Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) DOT.

# ACTION:

Final rule; withdrawal.

# SUMMARY:

                        This action withdraws the final rule published in the                         **Federal Register**                         on March 21, 2022, amending VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airways V-6, V-10, V-30, V-100, and V-233 in the vicinity of Litchfield, MI, due to the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Litchfield, MI, VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) navigational aid. Unanticipated issues affecting the completion of related VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program instrument procedure amendments and the associated flight inspection activities required to adopt those amendments have made this withdrawal action necessary.                    

# DATES:

As of April 7, 2022, the final rule published on March 21, 2022 (87 FR 15879) is withdrawn.

## History

                    The FAA published a final rule in the                     **Federal Register**                     for Docket No. FAA-2021-0596 (87 FR 15879; March 21, 2022) amending VOR Federal airways V-6, V-10, V-30, V-100, and V-233 due to the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Litchfield, MI, VOR/DME. The effective date of that rule is May 19, 2022. Subsequent to the final rule, unanticipated requirements and issues affecting the completion of related instrument procedure amendments and the associated flight inspection activities required to adopt those amendments by the published effective date have been identified. As a result, the planned Litchfield, MI, VOR decommissioning has been slipped to April 20, 2023.                

## FAA's Conclusions

The FAA has reviewed the Litchfield, MI, VOR decommissioning project and determined additional time is required to complete the related instrument procedure amendments and associated flight inspection activities to ensure an efficient implementation and integration with other ongoing VOR MON program actions. Therefore, the final rule is being withdrawn.

The existing VOR Federal airways (V-6, V-10, V-30, V-100, and V-233) addressed in the final rule remain unchanged.

The FAA will publish a new notice of proposed rulemaking action at a later date, using a new airspace docket number, to coincide with the slipped Litchfield, MI, VOR decommissioning now planned for April 20, 2023.
