Incorporation by Reference 

Jet Routes are published in paragraph 

2004, Canadian Area Navigation Routes 

(Q-routes) are published in paragraph 

2007, VOR Federal Airways are 

published in paragraph 6010(a), and 

Canadian Area Navigation Routes (Troutes) are published in paragraph 6013 

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 

NAV CANADA, which operates 

Canada’s civil air navigation service, is 

implementing changes to Canada’s 

instrument flight rules (IFR) navigation 

infrastructure as part of their NAVAID 

Modernization Program. This 

modernization program is designed to 

enhance the efficiency of Canada’s 

flying operations by taking advantage of 

performance-based navigation and 

RNAV avionics capabilities. The 

changes being implemented by NAV 

CANADA affect Jet Routes J–483, J–538, 

and J–562, and VOR Federal Airway V– 

129. These Air Traffic Service (ATS) 

routes provide cross-border connectivity 

between the U.S. and Canada. 

NAV CANADA has decommissioned 

the Sioux Narrows, ON, VOR/DME and 

plans to decommission the Lumsden, 

SK, VORTAC and Brandon, MB, 

VORTAC as part of their NAVAID 

Modernization Program. As a result, 

amendments to J–538 and V–129, and 

revocation of J–483 and J–562 in U.S. 

airspace are required due to the loss of 

navigational guidance provided by the 

Sioux Narrows, ON; Lumsden, SK; and 

Brandon, MB, VORs and to match 

airway changes NAV CANADA is 

making within Canadian airspace. NAV 

CANADA has established Canadian 

RNAV Routes Q–828 in the highaltitude enroute structure and T–797 in 

the low-altitude enroute structure 

already and plans to establish Canadian 

RNAV Routes Q–945 and Q–971 in the 

high-altitude enroute structure as 

mitigations for the affected ATS routes 

within Canadian and U.S. airspace. 

To mitigate the proposed loss of J–538 

and V–129 route segments and proposed 

revocation of J–483 and J–562, and to 

support NAV CANADA’s planned 

RNAV route replacements for these 

affected ATS routes, the FAA must 

establish portions of Canadian RNAV 

Routes Q–828, Q–945, Q–971, and T– 

797 within U.S. airspace. The new 

Canadian RNAV route segments in U.S. 

airspace would provide airway 

continuity with NAV CANADA’s RNAV 

Routes that are established or being 

established within Canadian airspace 

and provide cross-border airway 

connectivity between the U.S. and 

Canada. Existing NAVAIDs that provide 

conventional enroute structure in the 

affected area are limited and alternate, 

parallel, or adjacent Jet Routes or VOR 

Federal Airways to use as mitigations 

are not available. To compensate for the 

loss of the conventional enroute 

structure, IFR pilots with RNAVequipped aircraft could navigate using 

the Canadian RNAV Routes proposed in 

this action or fly point-to-point using 

the Fixes and Waypoints (WP) that 

would remain in place. Additionally, 

IFR pilots could request air traffic 

control (ATC) radar vectors to fly 

through or around the affected areas. 

Visual flight rules pilots who elect to 

navigate via airways could also take 

advantage of the ATC services listed 

previously. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing to amend 14 

CFR part 71 by amending Jet Route J– 

538 and VOR Federal Airway V–129; 

establishing Canadian RNAV Routes Q– 

828, Q–945, Q–971, and T–797 in U.S. 

airspace; and revoking Jet Routes J–483 

and J–562. The FAA is proposing this 

action due to the decommissioning of 

the Sioux Narrows, ON, Canada, VOR/ 

DME and the planned decommissioning 

of the Lumsden, SK, Canada, VORTAC 

and Brandon, MB, Canada, VORTAC by 

NAV CANADA in support of their 

NAVAID Modernization Program. The 

proposed ATS route actions are 

described below. 

J–483: J–483 currently extends 

between the Minot, ND, VOR/DME and 

the Lumsden, SK, Canada, VORTAC. 

The airspace within Canada is excluded. 

The FAA proposes to remove the route 

in its entirety. 

J–538: J–538 currently extends 

between the Sioux Narrows, ON, 

Canada, VOR/DME and the Badger, WI, 

VOR/DME. The airspace within Canada 

is excluded. The FAA proposes to 

remove the route segment between the 

Sioux Narrows, ON, VOR/DME and the 

Duluth, MN, VORTAC. As amended, the 

route would be changed to extend 

between the Duluth VORTAC and the 

Badger VOR/DME. 

J–562: J–562 currently extends 

between the Dickinson, ND, VORTAC 

and the Brandon, MB, Canada, 

VORTAC. The airspace within Canada 

is excluded. The FAA proposes to 

remove the route in its entirety. 

Q–828: Q–828 is a new Canadian 

RNAV route proposed to be established 

within U.S. airspace extending between 

the Duluth, MN, VORTAC and the 

FARID, MN, WP that would replace the 

‘‘CFCJN’’ Computer Navigation Fix 

(CNF) on the U.S./Canada border. The 

new RNAV route would mitigate the 

proposed J–538 amendment and provide 

route continuity and cross-border 

connectivity with the RNAV Route Q– 

828 established by NAV CANADA 

within Canadian airspace. 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
97576 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 236 / Monday, December 9, 2024 / Proposed Rules 

Q–945: Q–945 is a new Canadian 

RNAV route proposed to be established 

within U.S. airspace extending between 

the Dickinson, ND, VORTAC and the 

OSMEE, ND, WP that would replace the 

‘‘CFMSZ’’ CNF on the U.S./Canada 

border. The new RNAV route would 

mitigate the proposed J–562 revocation 

and provide route continuity and crossborder connectivity with the RNAV 

Route Q–945 being established by NAV 

CANADA within Canadian airspace. 

Q–971: Q–971 is a new Canadian 

RNAV route proposed to be established 

within U.S. airspace extending between 

the Minot, ND, VOR/DME and the 

CIPTA, ND, WP that would replace the 

‘‘CFHLT’’ CNF on the U.S./Canada 

border. The new RNAV route would 

mitigate the proposed J–483 revocation 

and provide route continuity and crossborder connectivity with the RNAV 

Route Q–971 being established by NAV 

CANADA within Canadian airspace. 

V–129: V–129 currently extends 

between the Spinner, IL, VORTAC and 

the intersection of the International 

Falls, MN, VOR/DME 335° radial and 

United States/Canadian border. The 

FAA proposes to remove the airway 

segment between the International Falls 

VOR/DME and the intersection of the 

International Falls VOR/DME 335° 

radial and United States/Canadian 

border. As amended, the airway would 

be changed to extend between the 

Spinner VORTAC and the International 

Falls VOR/DME. 

T–797: T–797 is a new Canadian 

RNAV route proposed to be established 

within U.S. airspace extending between 

the International Falls, MN, VOR/DME 

and the WUGOR, MN, WP replacing the 

‘‘CFDTS’’ CNF on the U.S./Canada 

border. The new RNAV route would 

mitigate the proposed V–129 airway 

segment removal and provide route 

continuity and cross-border 

connectivity with the RNAV Route T– 

797 established by NAV CANADA 

within Canadian airspace. 

The NAVAID radials listed in the 

VOR Federal Airway V–129 description 

in the regulatory text of this NPRM are 

unchanged and stated in degrees True 

north. 

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.
