Proposed Modification of VOR Federal 

Airways V–10, V–12, and V–508 in the 

Vicinity of Olathe, KS 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT.

adjust the airway route structure due to 

the planned decommissioning of the 

Johnson County VOR/DME navigation 

aid located on Johnson County 

Executive Airport, Olathe, KS.

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

Background 

The Kansas City Air Route Traffic 

Control Center requested the 

decommissioning of the Johnson County 

(OJC) VOR/DME navigation aid located 

on the Johnson County Executive 

Airport, Olathe, KS, due to poor 

performance of the navigation aid. The 

OJC VOR/DME performs poorly due to 

suburban encroachment into the 

facility’s critical areas. Approach 

procedures using the facility as the 

primary navigational aid have been 

cancelled while other procedures 

serving the airport are being amended to 

discontinue use of the facility. 

Additionally, building infrastructure 

housing the VOR/DME equipment is 

deteriorating rapidly. The building is 

prone to water leakage jeopardizing the 

equipment and creating hazardous 

working conditions for maintenance 

personnel. As a result, the OJC VOR/ 

DME is no longer cost effective to 

maintain and operate and is planned to 

be decommissioned without 

replacement. 

The FAA conducted an aeronautical 

study of the proposal to decommission 

the Johnson County VOR/DME in 2009 

and issued a determination of nonobjection with the special provision that 

all instrument procedures that utilize 

the OJC VOR/DME be modified with 

minimal impact to the aviation 

community. This proposed action 

would modify the affected airways to 

provide continued navigation capability 

in the Olathe, KS, area. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 to modify V–10, V–12, 

and V–508 in the vicinity of Olathe, KS. 

These changes are required due to the 

planned decommissioning of the OJC 

VOR/DME in July 2012. 

The proposed changes to V–10 and 

V–12 are administrative in nature and 

intended to keep the route segments in 

the vicinity of Olathe, KS, between 

Emporia, KS, and Napoleon, MO, 

unchanged. To retain the airway 

structure of these airways, the FAA 

would establish the WETZL fix at the 

same location depicting the OJC VOR/ 

DME navigation aid. The modification 

to V–10 and V–12 would replace the 

OJC VOR/DME in the current airway 

descriptions with the WETZL fix 

(described as the intersection of the 

navigation aid radials that define 

WETZL). Specifically, the proposed 

modification to the V–10 and V–12 

descriptions would replace the 

‘‘Johnson County, KS’’ reference with 

‘‘INT Emporia 063°(T)/055°(M) and 

Napoleon, MO, 242°(T)/235°(M) 

radials’’. The magnetic radial 

information would be removed in the 

final rule. 

As currently established, V–508 ends 

at the OJC VOR/DME. The proposed 

change to V–508 would eliminate the

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 34 / Tuesday, February 21, 2012 / Proposed Rules 9877 

last 21 NM of the airway; terminating 

the route at the existing RUGBB fix, 

shared with V–502. Ending the modified 

V–508 at the RUGBB fix would provide 

eastbound IFR aircraft with the ability to 

continue to destinations further east or 

northeast via transition from V–508 to 

V–502. 

VOR Federal airways are published in 

paragraph 6010(a) 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 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) 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 proposes to modify VOR Federal 

Airways in the vicinity of Olathe, KS. 

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.
