RIN 2120–AA66 

Amendment of VOR Federal Airways; 

Northeastern United States 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action amends VOR 

Federal Airways V–31, V–36, V–98, V– 

164 and V–252 by removing from the 

route descriptions, those segments that 

extend into and/or through Canadian 

airspace. This action is necessary to 

match route changes made by Canada as 

part of the Windsor-Toronto-Montreal 

(W–T–M) project. The route segments in 

Canada are no longer in effect; therefore, 

the United States has issued Notices to 

Airmen (NOTAM) identifying the 

affected segments as ‘‘not authorized’’ 

pending the deletion of the segments 

from the route descriptions through this 

rulemaking action. 

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, August 

20, 2015. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order 7400.9 and publication of 

conforming amendments. 

ADDRESSES: FAA Order 7400.9Y, 

Airspace Designations and Reporting 

Points, and subsequent amendments can

also available for inspection at the

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 is merely an 

editorial change to the legal descriptions 

of V–31, V–36, V–98, V–164 and V–252 

to reflect changes in the Canadian route 

structure. 

Background 

This action amends VOR Federal 

airways V–31, V–36, V–98, V–164 and 

V–252 as a result of the WindsorToronto-Montreal (W–T–M) and 

Northeast United States Cross-border 

Airspace Modernization and Redesign 

initiative. NavCanada, in an effort to 

transition to an Area Navigation (RNAV) 

route system, removed a number of 

conventional airways, many of which 

crossed the United States/Canadian 

border. The airways listed above with 

the exception of V–98 were part of that 

initiative that became effective on 

November 13, 2014 (79 FR 57758). 

Canadian segments of V–98 were 

subsequently removed by Canada in 

January 2015. Coordination for the 

modification of the Federal airways 

listed above was not completed in time 

for inclusion in the November 13, 2014, 

docket action. Currently, the United 

States has issued regulatory Notices to 

Airman (NOTAM) classifying the 

segments of the above listed airways 

lying within Canadian airspace as ‘‘not 

authorized.’’ 

This action is required to match the 

changes in the Canadian route structure. 

It will enhance safety within the 

National Airspace System and will 

facilitate a seamless air traffic route 

system between the two countries. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.9Y, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, 

and effective September 15, 2014. FAA 

Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

final rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists 

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

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

removing those former route segments 

in Canadian airspace from the 

descriptions of VOR Federal airways V– 

31, V–36, V–98, V–164 and V–252. This 

action aligns the United States airways 

with route changes instituted by Canada 

as part of NavCanada’s W–T–M project. 

The following is a summary of the 

specific changes by route. Where new 

navigation aid radials are designated, 

both True and Magnetic degrees are 

stated. Otherwise, only True degrees are 

shown. 

V–31 The segment between the 

intersection of the Rochester 279° and 

the Toronto, Canada 150° radials is 

removed and a new end point formed by 

the intersection of the Rochester 279° 

and the Buffalo, NY 023°(T)/031°(M) 

radials is inserted. 

V–36 The segments between Thunder 

Bay, ON, Canada and the intersection of 

the Toronto and Buffalo radials is 

removed, The amended route extends 

between Buffalo, NY and the 

intersection of the LaGuardia, NY 310° 

and the Stillwater, NJ 043° radials as 

currently published. 

V–98 The segments between Windsor, 

ON, Canada and St. Jean, PQ, Canada 

are removed. 

V–164 The segment between Toronto, 

ON, Canada and Buffalo, NY is 

removed. The amended route extends 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 110 / Tuesday, June 9, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 32465 

between Buffalo and East Texas, PA as 

currently published. 

V–252 The segment between Toronto, 

ON, Canada and the intersection of the 

Toronto 116° and the Geneseo, NY 305° 

radials is removed. A new start point 

formed by the intersection of the 

Buffalo, NY 023°(T)/031°(M) and the 

Geneseo 305° radials is inserted. The 

remainder of the route to Dupont, DE, is 

unchanged, 

In the regulatory text, below, only 

True degrees are listed when defining 

radials. 

Since this action involves removing 

from the descriptions of VOR Federal 

airways V–31, V–36, V–98, V–164 and 

V–252, those route segments in Canada 

that have previously been cancelled, I 

find that notice and public procedures 

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. 

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. Therefore, this regulation: (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. 

Domestic VOR Federal Airways are 

published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA 

Order 7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014, 

and effective September 15, 2014, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The VOR Federal Airways listed in 

this document will be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action qualifies for categorical exclusion 

under the National Environmental 

Policy Act in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures, paragraph 

311k. This airspace action consists of 

editorial changes only and is not 

expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts, and 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment.
