[Docket No. FAA–2010–0689; Airspace 

Docket No. 09–AGL–29] 

RIN: 2120–AA66 

Amendment of VOR Federal Airways 

V–50, V–251, and V–313 in the Vicinity 

of Decatur, IL 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends the legal 

description of the VHF omnidirectional 

range (VOR) Federal Airways V–50, V– 

251, and V–313 in the vicinity of 

Decatur, IL. The FAA is taking this 

action because the Decatur VHF omnidirectional range/tactical air navigation 

(VORTAC), included as part of the V– 

50, V–251, and V–313 route structure, is 

being renamed the Adders VORTAC. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, 

September 23, 2010. The Director of the 

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under 

1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual 

revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 

publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

amending the legal description of VOR 

Federal Airways V–50, V–251, and V– 

313, in the vicinity of Decatur, IL. 

Currently, V–50, V–251, and V–313 

have Decatur, IL, [VORTAC] included as 

part of their route structure. The Decatur 

VORTAC and the Decatur Airport share 

the same name and facility identifier 

(DEC), but are not co-located and are 

greater than 5 nautical miles apart. To 

eliminate the possibility of confusion, 

and a potential flight safety issue, the 

Decatur VORTAC will be renamed the 

Adders VORTAC and assigned a new 

facility identifier (AXC). All VOR 

Federal Airways with Decatur, IL, 

[VORTAC] included in their legal 

description will be amended to reflect 

the Adders, IL, [VORTAC] name change. 

The name change of the VORTAC will 

coincide with the effective date of this 

rulemaking action. 

Since this action merely involves 

editorial changes in the legal 

descriptions of VOR Federal Airways, 

and does not involve a change in the 

dimensions or operating requirements of 

that airspace, notice and public 

procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are 

unnecessary. 

Domestic 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 domestic VOR Federal 

Airways listed in this document will be 

published subsequently 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 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 revises the legal description of three 

VOR Federal Airways in the vicinity of 

Decatur, IL. 

Environmental Review 

There are no changes to the lateral 

limits. Therefore, the FAA has 

determined that this action is not 

subject to environmental assessments 

and procedures in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, Policies and Procedures 

for Considering Environmental Impacts, 

and the National Environmental Policy 

Act.
