Proposed Modification and Revocation 

of Air Traffic Service (ATS) Routes in 

the Vicinity of Sandusky, OH 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

modify 5 VHF Omnidirectional Range 

(VOR) Federal airways (V–6, V–30, V– 

126, V–133, and V–416) and remove 1 

VOR Federal airway (V–65) in the 

vicinity of Sandusky, OH. The FAA is 

proposing this action due to the 

scheduled decommissioning of the 

Sandusky, OH (SKY), VOR/Distance 

Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) 

facility that provides navigation 

guidance for a portion of the airways 

listed. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before August 1, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this 

proposal to the U.S. Department of

Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking Distribution System, which 

describes the application procedure. 

Background 

The SKY VOR/DME facility is 

scheduled to be decommissioned due to 

the Griffing Sandusky airport property 

on which it is located being sold and 

developed into something other than an 

airport. Additionally, the FAA lease on 

the property for the SKY VOR/DME 

ends in September 2014. With the 

decommissioning of the SKY VOR/

DME, ground-based navigation aid 

(NAVAID) coverage is insufficient to 

enable the continuity of the affected 

airways. The proposed modifications to 

VOR Federal airways V–6, V–30, V–126, 

V–133, and V–416 would result in a gap 

in the route structures, as well as the 

proposed removal of VOR Federal 

airway V–65. Route segments supported 

by other NAVAIDs would be retained. 

To mitigate the decommissioning of the 

SKY VOR/DME facility and the 

proposed non-continuous route 

structures, adjacent VOR Federal 

airways would remain available. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 to modify VOR Federal 

airways V–6, V–30, V–126, V–133, and 

V–416, and remove V–65 in the vicinity 

of Sandusky, OH. These proposed 

changes are necessary due to the 

scheduled decommissioning of the SKY 

VOR/DME. The proposed route 

modifications are outlined below. 

V–6: V–6 extends from the Oakland, 

CA (OAK), VOR Tactical Air Navigation 

(VORTAC) to the DuPage, IL (DPA), 

VOR/DME, and from the intersection of 

the Chicago Heights, IL (CGT), VORTAC 

358° and Gipper, MI (GIJ), VORTAC 

271° radials (NILES fix) to the La 

Guardia, NY (LGA), VOR/DME. The 

route segment between the Waterville, 

OH (VWV), VOR/DME and Dryer, OH 

(DJB), VOR/DME facilities would be 

removed and aircraft flying between 

VWV and DJB would be routed using 

other existing adjacent airways. 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
34454 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 116 / Tuesday, June 17, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

V–30: V–30 extends from the Badger, 

WI (BAE), VORTAC to the Solberg, NJ 

(SBJ), VOR/DME. The route segment 

between the VWV VOR/DME and DJB 

VOR/DME facilities would be removed 

and aircraft flying between VWV and 

DJB would be routed using other 

existing adjacent airways. 

V–65: V–65 extends from the DJB 

VOR/DME to the Carleton, MI (CRL), 

VORTAC. This route would be removed 

completely and aircraft flying between 

DJB and CRL would be routed using 

other existing adjacent airways. 

V–126: V–126 extends from the 

intersection of the Peotone, IL (EON), 

VORTAC 053° and Knox, IN (OXI), 

VOR/DME 297° radials (BEARZ fix) to 

the Stonyfork, PA (SFK), VOR/DME. 

The route segment between the VWV 

VOR/DME and DJB VOR/DME facilities 

would be removed and aircraft flying 

between VWV and DJB would be routed 

using other existing adjacent airways. 

V–133: V–133 extends from the 

intersection of the Charlotte, NC (CLT), 

VOR/DME 305° and Barretts Mountain, 

NC (BZM), VOR/DME 197° radials 

(LINCO fix) to the Red Lake, ON, 

Canada (YRL), VOR/DME, excluding the 

airspace within Canada. The route 

segment between the Mansfield, OH 

(MFD), VORTAC and Salem, MI (SVM), 

VORTAC facilities would be removed 

and aircraft flying between MFD and 

SVM would be routed using other 

existing adjacent airways. 

V–416: V–416 extends from the 

Rosewood, OH (ROD), VORTAC to the 

intersection of the MFD VORTAC 045° 

and SKY VOR/DME 107° radials (JAKEE 

fix). Since the JAKEE fix is defined 

using a radial from the SKY VOR, the fix 

is being redefined in its same location 

using radials from the MFD VORTAC 

and DJB VOR/DME to retain the route 

unchanged. 

With the exception of the Dryer, OH, 

VOR/DME radial information contained 

in the regulatory text V–416 description, 

the navigation aid radials cited in the 

proposed VOR Federal airways 

descriptions are stated relative to True 

north. 

Domestic VOR Federal airways are 

published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA 

Order 7400.9X dated August 7, 2013, 

and effective September 15, 2013, 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 would only affect air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this proposed rule, when 

promulgated, would 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 would modify the route structure as 

necessary to preserve the safe and 

efficient flow of air traffic within the 

NAS. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Executive Summary of Rule 

This is a proposed rule to 

comprehensively update and streamline 

the process for obtaining BIA grants of 

rights-of-way on Indian land. The 

current regulations were promulgated in 

1968, and last updated in 1980. In 

December 2012, the Department issued 

final regulations comprehensively 

reforming residential, business, and 

wind and solar leasing on Indian land 

and streamlining the leasing process. 

Given the supportive response to the 

leasing regulatory revisions, we are 

updating 25 CFR 169 (Rights-of-Way) to 

mirror those revisions to the extent 

applicable in the rights-of-way context. 

Highlights of the proposed rights-of-way 

revisions include: 

Æ Eliminating the need to obtain BIA 

consent for surveying in preparation for 

a right-of-way; 

Æ Establishing timelines for BIA 

review of rights-of-way requests; 

Æ Clarifying processes for BIA review 

of right-of-way documents; 

Æ Allowing BIA disapproval only 

where there is a stated compelling 

reason; 

Æ Providing greater deference to 

Tribes on compensation for rights-ofway; 

Æ Clarifying the authority by which 

BIA approves rights-of-way; and 

Æ Eliminating outdated requirements 

specific to different types of rights-ofway. 

Together, these revisions will 

modernize the rights-of-way approval 

process while better supporting Tribal 

self-determination. This rule also 

updates the regulations to be in a 

question-and-answer format, in 

compliance with ‘‘plain language’’ 

requirements. 

II. Summary of All Revisions to 25 CFR 

Part 169 

The following table summarizes 

revisions to part 169, by showing where 

the substance of each section of the 

current rule is in the proposed rule and 

describing the changes.
