Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 12 / Wednesday, January 20, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 2987 

Municipal Airport, Bowman, ND, due to 

closure of the airport. This action 

accommodates new standard instrument 

approach procedures at Bowman 

Regional Airport and enhances the 

safety and management of IFR 

operations at the airport. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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, is non-controversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. It, therefore: (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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA issued a Federal Finding of 

No Significant Impact/Record of 

Decision (FONSI/ROD) for the proposed 

relocation of the Bowman County 

Airport and associated actions at 

Bowman County, North Dakota on 

August 2, 2010. This action to establish 

Class E airspace extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface at Bowman 

Regional Airport, Bowman, ND, and to 

remove Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Bowman Municipal Airport, 

Bowman, ND, due to closure of the 

airport is a part of the associated actions 

covered in the FONSI/ROD and 

evaluated in the Environmental 

Assessment dated June 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

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 the 

air traffic service route structure in the 

north central United States to maintain 

the efficient flow of air traffic. 

History 

In 1962, the FAA published in the 

Federal Register a rule that extended V– 

443 from the Cleveland, OH, VHF 

Omnidirection Range Tactical Air 

Navigation (VORTAC) navigation aid 

(NAVAID) over the Aylmer, Ontario, 

Canada, Omnidirection Range/Distance 

Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) 

NAVAID to the Toronto, Ontario, 

Canada, VOR/DME NAVAID, excluding 

the airspace within Canada (27 FR 

11497, November 22, 1962). The route 

extension was established in concert 

with the Canadian Department of 

Transport to provide a more direct route 

between Cleveland and Toronto.

2988 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 12 / Wednesday, January 20, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

In 1989, the FAA published in the 

Federal Register a rule to amend V–443 

(54 FR 39166, September 25, 1989). The 

amendment inserted an intersection fix 

between the Aylmer, ON, Canada, VOR/ 

DME and the Toronto, ON, Canada, 

VOR/DME NAVAIDs to adjust the 

arrival/departure routes to/from 

Toronto, ON, Canada, and alleviate the 

congestion and compression of air 

traffic in that area. As a result, the V– 

433 description was amended to reflect 

the route being realigned from the 

Aylmer, Ontario, Canada, VOR/DME, to 

an intersection fix defined by the 

Aylmer 051° and Toronto 210° radials, 

to the Toronto, ON, Canada, VOR/DME. 

In November 2014, Canada removed 

the V–443 route segment from the 

Aylmer, ON, Canada, VOR/DME, to the 

Toronto, ON, Canada, VOR/DME, as 

part of their WTM airspace redesign 

program; however, corresponding action 

amending the FAA’s V–443 legal 

description was not accomplished. This 

disconnect led to the charted depiction 

of V–443 being amended in the 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) low 

altitude enroute charts and the FAA 

National Airspace System Repository 

(NASR) database being updated, but the 

V–443 legal description published in 

FAA Order 7400.9, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR part 71, remaining unchanged. 

Since the basis for establishing the V– 

443 route segment between the Alymer, 

ON, Canada, VOR/DME to the Toronto, 

ON, Canada, VOR/DME no longer exists, 

the FAA is amending the route 

description in FAA Order 7400.9 and 14 

CFR part 71. 

VOR Federal airways are published in 

paragraph 2010 of FAA Order 7400.9Z 

dated August 6, 2015, and effective 

September 15, 2015, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The VOR Federal airway listed in 

this document will be subsequently 

amended in the Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.9Z, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, 

and effective September 15, 2015. FAA 

Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending Title 14 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 

part 71 by removing the route segment 

of V–443 that extends from Aylmer, ON, 

Canada, to Toronto, ON, Canada. The 

remaining portion of V–443 is 

unchanged. This action responds to the 

route changes made by Canada as part 

of their WTM airspace redesign project. 

Canada has subsequently removed this 

route segment and it no longer exists on 

aeronautical charts. Therefore, notice 

and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b) are unnecessary. 

All radials in the route description 

below are unchanged and stated in True 

degrees. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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 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 only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5– 

6.5a. This airspace action consists of 

modifying an airway and it is not 

expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exists 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
