13666 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 47 / Thursday, March 10, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

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 EAV on their schedule to be 

decommissioned effective February 23, 

2023. A non-rulemaking study was 

conducted 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 airways A–5 and B– 

4 are dependent upon EAV and will 

result in the airways being unusable 

once the decommissioning occurs. The 

FAA is proposing to revoke A–5 and B– 

4 as a result. The revocation of A–5 is 

mitigated by United States Area 

Navigation (RNAV) route T–233 that 

currently overlays the route. To mitigate 

the loss of B–4, the FAA has a planned 

RNAV route T–374. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 to revoke Colored 

Federal airways A–5 and B–4 due to the 

decommissioning of EAV. 

A–5: A–5 currently navigates between 

the Ambler, AK, NDB and the 

Evansville, AK, NDB. The FAA 

proposes to revoke the route in its 

entirety. 

B–4: B–4 currently navigates between 

the Utopia Creek, AK, NDB via the 

Evansville, AK, NDB to the Yukon 

River, AK, NDB. The FAA proposes to 

revoke the route in its entirety. 

Colored Federal airways are 

published in paragraph 6009(c) and 

6009(d) 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 airways 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.

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 

expand the availability of RNAV in 

Alaska and improve the efficient flow of 

air traffic within the National Airspace 

System (NAS) by lessoning the 

dependency on ground based 

navigation.

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

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 

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 a larger and comprehensive Troute modernization project in the state 

of Alaska. The project mission statement 

states: ‘‘To modernize Alaska’s Air 

Traffic Service route structure using 

satellite based navigation Development 

of new T-routes and optimization of 

existing T-routes will enhance safety, 

increase efficiency and access, and will 

provide enroute continuity that is not 

subject to the restrictions associated 

with ground based airway navigation.’’ 

As part of this project, the FAA 

evaluated the existing Colored airway 

structure for: (a) Direct replacement (i.e., 

overlay) with a T-route that offers a 

similar or lower Minimum Enroute 

Altitude (MEA) or Global Navigation 

Satellite System Minimum Enroute 

Altitude (GNSS MEA); (b) the 

replacement of the Colored airway with 

a T-route in an optimized but similar 

geographic area, while retaining similar 

or lower MEA; or (c) removal with no 

route structure (T-route) restored in that 

area because the value was determined 

to be insignificant. 

The aviation industry/users have 

indicated a desire for the FAA to 

transition the Alaskan en route 

navigation structure away from 

dependency on Non-Directional 

Beacons (NDB), and move to develop 

and improve the RNAV route structure. 

To ensure proper connectivity to 

associated routes, the FAA has been 

developing waypoints (WP) to allow a 

smoother transition between airways. 

RNAV route T–226 requires WUTGA, 

AK, WP, to connect it to a future 

proposed route, T–386. While reviewing 

T–226, the FAA determined that the 

legal description contained in the FAA 

Order JO 7400.11F included WPs, 

FIDAL; ROBES; KLUNG; DOZEY; 

PAXON; DONEL; and HEXAX, that 

were not required since they are not 

considered turn points. In order to 

provide consistency throughout the 

Order, the FAA proposes to correct the 

legal description to follow the format 

provided in FAA Order JO 7400.2N, 

Procedures for Handling Airspace 

Matters. The proposal would also omit 

the connection point WUTGA, AK, WP, 

since it is not a turn point. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 to amend RNAV route 

T–226 in the vicinity of Central, AK in 

support of a large comprehensive Troute modernization project for the state 

of Alaska. The proposed amendment is 

described below. 

T–226: The FAA proposes to correct 

the legal description contained in the 

FAA Order JO 7400.11F by removing 

the Fixes that are not considered turn 

points. Those include: FIDAL; ROBES; 

KLUNG; DOZEY; PAXON; DONEL; and 

HEXAX. The rest of the route would 

remain unchanged. 

United States Area Navigation Routes 

are published in paragraph 6011 of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11F dated August 10, 

2021 and effective September 15, 2021,
