Amendment to Description of VOR 

Federal Airway V–299; CA 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the 

description of VOR Federal airway 

V–299 by reinserting wording that 

excludes the airspace in restricted area 

R–2519 from the airway. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC October 

4, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul 

Gallant, Airspace, Regulations and ATC 

Procedures Group, Office of Airspace 

Services, Federal Aviation 

Administration, 800 Independence 

Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; 

telephone: (202) 267–8783. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

A review of the description of VOR 

Federal airway V–299 found that 

wording excluding the airspace within 

restricted area R–2519 from the airway 

was incorrectly deleted in a previous 

rule amending V–299 that removed 

reference to another restricted area, 

R–2520. See (52 FR 5947; February 27, 

1987). The exclusionary wording had 

previously been included in the 

description of V–299 (45 FR 335; 

January 2, 1980). 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to 

amend the regulatory text of VOR 

Federal airway V–299 by inserting the 

words ‘‘is excluded’’ following the 

words ‘‘* * * the airspace within 

R–2519 below 5,000 feet MSL. * * *’’ 

This is an administrative change to 

insert wording inadvertently omitted 

from the airway description; therefore, 

notice and public procedures under 5 

U.S.C. 533(b) are unnecessary. 

VOR Federal airways are published in 

paragraph 6010 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 airway listed in 


sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with RULES
61258 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 192 / Tuesday, October 4, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

this document will be subsequently 

published in the Order. 

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. Therefore, this 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 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 amends an airway description in 

California to keep it current to ensure 

the safety of aircraft operations within 

the National Airspace System. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: 

Polices and Procedures, paragraph 311a. 

This airspace action is not expected to 

cause any potentially significant 

environmental impacts, and no 

extraordinary circumstances exist that 

warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.

1963 Comp., p. 389. 

§ 71.1 [Amended] 

■ 2. The incorporation by reference in 

14 CFR 71.1 of the Federal Aviation 

Administration Order 7400.9V, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 9, 2011, and effective 

September 15, 2011, is amended as

within R–2519 more than 3 statute miles W 

of Ventura 155° and 331° radials, and the 

airspace within R–2519 below 5,000 feet 

MSL is excluded. The portion outside the 

United States has no upper limit.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On Friday, July 29, 2011, the FAA 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal 

Register to revise Class E airspace at 

Allakaket, AK (76 FR 45477). 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking 

proceeding by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

A comment was received that reference 

to Class E2 airspace should be removed 

as it is not applicable to Allakaket. The 

FAA agrees and has removed those 

references. 

Class E airspace areas are published 

in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 

7400.9V, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, signed September 9, 

2011, and effective September 15, 2011, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. With the exception of editorial 

changes, and the changes described 

above, this rule is the same as that 

proposed in the NPRM. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

revising Class E airspace at the 

Allakaket Airport, Allakaket, AK, to 

accommodate the amendment of a 

standard instrument approach 

procedure. The additional Class E 

airspace provides adequate controlled 

airspace extending upward from 700 

and 1,200 feet above the surface is 

necessary for the safety and 

management of IFR operations at the 

airport. 

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 DOT
