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 

support the route structure in the 

Mattoon and Charleston, IL, area as 

necessary to preserve the safe and 

efficient flow of air traffic within the 

National Airspace System (NAS). 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register for Docket No. FAA–2018–0219 

(83 FR 12883; March 26, 2018) to amend 

VOR Federal airways V–72 and V–429 

due to the planned decommissioning of 

the Mattoon, IL, VOR. Interested parties 

were invited to participate in this 

rulemaking effort by submitting written 

comments on the proposal. One 

comment was received from the Illinois 

Department of Transportation (IDOT). 

In their comment, IDOT 

recommended the FAA amend the 

V–429 airway segment between the 

Bible Grove, IL, VOR/Tactical Air 

Navigation (VORTAC), Mattoon, IL, 

VOR/DME, and Champaign, IL, 

VORTAC by establishing a segment 

running directly between the Bible 

Grove VORTAC and Champaign 

VORTAC. They argued the 

discontinuity of the FAA proposal to 

remove the V–429 airway segment 

between the Bible Grove and 

Champaign VORTACs does not make 

effective use of the airspace in the area. 

In support of their recommendation, 

they noted the Bible Grove and 

Champaign VORTACs are located 68 

nautical miles (NM) apart and 

establishing an airway segment between 

the two NAVAIDs is within the 

associated standard service volume (40 

NM each) with a total segment service 

volume of 80 NM. 

In support of Next Generation Air 

Transportation System (NextGen) 

initiatives aimed at modernizing the 

NAS to make flying safer, more efficient, 

and more predictable, the FAA is 

working to reduce the NAS dependency 

on its conventional navigational 

infrastructure and transition to a 

performance based navigation (PBN) 

infrastructure. To that end, as part of a 

NAS Efficient Streamlined Services 

Initiative, the VOR MON program is 

working to gradually reduce the number 

of conventional legacy NAVAIDs while 

more efficient PBN area navigation 

(RNAV) air traffic service (ATS) routes 

and procedures are being implemented 

throughout the NAS. As such, the FAA’s 

goal is to provide additional RNAV ATS 

routes, point-to-point navigation where 

operationally beneficial, and to remove 

most conventional ATS routes, except 

where needed in mountainous regions 

and areas without radar coverage. 

As noted in the NPRM, the FAA 

identified available mitigations to 

overcome the proposed gaps in the 

V–72 and V–429 ATS routes. Instrument 

flight rules (IFR) traffic could use 

adjacent VOR Federal airways 

(including V–5, V–7, V–69, V–171, 

V–191, V–192, V–262, and V–586) to 

circumnavigate the affected area; file 

point to point through the affected area 

using fixes that will remain in place; or 

receive air traffic control (ATC) radar 

vectors through the area. And, visual 

flight rules (VFR) pilots who elect to 

navigate via V–72 and V–429 through 

the affected area could also take 

advantage of the adjacent VOR Federal 

airways or ATC services. Additionally, 

the FAA planned to retain the Mattoon 

DME facility, charted as a DME facility, 

using the existing ‘‘MTO’’ three-letter 

identifier. 

In consideration of IDOT’s 

recommendation, the FAA agrees that 

amending V–429 by establishing an 

airway segment directly between the 

Bible Grove and Champaign legacy 

VORTACs would continue to provide an 

uninterrupted, conventional ATS route 

between the Cape Girardeau, MO, VOR/ 

DME and Joliet, IL, VORTAC. However, 

the FAA also notes that IDOT’s 

recommendation does not support the 

FAA’s NextGen efforts to modernize the 

NAS and that the mitigations identified 

in the NPRM provide alternatives for 

pilots to overcome and navigate through 

the ATS route gaps in the Charleston 

and Mattoon area that are successfully 

used in other parts of the NAS. As such, 

the FAA is moving forward with the 

ATS route amendments as proposed in 

the NPRM. 

Although the determination is to 

proceed with the amendments to V–72 

and V–429 addressed in the NPRM, the 

FAA is in the planning stages for 

establishing a PBN area navigation 

(RNAV) T-route that closely mirrors the 

ATS route segment recommended by 

IDOT, beginning near the Bible Grove 

VORTAC and proceeding northbound to 

near the Champaign VORTAC. Once all 

the coordination and development 

actions for establishing that RNAV Troute are completed, the FAA will 

propose the new T-route in a separate 

rulemaking action. 

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 will be subsequently 

published in the Order.

daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 174 / Friday, September 7, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 45339 

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, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

The FAA is amending Title 14, Code 

of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 

by modifying the descriptions of VOR 

Federal airways V–72 and V–429 due to 

the planned decommissioning of the 

Mattoon, IL, VOR. The VOR Federal 

airway changes are described below. 

V–72: V–72 extends between the 

Razorback, AR, VOR/Tactical Air 

Navigation (VORTAC) and the 

Bloomington, IL, VOR/DME. The airway 

segment between the Bible Grove, IL, 

VORTAC and the Bloomington, IL, 

VOR/DME is removed. The unaffected 

portions of the existing airway remain 

as charted. 

V–429: V–429 extends between the 

Cape Girardeau, MO, VOR/DME and the 

Joliet, IL, VORTAC. The airway segment 

between the Bible Grove, IL, VORTAC 

and the Champaign, IL, VORTAC is 

removed. The unaffected portions of the 

existing airway remain as charted. 

All radials in the route descriptions 

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 

airways V–72 and V–429 in the vicinity 

of Mattoon and Charleston, IL, qualifies 

for categorical exclusion under the 

National Environmental Policy Act, 42 

U.S.C. 4321, 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.
