30032 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 124 / Wednesday, June 27, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 

ACTION: Final rule, correction. 

SUMMARY: This action corrects a final 

rule published in the Federal Register 

of May 29, 2018, that amends five VHF 

omnidirectional range (VOR) Federal 

airways (V–12, V–214, V340, V–467, 

and V517) and one low altitude area 

navigation (RNAV) route (T–213). This 

action removes V–467 as the FAA 

inadvertently listed the route as being 

amended when, in fact, it already has 

been removed in a previous rulemaking. 

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC 

September 13, 2018. The Director of the 

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under 

Title 1, Code of Federal Regulations, 

part 51, subject to the annual revision of 

FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

The FAA published a final rule in the 

Federal Register (83 FR 24403; May 29, 

2018) for Docket No. FAA–2017–1144 

amending VOR Federal airways V–12, 

V–214, V–340, V–467, and V–517, and 

low altitude RNAV route T–213. 

Subsequent to publication, the FAA 

identified that one VOR Federal airway, 

V–467, already has been removed in a 

previous rulemaking (83 FR 13404; 

March 29, 2018). This action removes 

reference to V–467 in the preamble and 

the regulatory text. 

Correction to Final Rule 

Accordingly, pursuant to the 

authority delegated to me, Modification 

of Air Traffic Service (ATS) Routes in 

the Vicinity of Richmond, IN, published

467 extends between the Richmond, IN, 

VORTAC and the Detroit, MI, VOR/ 

DME. This rule removes the airway 

segment between the Richmond, IN, 

VORTAC and the Waterville, OH, VOR/ 

DME. The unaffected portion of the 

existing airway remains as charted.’’ 

■ On page 22404, column 3, lines 39 

and 40, under Paragraph 6010(a) 

Domestic VOR Federal Airways, remove 

the text that reads: 

‘‘V–467 [Amended]

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 

route structure in the National Airspace 

System as necessary to preserve the safe 

and efficient flow of air traffic. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register for Docket No. FAA–2018–0222 

(83 FR 12885; March 26, 2018) to amend 

VOR Federal airway V–316 due to the 

planned decommissioning of the 

Newberry, MI, VOR/DME. Interested 

parties were invited to participate in 

this rulemaking effort by submitting 

written comments on the proposal. No 

comments were received. 

VOR Federal airways are published in 

paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order 

7400.11B dated August 3, 2017, and 

effective September 15, 2017, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The VOR Federal airways listed in 

this document would be subsequently 

published in the Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.11B, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, 

and effective September 15, 2017. FAA 

Order 7400.11B is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists 

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

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 124 / Wednesday, June 27, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 30033 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending Title 14, Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

to modify VOR Federal airway V–316 

due to the planned decommissioning of 

the Newberry, MI, VOR/DME. The V– 

316 change is described below. 

V–316: V–316 extends between the 

Ironwood, MI, VOR/Tactical Air 

Navigation (VORTAC) and the Sudbury, 

ON, Canada, VOR/DME, excluding the 

airspace within Canada. The airway 

segment between the Sawyer, MI, VOR/ 

DME and the Sault Ste Marie, MI, VOR/ 

DME is removed. The unaffected 

portions of the existing airway remain 

as charted. 

The 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 of modifying VOR Federal airway 

V–316 near Newberry, MI qualifies for 

categorical exclusion under the National 

Environmental Policy Act and its 

implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 

1500, and in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures, Paragraph 5– 

6.5a, which categorically excludes from 

further environmental impact review 

rulemaking actions that designate or 

modify classes of airspace areas, 

airways, routes, and reporting points 

(see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of 

Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; 

Air Traffic Service Routes; and 

Reporting Points). As such, this action 

is not expected to result in any 

potentially significant environmental 

impacts. In accordance with FAA Order 

1050.1F, paragraph 5–2 regarding 

Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA 

has reviewed this action for factors and 

circumstances in which a normally 

categorically excluded action may have 

a significant environmental impact 

requiring further analysis. The FAA has 

determined that no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment or environmental impact 

study.

Amendment of Restricted Area 

R–2302; Flagstaff, AZ 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action changes the time 

of designation and controlling agency of 

restricted area R–2302, Flagstaff AZ. 

The FAA is taking this administrative 

action in response to the United States 

Army’s limited utilization of the 

airspace while updating the responsible 

controlling agency. There are no 

changes to the boundaries; designated 

altitudes; or activities conducted within 

the affected restricted area.

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 

administratively amends the time of 

designation and controlling agency for 

restricted area R–2302, Flagstaff, AZ. 

History 

The FAA evaluates utilization of 

special use airspace annually. For the 

past five years the utilization of 

restricted area R–2302 has declined 

steadily. The FAA in coordination with 

the United States Army, has concluded 

the restricted area is still needed, but at
