation 

along that portion of the route. 

Additionally, the FAA proposes to 

remove the segment of V–487 that 

extends between the Burlington, VT, 

VOR/DME, and the St Jean, Canada 

VOR/DME due to the decommissioning 

of the St Jean VOR/DME. As amended, 

V–487 would extend between 

LaGuardia, NY, and Burlington, VT. 

Note: when new radials are specified 

in a proposed airway route description, 

both True and Magnetic degrees are 

stated in the NPRM. Otherwise, only 

True degrees are included in the 

description. 

Domestic 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 airway listed in 

this document would be subsequently 

published in the Order. 

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 

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.
