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 would 

modify the National Airspace System 

(NAS) as necessary to preserve the safe 

and efficient flow of air traffic. 

Comments Invited 

The FAA invites interested persons to 

participate in this rulemaking by 

submitting written comments, data, or 

views. Comments are specifically 

invited on the overall regulatory, 

aeronautical, economic, environmental, 

and energy-related aspects of the 

proposal. The most helpful comments 

reference a specific portion of the 

proposal, explain the reason for any 

recommended change, and include 

supporting data. To ensure the docket 

does not contain duplicate comments, 

commenters should submit only one 

time if comments are filed 

electronically, or commenters should 

send only one copy of written 

comments if comments are filed in 

writing. 

The FAA will file in the docket all 

comments it receives, as well as a report 

summarizing each substantive public 

contact with FAA personnel concerning 

this proposed rulemaking. Before acting 

on this proposal, the FAA will consider 

all comments it receives on or before the 

closing date for comments. The FAA 

will consider comments filed after the 

comment period has closed if it is 

possible to do so without incurring 

expense or delay. The FAA may change 

this proposal in light of the comments 

it receives. 

Privacy: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 

553(c), DOT solicits comments from the 

public to better inform its rulemaking 

process. DOT posts these comments, 

without edit, including any personal 

information the commenter provides, to 

www.regulations.gov, as described in

Incorporation by Reference 

VOR Federal airways are published in 

paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order JO 

7400.11, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, which is incorporated 

by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an 

annual basis. This document proposes 

to amend the current version of that 

order, FAA Order JO 7400.11H, dated 

August 11, 2023, and effective 

September 15, 2023. These updates 

would be published in the next update 

to FAA Order JO 7400.11. That order is 

publicly available as listed in the 

ADDRESSES section of this document. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A, 

B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic 

service routes, and reporting points. 

Background 

The FAA is planning to 

decommission the VOR portion of the 

Chanute, KS, VOR/DME in July 2024. 

The Chanute VOR is one of the 

candidate VORs identified for 

discontinuance by the FAA’s VOR MON 

program and listed in the Final policy 

statement notice, ‘‘Provision of 

Navigation Services for the Next 

Generation Air Transportation System 

(NextGen) Transition to PerformanceBased Navigation (PBN) (Plan for 

Establishing a VOR Minimum 

Operational Network),’’ published in the 

Federal Register on July 26, 2016 (81 FR 

48694), Docket No. FAA–2011–1082. 

Although the VOR portion of the 

Chanute VOR/DME is planned for 

decommissioning, the co-located DME 

portion of the NAVAID is being retained 

to support current and future NextGen 

PBN flight procedure requirements. 

The VOR Federal airways affected by 

the planned decommissioning of the 

Chanute VOR are V–131, V–132, V–307, 

and V–350. With the planned 

decommissioning of the Chanute VOR, 

the remaining ground-based NAVAID 

coverage in the area is insufficient to 

enable the continuity of the affected 

airways. As such, the FAA proposes 

modifications would result in a gap in 

airway V–132 and in a revocation of 

airways V–131, V–307, and V–350. 

To address the affected VOR Federal 

airway proposed amendment and 

revocations, instrument flight rules 

(IFR) traffic could use portions of 

adjacent VOR Federal airways V–73 and 

V–88 between Wichita, KS, and 

Springfield, MO; V–71 and V–234 

between Hutchison, KS, and 

Springfield, MO; and V–77 and V–532 

between Okmulgee, OK, and Topeka, 

KS, for conventional navigation or 

RNAV routes T–312 and T–413 for 

global positioning system-equipped 

aircraft. Additionally, IFR pilots 

equipped with RNAV capabilities could 

also navigate point-to-point using the 

existing NAVAIDs, Fixes, and 

waypoints (WP) that would remain in 

place to support continued operations 

through the affected area or receive air 

traffic control (ATC) radar vectors to fly 

around or through the affected area, 

upon request. Visual flight rules (VFR) 

pilots who elect to navigate via the 

affected VOR Federal airways could also 

take advantage of the adjacent airways 

or ATC services listed previously. 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 15, 2023 / Proposed Rules 78267 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 to amend VOR 

Federal airway V–132 and revoke VOR 

Federal airways V–131, V–307, and V– 

350 due to the planned 

decommissioning of the VOR portion of 

the Chanute, KS, VOR/DME NAVAID. 

The proposed airway actions are 

described below. 

V–131: V–131 currently extends 

between the Okmulgee, OK, VOR/DME 

and the Topeka, KS, VOR/Tactical Air 

Navigation (VORTAC). The FAA 

proposes to remove the airway segment 

between the Tulsa, OK, VORTAC and 

the Topeka VORTAC due to the planned 

decommissioning of the Chanute VOR. 

Additionally, the FAA proposes to 

remove the airway segment between the 

Okmulgee VOR/DME and the Tulsa 

VORTAC also since that airway segment 

overlaps V–161 which will remain 

charted and provide navigational 

guidance between the two NAVAIDs. As 

a result, the airway would be removed 

in its entirety. 

V–132: V–132 currently extends 

between the Medicine Bow, WY, VOR/ 

DME and the intersection of the Forney, 

MO, VOR 086° and Vichy, MO, VOR/ 

DME 156° radials (LENOX Fix), 

excluding that portion within restricted 

areas R–4501A, R–4501B, R–4501C, and 

R–4501D during their time of activation. 

The FAA proposes to remove the airway 

segment between the Hutchinson, KS, 

VOR/DME and the Springfield, MO, 

VORTAC. Additionally, the FAA 

proposes to exclude the airway portion 

within restricted areas R–4501E, R– 

4501F, and R–4501H during their times 

of activation since those restricted areas 

also fall within 4 nautical miles of the 

airway. As amended, the airway would 

be changed to extend between the 

Medicine Bow VOR/DME and the 

Hutchinson VOR/DME and between the 

Springfield VORTAC and the 

intersection of the Forney VOR 086° and 

Vichy VOR/DME 156° radials (LENOX 

Fix), excluding the portion within all 7 

restricted areas of the R–4501 restricted 

area complex. 

V–307: V–307 currently extends 

between the Chanute, KS, VOR/DME 

and the Emporia, KS, VORTAC. The 

FAA proposes to remove the airway in 

its entirety. 

V–350: V–350 currently extends 

between the Wichita, KS, VORTAC and 

the Chanute, KS, VOR/DME. The FAA 

proposes to remove the airway in its 

entirety. 

The NAVAID radials listed in the V– 

132 description in The Proposed 

Amendment section are unchanged and 

stated in degrees True north. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

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. 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 will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that this 

proposed 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. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.
