SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

The FAA published in the Federal 

Register a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend VOR 

Federal airway V–243 and establish 

RNAV route T–325, in the Huntingburg, 

IN, area (78 FR 78302, December 26, 

2013). Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal. Two comments were received. 

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots 

Association supported the modification, 

but encouraged the FAA to utilize 

stakeholders in developing a national 

air traffic service route modernization 

plan. 

The second commenter requested 

inclusion of the WEGEE fix in the T–325 

routing, even if it and/or the BUNKA fix 

had to be moved to accommodate, and 

that the route have a single course 

change using the APALO fix for that 

course change. In considering the 

commenter’s request, the FAA 

determined the WEGEE fix supports a 

reporting point on VOR Federal airway 

V–305, an instrument departure 

procedure from Indianapolis 

International Airport, and an instrument 

approach procedure to a different 

airport. Additionally, the BUNKA fix 

supports a reporting point on VOR 

Federal airway V–221, a holding 

pattern, and five instrument approach 

procedures to three different airports. 

To minimize changes to the National 

Airspace System (NAS) infrastructure, 

beyond the decommissioning of the 

Huntingburg VOR/DME, and to avoid a 

host of cascading route and procedure 

changes that would be required by 

moving the WEGEE and BUNKA fixes, 

this action establishes RNAV route T– 

325 as proposed in the NPRM. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending Title 14, Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

by modifying VOR Federal airway V– 

243 and establishing RNAV route T– 

325. The scheduled decommissioning of 

the HNB VOR/DME facility has made 

this action necessary. The route 

modification and establishment actions 

are outlined below. 

V–243: V–243, previously extending 

between the Craig, FL, VOR/Tactical Air 

Navigation (VORTAC) and the Terre 

Haute, IN, VORTAC, is modified to 

retain the airway routing between the 

Craig, FL, VORTAC and Bowling Green, 

KY, VORTAC. The route segment 

between the Bowling Green, KY, 

VORTAC and the Terre Haute, IN, 

VORTAC is removed. The new RNAV 

route T–325, described below, replaces 

the V–243 route segment removed. 

T–325: T–325 is established between 

the Bowling Green, KY, VORTAC and 

the Terre Haute, IN, VORTAC, replacing 

the V–243 route segment removed as 

described above. The RNAV route 

segments between the Bowling Green, 

KY, VORTAC and the APALO, IN, 

waypoint (WP) fix and between the 

BUNKA, IN, WP fix and the Terre 

Haute, IN, VORTAC overlay the V–243 

route segments that were removed. The 

route segment between the APOLO and 

BUNKA WP fixes provides a shorter and 

almost direct RNAV routing between the 

Bowling Green, KY, and Terre Haute, 

IN, VORTAC facilities. Additionally, T– 

325 uses existing waypoints to 

minimize changes to the NAS 

infrastructure and to retain the existing 

functionality and supported procedures 

by the waypoints used to describe the 

route. 

In the NPRM, the geographic 

coordinates published for the Bowling 

Green, KY, and Terre Haute, IN, 

VORTAC facilities in the T–325 route 

description contained errors and are 

corrected in this rule. The Bowling 

Green, KY, VORTAC coordinates are 

changed from ‘‘lat. 36°55′43′′ N., long. 

086°26′36′′ W.’’ to ‘‘lat. 36°55′44′′ N., 

long. 086°26′36′′ W.’’; and the Terre 

Haute, IN, VORTAC coordinates are 

changed from ‘‘lat. 39°29′20′′ N., long. 

087°14′56′′ W.’’ to ‘‘lat. 39°29′20′′ N., 

long. 087°14′57′′ W.’’ With the exception 

of these changes, this rule is the same 

as that proposed in the NPRM. 

Domestic VOR Federal airways are 

published in paragraph 6010(a) and low 

altitude RNAV routes (T) are published 

in paragraph 6011, respectively, 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 airway and low 

altitude RNAV route listed in 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 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. 

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 route structure as 

necessary to preserve the safe and 

efficient flow of air traffic within the 

NAS. 

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: Policies 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.

Revisions to Defense Priorities and 

Allocations System Regulations 

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule clarifies existing 

standards and procedures by which the 

Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) 

may require that certain contracts or 

orders that promote the national defense 

be given priority over other contracts or 

orders. It also sets new standards and 

procedures for such prioritization with 

respect to contracts or orders for 

emergency preparedness activities. 

Finally, this rule sets new standards and 

procedures by which BIS may allocate 

materials, services and facilities to 

promote the national defense. This rule 

implements provisions in the Defense 

Production Act Reauthorization of 2009 

(September 30, 2009) (herein the 

Reauthorization Act) regarding 

publication of regulations providing 

standards and procedures for 

prioritization of contracts and orders 

and for allocation of materials, services, 

and facilities to promote the national 

defense under emergency and nonemergency conditions. 

DATES: Effective Date: September 15, 

2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This rule updates and expands the 

Defense Priorities and Allocations 

System (DPAS) regulations (15 CFR part 

700). BIS relies upon and uses the DPAS 

regulations to implement priority and 

allocation actions involving industrial 

resources. The DPAS has two principal 

components—priorities and allocations. 

Under the priorities component, 

contracts needed to support programs 

that have been approved for priorities 

support are required to be given priority 

over other contracts to facilitate 

expedited delivery in promotion of the 

U.S. national defense. Such contracts 

may be between the government and 

private parties or between private 

parties. Under the allocations 

component, materials, services, and 

facilities may be allocated to promote 

the national defense. For both 

components, the term ‘‘national 

defense’’ means programs for military 

and energy production or construction, 

homeland security, stockpiling, space, 

emergency preparedness, and critical 

infrastructure protection and 

restoration. The term also includes 

foreign military and critical 

infrastructure assistance. 

The Reauthorization Act (123 Stat. 

2006) (Pub. L. 111–67) required agencies
