Docket No. 10–AGL–4] 

RIN 2120–AA66 

Proposed Modification of VOR Federal 

Airways V–82, V–175, V–191, and 

V–430 in the Vicinity of Bemidji, MN 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

modify the legal description of VHF 

Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal 

Airways V–82, V–175, V–191, and 

V–430 in the vicinity of Bemidji, MN. 

The Bemidji (BJI) VOR, navigation aid 

that forms a segment of these airways 

has been out of service for over two 

years due to terrain and new 

construction signal interference 

problems and is planned for 

decommissioning. An airway 

intersection reporting point is being 

established in the same location as the 

BJI VOR to restore a navigable route 

structure to the area similar to what 

existed prior to the loss of service from 

the navigation aid. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before June 21, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this 

proposal to the U.S. Department of 

Transportation, Docket Operations, M–

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 to modify V–82, V–175, 

V–191, and V–430 in the vicinity of 

Bemidji, MN. The BJI VOR navigation 

aid, used in each of these airways, has 

been out of service for over two years 

due to excessive bends, roughness, and 

scalloping on all radials below 5,000 

feet Mean Sea Level (MSL), and was 

removed from service in April 2007. 

The FAA had trees removed within 

1,000 feet of the navigation aid, but no 

improvement was noted. As a result, the 

BJI VOR, MN, is scheduled for 

decommissioning on July 29, 2010. 

Since V–82, V–175, V–191, and 

V–430 are currently not useable in the 

vicinity of the BJI VOR, air traffic 

control must vector aircraft in this area 

until the aircraft reaches a useable 

segment of the airways. To restore the 

navigable airway structure in the 

vicinity of Bemidji, MN, the FAA is 

proposing to establish the BLUOX fix in 

the same location currently depicting 

the BJI VOR navigation aid. Specifically, 

the proposed modification to V–82 and 

V–175 replaces the BJI VOR with an 

intersection point defining the BLUOX 

fix. The proposed modification to V–191 

terminates the airway at the Grand 

Rapids VOR (GPZ), MN, since the 

modified V–430, as proposed below, 

would provide service to the same 

segments of V–191 being eliminated. 

Lastly, the proposed modification to 

V–430 reroutes the airway between 

BLUOX fix and Grand Forks VOR 

(GFK), ND, over the Thief River Falls 

VOR (TVF), MN. The reroute is 

necessary due to the GFK VOR signal 

not being strong enough to establish the 

intersection point defining the BLUOX 

fix between the GFK VOR and the GPZ 

VOR. 

VOR Federal airways are published in 

paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order 

7400.9T signed August 27, 2009 and 

effective September 15, 2009, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The VOR Federal Airways listed in 

this document would be subsequently 

published in the Order. 

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. 

Therefore, this proposed 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) 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 86 / Wednesday, May 5, 2010 / Proposed Rules 24505 

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. 

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 VOR Federal Airways in the 

vicinity of Bemidji, MN. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures,’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

[Docket No. OSHA–2010–0024] 

Modernization of OSHA’s Injury and 

Illness Data Collection Process 

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA), Labor 

ACTION: Stakeholder meetings and 

request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: OSHA invites interested 

parties to participate in informal 

stakeholder meetings on the 

modernization of OSHA’s injury and 

illness data collection system. OSHA 

encourages stakeholders who cannot 

participate to submit written comments. 

OSHA needs to gather information from 

stakeholders in order to be able to 

modify its current injury and illness 

recordkeeping regulation and develop a 

modernized recordkeeping system in 

ways that will help OSHA, employers, 

employees, researchers, and the public 

prevent workplace injuries and illnesses 

as well as, supporting President 

Obama’s Open Government Initiative, 

increase the ability of the public to 

easily find, download, and use the 

resulting dataset generated and held by 

the Federal Government. The informal 

discussions at the stakeholder meetings 

and the written comments from 

stakeholders will help give OSHA this 

information. 

DATES: The meeting dates are: 

• May 25, 2010, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 

p.m., Washington, DC. 

• June 3, 2010, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., 

Chicago, IL. 

Written comments must be submitted 

(postmarked, sent, or received) by June 

18, 2010.
