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 (NPRM) for 

Docket No. FAA–2020–0923 in the 

Federal Register (85 FR 70093; 

November 4, 2020), to amend Jet Route 

J–134, RNAV route Q–67, and VOR 

Federal airways V–45 and V–119; 

establish RNAV route Q–176; and 

remove Jet Route J–91 and VOR Federal 

airway V–174 in the vicinity of 

Henderson, WV. The proposed 

amendment, establishment, and 

revocation actions were due to the 

planned decommissioning of the VOR 

portion of the Henderson, WV, VORTAC 

NAVAID. Interested parties were invited 

to participate in this rulemaking effort 

by submitting written comments on the 

proposal. No comments were received. 

Subsequent to the NPRM, the Office 

of the Federal Register published a 

NPRM correction for Docket No. FAA– 

2020–0923 in the Federal Register (85 

FR 71293; November 9, 2020), 

correcting the RNAV route formatting 

for the Q–67 and Q–176 descriptions in 

the regulatory text and also adding the 

missing ‘‘Paragraph 6010(a) Domestic 

VOR Federal Airways’’ heading between 

the RNAV route Q–176 and VOR 

Federal airway V–45 descriptions in the 

regulatory text. The correct RNAV route 

formatting and Domestic VOR Federal 

Airways heading are included in the 

regulatory text in this rule. 

Additionally, subsequent to the 

NPRM, the FAA published a rule for 

Docket No. FAA–2020–0709 in the 

Federal Register (85 FR 79117; 

December 9, 2020), amending VOR 

Federal airway V–119 by removing the 

airway segment overlying the Clarion, 

PA, VOR/Distance Measuring 

Equipment (VOR/DME) between the 

Indian Head, PA, VORTAC and the 

Clarion, PA, VOR/DME. That airway 

amendment, effective February 25, 

2021, is included in this rule. 

Lastly, the state reference for the 

Henderson, WV, VORTAC was 

incorrectly listed as Kentucky (KY) in 

the Proposal section of the NPRM for Jet 

Routes J–91 and J–134. The correct state 

is WV and this action corrects those 

errors. 

Jet Routes are published in paragraph 

2004, United States RNAV Q-routes are 

published in paragraph 2006, and 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 ATS routes listed in this 

document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 45 / Wednesday, March 10, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 13643 

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 14 CFR part 71 

by modifying Jet Route J–134, RNAV 

route Q–67, and VOR Federal airways 

V–45 and V–119; establishing RNAV 

route Q–176; and removing Jet Route J– 

91 and VOR Federal airway V–174. The 

planned decommissioning of the VOR 

portion of the Henderson, WV, VORTAC 

has made this action necessary. 

The Jet Route changes are outlined 

below. 

J–91: J–91 extends between the 

Volunteer, TN, VORTAC and the 

Henderson, WV, VORTAC. The route is 

removed in its entirety. 

J–134: J–134 extends between the Los 

Angeles, CA, VORTAC and the Linden, 

VA, VORTAC. The airway segment 

overlying the Henderson, WV, VORTAC 

between the Falmouth, KY, VOR/DME 

and the Linden, VA, VORTAC is 

removed. The unaffected portions of the 

existing route remain as charted. 

The RNAV route changes are outlined 

below. 

Q–67: Q–67 extends between the 

SMTTH, TN, waypoint (WP) and the 

DARYN, WV, WP. The route end point 

is changed from the DARYN, WV, WP 

to the Henderson, WV, DME (located 

approximately 1 nautical mile 

southwest of the DARYN WP), and the 

number of route points listed in the 

description are reduced while retaining 

the route as charted. Additionally, the 

TONIO, KY, fix, which is being retained 

in the route description, is changed to 

reflect the fix as a WP. The route will 

continue to provide RNAV routing 

capability from the Knoxville, TN, area 

northeastward to the Henderson, WV, 

area. 

Q–176: Q–176 is a new route that 

extends between the Cimarron, NM, 

VORTAC and the OTTTO, VA, WP. This 

RNAV route mitigates the loss of the J– 

134 route segment between the 

Falmouth, KY, VOR/DME and the 

Linden, VA, VORTAC and is a direct 

overlay of the existing J–134. 

Additionally, it provides RNAV routing 

capability from the Cimarron, NM, area 

eastward to the Front Royal, VA, area. 

The VOR Federal airway changes are 

outlined below. 

V–45: V–45 extends between the New 

Bern, NC, VOR/DME and the Appleton, 

OH, VORTAC; and between the 

Saginaw, MI, VOR/DME and the Sault 

Ste. Marie, MI, VOR/DME. The airway 

segment overlying the Henderson, WV, 

VORTAC between the Charleston, WV, 

VOR/DME and the Appleton, OH, 

VORTAC is removed. The unaffected 

portions of the existing airway remain 

as charted. 

V–119: V–119 extends between the 

Henderson, WV, VORTAC and the 

Indian Head, PA, VORTAC. The airway 

segment overlying the Henderson, WV, 

VORTAC between the Henderson, WV, 

VORTAC and the Parkersburg, WV, 

VOR/DME is removed. The unaffected 

portions of the existing airway remain 

as charted. 

V–174: V–174 extends between the 

York, KY, VORTAC and the Elkins, WV, 

VORTAC. The airway is removed in its 

entirety. 

All 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 modifying Jet Route J–134, 

RNAV route Q–67, and VOR Federal 

airways V–45 and V–119; establishing 

RNAV route Q–176; and removing Jet 

Route J–91 and VOR Federal airway V– 

174, due to the planned 

decommissioning of the VOR portion of 

the Henderson, WV, VORTAC NAVAID, 

qualifies for categorical exclusion under 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(42 U.S.C. 4321et seq) 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.
