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 

Air Traffic Service (ATS) route structure 

as necessary to preserve the safe and 

efficient flow of air traffic within the 

National Airspace System. 

History 

The FAA published a NPRM for 

Docket No. FAA 2023–1147 in the 

Federal Register (88 FR 54251; August 

10, 2023), proposing to amend V–333 

and to revoke V–401 in Alaska. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking effort by 

submitting written comments on the 

proposal to the FAA. No comments 

were received. 

Incorporation by Reference 

Alaskan VOR Federal airways are 

published in paragraph 6010 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 amends the current version of 

that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11H, 

dated August 11, 2023, and effective 

September 15, 2023. FAA Order JO 

7400.11H is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. These amendments will be 

published in the next update to FAA 

Order JO 7400.11. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A, 

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

service routes, and reporting points. 

The Rule 

This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by 

amending Alaskan VOR Federal Airway 

V–333 and revoking Alaskan VOR 

Federal Airway V–401, in its entirety, in 

the state of Alaska. 

V–333: Prior to this final rule, Alaskan 

VOR Federal Airway V–333 extended 

between the Hooper Bay, AK, VOR/ 

Distance Measuring Equipment (DME), 

the Nome, AK, VOR/DME, and the 

Shishmaref, AK, Nondirectional Radio 

Beacon (NBD). The airway segment 

between the Nome VOR/DME and the 

Shishmaref NBD is removed. As 

amended, the airway is now changed to 

extend between the Hooper Bay VOR/ 

DME and the Nome VOR/DME. 

V–401: Prior to this final rule, Alaskan 

VOR Federal Airway V–401 extended 

between the Ambler, AK, NDB, the 

Kotzebue, AK, VOR/DME, and the 

Shishmaref, AK, NDB. The airway is 

removed in its entirety. 

The identifier V–333 is also used as 

an identifier for Domestic VOR Federal 

Airway V–333 in the vicinity of Rome, 

GA. The identifier V–401 is also used as 

an identifier for Domestic VOR Federal 

Airway V–401 in the vicinity of 

Worland, WY. This airspace action only 

pertains to the Alaskan V–333 and V– 

401. The V–333 near Rome, GA and V– 

401 near Worland, WY, are not affected 

by this airspace action.

12954 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 35 / Wednesday, February 21, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

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 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 

airspace action of amending Alaskan 

VOR Federal Airway V–333 and 

revoking Alaskan VOR Federal Airway 

V–401 in Alaska qualifies for categorical 

exclusion under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 

4321 et seq.) 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), and paragraph 5–6.5i, 

establishment of new or revised air 

traffic control procedures conducted at 

3,000 feet or more above ground level 

(AGL); procedures conducted below 

3,000 feet AGL that do not cause traffic 

to be routinely routed over noise 

sensitive areas; modifications to 

currently approved procedures 

conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do 

not significantly increase noise over 

noise sensitive areas, and increases in 

minimum altitudes and landing 

minima. For modifications to air traffic 

procedures at or above 3,000 feet AGL, 

the Noise Screening Tool (NST) or other 

FAA-approved environmental screening 

methodology should be applied. 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. Accordingly, the FAA has 

determined that no extraordinary 

circumstances exist that warrant 

preparation of an environmental 

assessment or environmental impact 

study.
