91294 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 223 / Tuesday, November 19, 2024 / Proposed Rules 

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 airway structure as 

necessary to preserve the safe and 

efficient flow of air traffic within the 

National Airspace System.

Incorporation by Reference 

Colored Federal Airways are 

published in paragraph 6009 and 

Alaskan VOR Federal Airways are 

published in paragraph 6010(b) 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 7400.11J, dated July 31, 2024, and 

effective September 15, 2024. 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 7400.11J lists Class A, 

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

service routes, and reporting points. 

Background 

In 2003, Congress enacted the Vision 

100-Century of Aviation 

Reauthorization Act (Pub. L. 108–176), 

which established a joint planning and 

development office in the FAA to 

manage the work related to the Next 

Generation Air Transportation System 

(NextGen). Today, NextGen is an 

ongoing FAA-led modernization of the 

nation’s air transportation system to 

make flying safer, more efficient, and 

more predictable. 

In support of NextGen, this proposal 

is part of an ongoing, large, and 

comprehensive airway modernization 

project in the state of Alaska. Part of this 

project is to transition the Alaskan en 

route navigation structure away from 

dependency on NDBs and move to 

develop and improve the RNAV route 

structure. The FAA is planning to 

decommission the Chinook, Fort Davis, 

Hotham, Oscarville, and Kachemak 

NDBs in Alaska. As a result, portions of 

G–8, G–10, G–12, and R–99 will become 

unusable. Additionally, B–27 and V– 

619 will become unusable. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 to by amending 

Colored Federal Airways G–8, G–10, G– 

12, and R–99. Additionally, the FAA is 

proposing to revoke B–27 and V–619 in 

their entirety in Alaska. These proposed 

actions are due to the decommissioning 

of the Chinook, Fort Davis, Hotham, 

Oscarville, and Kachemak 

Nondirectional Radio Beacons (NDB) in 

Alaska. 

G–8: G–8 currently extends between 

the Shemya, AK, NDB and the 

Kachemak, AK, NDB. The FAA is 

proposing to revoke a segment of G–8 

between the Elfee, AK, NDB and the 

Kachemak NDB. The decommissioning 

of the Chinook and Kachemak NDBs 

will render these segments unusable. 

United States Area Navigation (RNAV) 

Route T–271 and V–456 serve as 

mitigations as they overlay the routing 

of G–8 between the Cold Bay, AK, VOR/ 

Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) and 

the King Salmon, AK, VORTAC. V–321 

is a mitigation for routing between the 

King Salmon VORTAC and the 

Kachemak NDB. Additionally, T–376 

serves as a mitigation between the 

Iliamma area to the Homer, AK, VOR/ 

distance measuring equipment (VOR/ 

DME). As amended, G–8 would extend 

between the Shemya NDB and the Elfee 

NDB. 

G–10: G–10 currently extends 

between the Cape Newenham, AK, NDB 

and the Kachemak NDB. The FAA is 

proposing to revoke a segment of G–10 

between the Woody Island NDB and the 

Kachemak NDB. The decommissioning 

of the Kachemak NDB will render this 

segment of G–10 unusable. As a 

mitigation, T–371 and V–438 are 

available, overlaying or paralleling this 

track of G–10. As amended, G–10 would 

extend between the Cape Newenham 

NDB and the Woody Island NDB. 

G–12: G–12 currently extends 

between the Chinook, AK, NDB and the 

Elfee, AK, NDB. The FAA is proposing 

to revoke a segment of G–12 between 

the Chinook NDB and the Port Heiden, 

AK, NDB/DME. The decommissioning 

of the Chinook NDB will render this 

segment of this route unusable. T–453 is 

in place as a mitigation, overlaying the 

existing G–12 routing. As amended, G– 

12 would extend between the Port 

Heiden NDB/DME and the Elfee NDB. 

R–99: R–99 currently extends between 

the St. Paul Island, AK, NDB and the 

Kachemak, AK, NDB. The FAA is 

proposing to revoke a segment of R–99 

between the Dutch Harbor, AK, NDB 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 223 / Tuesday, November 19, 2024 / Proposed Rules 91295 

and the Kachemak NDB. The 

decommissioning of the Chinook and 

Kachemak NDBs will render this 

segment unusable. As mitigations for 

routing, T–390 overlays R–99 between 

the Dutch Harbor and Chinook NDBs 

and V–427 overlays R–99 between the 

Chinook and Iliamna NDB. 

Additionally, T–376 serves as a 

mitigation for routing between the 

Iliamna and Homer area. As amended, 

R–99 would extend between the Port 

Heiden and Dutch Harbor NDBs. 

B–27: B–27 currently extends between 

the Woody Island, AK, NDB and the 

Hotham, AK, NDB. The FAA is 

proposing to revoke this airway in its 

entirety due to the decommissioning of 

the Chinook, Oscarville, Fort Davis, and 

the Hotham NDBs. As mitigations for 

routing, T–368 exits between the King 

Salmon, AK, VORTAC and the Kodiak, 

AK, VOR/DME, T–373 between the 

Bethel, AK, VORTAC and KOWOK, AK, 

Fix, and T–252 between the Nome, AK, 

VOR/DME and the Kotzebue, AK, VOR/ 

DME. Additionally, V–506 is available 

and closely follows the current track of 

B–27. 

V–619: V–619 currently extends 

between the Port Heiden, AK, NDB/ 

DME and the Dillingham, AK, VOR/ 

DME. The FAA is proposing to revoke 

this airway in its entirety due to the 

decommissioning of the Chinook, AK, 

NDB. Mitigations to the loss of this 

route are T–345 between the Port 

Heiden NDB/DME and the King Salmon, 

AK, VORTAC, V–453 between the King 

Salmon VORTAC and the Dillingham 

VOR/DME, and V–351 between the Port 

Heiden NDB/DME and the Dillingham 

VOR/DME. 

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.
