RIN 2120–AA66 

Establishment, Modification and 

Revocation of VOR Federal Airways; 

East Central United States 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action establishes 14 

VOR Federal Airways (V–176, V–383, 

V–396, V–406, V–410, V–418, V–426, 

V–486, V–416, V–467, V–542, V–584, 

V–586, and V–609); modifies 12 VOR 

Federal Airways (V–14, V–26, V–40, V–

72, V–75, V–90, V–96, V–103, V–116, 

V–297, V–435, and V–526); and revokes 

one VOR Federal Airway (V–42) over 

the East Central United States in 

support of the Midwest Airspace 

Enhancement Plan (MASE). It should be 

noted that the FAA is withdrawing the 

proposal to establish VOR Federal 

Airway V–414 and delaying action to 

establish V–65 and modify V–133. 

Additionally, editorial changes are 

made to route numbers and the order of 

route elements for V–176, V–383, V–

410, V–426, V–467, and V–486. The 

FAA is taking this action to enhance 

safety and to improve the efficient use 

of the navigable airspace assigned to the 

Chicago, Cleveland, and Indianapolis 

Air Route Traffic Control Centers 

(ARTCC). 

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, March 

15, 2007. 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: 

History 

On June 16, 2006, the FAA published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to establish 16 

VOR Federal Airways (V–65, V–176, V–

383, V–396, V–406, V–410, V–414, V–

416, V–418, V–426, V–467, V–486, V–

542, V–584, V–586, and V–609); modify 

13 VOR Federal Airways (V–14, V–26, 

V–40, V–72, V–75, V–90, V–96, V–103, 

V–116, V–133, V–297, V–435, and V–

526); and revoke one VOR Federal 

Airway (V–42) (71 FR 34854). 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal. No comments were received 

objecting to the proposal. 

Subsequent to the issuance of the 

notice, the FAA decided to withdraw 

the proposal to establish V–414 because 

further evaluation revealed that the 

route did not intersect United States 

airspace. Additionally, the FAA elected 

not to include the establishment V–65 

and modification of V–133 in this 

action; these proposed airways will be 

addressed in a future final rule. 

It should be noted that, due to format 

requirements, editorial changes were 

made to some of the route numbers and 

route descriptions listed in the notice of 

proposed rulemaking. Specifically, V–

176 was renumbered as V–383 and V–

383 was renumbered as V–176. Also, the 

order of route elements was reversed in 

the descriptions for V–383 (proposed as 

V–176), V–410, V–426, V–467, and V–

486. 

VOR Federal Airways are published 

in paragraph 6010 of FAA Order 

7400.9P dated September 1, 2006, and 

effective September 15, 2006, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The VOR Federal Airways listed in 

this document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to 

establish 14 VOR Federal Airways (V–

176, V–383, V–396, V–406, V–410, V–

418, V–426, V–486, V–416, V–467, V–

542, V–584, V–586, and V–609); modify 

12 VOR Federal Airways (V–14, V–26, 

V–40, V–72, V–75, V–90, V–96, V–103, 

V–116, V–297, V–435, and V–526); and 

revoke one VOR Federal Airway (V–42) 

over the East Central United States 

within the airspace assigned to the 

Chicago, Cleveland, and Indianapolis 

ARTCCs. This action enhances safety 

and facilitates the more flexible and 

efficient use of the navigable airspace. 

Further, this action enhances the 

management of aircraft operations 

within the Chicago, Cleveland, and 

Indianapolis ARTCCs’ areas of 

responsibility. 

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. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environment Policy 

Act in accordance with 311a and 311b., 

FAA Order 1050.1E, ‘‘Environmental 

Impacts: Policies and Procedures’’. This 

airspace action is not expected to cause 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 11 / Thursday, January 18, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 2183 

any potentially significant environment 

impacts, and no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of environmental 

assessment.
