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 

modify the route structure as necessary 

to preserve the safe and efficient flow of 

air traffic within the National Airspace 

System (NAS). 

Comments Invited 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in this proposed rulemaking 

by submitting such written data, views, 

or arguments as they may desire. 

Comments that provide the factual basis 

supporting the views and suggestions 

presented are particularly helpful in 

developing reasoned regulatory 

decisions on the proposal. Comments 

are specifically invited on the overall 

regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 

environmental, and energy-related 

aspects of the proposal. 

Communications should identify both 

docket numbers (FAA Docket No. FAA– 

2022–0162; Airspace Docket No. 22– 

AAL–12) and be submitted in triplicate 

to the Docket Management Facility (see 

ADDRESSES section for address and 

phone number). You may also submit 

comments through the internet at 

https://www.regulations.gov. 

Commenters wishing the FAA to 

acknowledge receipt of their comments 

on this action must submit with those 

comments a self-addressed, stamped 

postcard on which the following 

statement is made: ‘‘Comments to FAA 

Docket No. FAA–2022–0162; Airspace 

Docket No. 22–AAL–12.’’ The postcard 

will be date/time stamped and returned 

to the commenter. 

All communications received on or 

before the specified comment closing 

date will be considered before taking 

action on the proposed rule. The 

proposal contained in this action may 

be changed in light of comments 

received. All comments submitted will 

be available for examination in the 

public docket both before and after the 

comment closing date. A report 

summarizing each substantive public 

contact with FAA personnel concerned 

with this rulemaking will be filed in the 

docket.

khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 44 / Monday, March 7, 2022 / Proposed Rules 12631 

dated August 10, 2021, and effective 

September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO 

7400.11F is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F lists 

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

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

Background 

The aviation industry/users have 

indicated a desire for the FAA to 

transition the Alaskan en route 

navigation structure away from the 

dependency on NDBs. The advances in 

technology have allowed for alternate 

navigation methods to support 

decommissioning of high cost ground 

navigation equipment. The FAA has 

included SMA and VTR on their 

schedule to be decommissioned 

effective February 23, 2023. A nonrulemaking study was conducted in 

2021 in accordance with FAA Order JO 

7400.2, Procedures for Handling 

Airspace Matters. As a result, the FAA 

received no objections to its removal. 

Colored Federal airway G–15 is 

dependent upon SMA and VTR and will 

result in the airway being unusable once 

the decommissioning occurs. The FAA 

is proposing to revoke G–15 as a result. 

To mitigate the loss of G–15, the FAA 

has a planned United States Navigation 

(RNAV) route, T–286, and VHF 

Omnidirectional Radar (VOR) Federal 

airway V–510 which overlays the 

segment of the route between the Anvik 

Airport and the McGrath Airport in 

Alaska. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 to revoke Colored 

Federal airway G–15 due to the 

decommissioning of SMA and VTR. 

Colored Federal airway G–15 

currently navigates between the St. 

Mary’s, AK, NDB and the Takotna River, 

AK, NDB. The FAA proposes to revoke 

G–15 in its entirety. 

Colored Federal airways are 

published in paragraph 6009(a) of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11F dated August 10, 

2021 and effective September 15, 2021, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Colored Federal airway 

listed in this document would be 

published subsequently in FAA Order 

JO 7400.11. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on 

September 15. 

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 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 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.

Nonattainment New Source Review 

Requirements for 2015 8-Hour Ozone 

National Ambient Air Quality Standard 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule and withdrawal 

of a prior proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a 

state implementation plan (SIP) revision 

submitted by the Maryland Department 

of the Environment (MDE) on behalf of 

the State of Maryland (Maryland). This 

revision certifies that Maryland’s 

existing nonattainment new source 

review (NNSR) program, covering the 

Baltimore nonattainment area, the 

Philadelphia-Wilmington-Atlantic City 

nonattainment area, and the 

Washington, DC nonattainment area for 

the 2008 8-hour ozone national ambient 

air quality standards (NAAQS), is at 

least as stringent as applicable Federal 

requirements. EPA is proposing to 

approve this revision in accordance 

with the requirements of the Clean Air 

Act (CAA). Additionally, EPA is 

withdrawing a prior proposed approval 

of a related Maryland SIP submittal 

regarding ozone interprecursor trading. 

DATES: The proposed rule published on 

October 27, 2020 (85 FR 68029) is 

withdrawn as of March 7, 2022. Written 

comments on the proposed approval 

must be received on or before April 6, 

2022.
