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 National Airspace System as 

necessary to preserve the safe and 

efficient flow of air traffic. 

Comments Invited 

The FAA invites interested persons to 

participate in this rulemaking by 

submitting written comments, data, or 

views. Comments are specifically 

invited on the overall regulatory, 

aeronautical, economic, environmental, 

and energy-related aspects of the 

proposal. The most helpful comments 

reference a specific portion of the 

proposal, explain the reason for any 

recommended change, and include 

supporting data. To ensure the docket 

does not contain duplicate comments, 

commenters should submit only one 

time if comments are filed 

electronically, or commenters should 

send only one copy of written 

comments if comments are filed in 

writing.

Incorporation by Reference 

VOR Federal Airways are published 

in paragraph 6010(a) 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 

The FAA is planning to 

decommission the VOR portion of the 

Zanesville, OH, VOR/DME in October 

2025. The Zanesville VOR is one of the 

candidate VORs identified for 

discontinuance by the FAA’s VOR MON 

program and listed in the Final policy 

statement notice, ‘‘Provision of 

Navigation Services for the Next 

Generation Air Transportation System 

(NextGen) Transition to PerformanceBased Navigation (PBN) (Plan for 

Establishing a VOR Minimum 

Operational Network),’’ published in the 

Federal Register on July 26, 2016 (81 FR 

48694), Docket No. FAA–2011–1082. 

Although the VOR portion of the 

Zanesville VOR/DME is planned for 

decommissioning, the co-located DME 

portion of the NAVAID is being retained 

to support current and future NextGen 

PBN flight procedure requirements. 

The VOR Federal Airways affected by 

the planned decommissioning of the 

Zanesville VOR are V–38, V–133, V– 

144, and V–214. With the planned 

decommissioning of the Zanesville 

VOR, the remaining ground-based 

NAVAID coverage in the area is 

insufficient to enable the continuity of 

the affected airways. As such, proposed 

modifications to V–38 would result in 

an existing gap in the airway being 

expanded; to V–133 would result in one 

of two existing gaps in the airway being 

expanded; to V–144 would result in a 

gap being created in the airway; and to 

V–214 would result in the airway being 

revoked. 

To address the proposed amendments 

and revocation to the affected airways, 

instrument flight rules (IFR) traffic 

could use VOR Federal Airways V–44, 

V–75, V–115, V–117, and V–166 to 

navigate around the area affected by the 

planned decommissioning of the 

Zanesville VOR. Additionally, IFR 

pilots with Area Navigation (RNAV)- 

equipped aircraft could navigate using 

RNAV Route T–323 or point-to-point 

using the existing Fixes and waypoints 

that will remain in place to support 

continued operations though the 

affected area. Visual flight rules pilots 

who elect to navigate via the affected 

airways could also take advantage of the 

adjacent airways listed above, as well as 

the listed RNAV route and point-topoint navigation, if properly equipped. 

Lastly, all aircraft have the option to 

request and receive radar vectors from 

air traffic control to transit the affected 

area. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 by amending VOR 

Federal Airways V–38, V–133, and V– 

144, and revoking VOR Federal Airway 

V–262. The FAA is proposing this 

action due to the planned 

decommissioning of the VOR portion of 

the Zanesville, OH, VOR/DME NAVAID. 

The proposed airway actions are 

described below. 

V–38: V–38 currently extends 

between the Moline, IL, VOR/DME and 

the intersection of the Fort Wayne, IN, 

VOR/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) 

091° and Rosewood, OH, VORTAC 334° 

radials (WINES Fix); and between the 

Appleton, OH, VORTAC and the Cape 

Charles, VA, VORTAC. The FAA 

proposes to remove the route segment 

between the Appleton VORTAC and the 

Parkersburg, WV, VOR/DME. As 

amended, the route would be changed 

to extend between the Moline VOR/ 

DME and the intersection of the Fort 

Wayne VORTAC 091° and Rosewood 

VORTAC 334° radials (WINES Fix), and 

between the Parkersburg VOR/DME and 

the Cape Charles VORTAC. 

V–133: V–133 currently extends 

between the intersection of the 

Charlotte, NC, VOR/DME 305° and 

Barretts Mountain, NC, VOR/DME 197° 

radials (LINCO Fix) and the Zanesville, 

OH, VOR/DME; between the Saginaw, 

MI, VOR/DME and the Houghton, MI, 

VOR/DME; and between the 

International Falls, MN, VOR/DME and 

the Red Lake, Ontario (ON), Canada, 

VOR. The airspace within Canada is 

excluded. The FAA proposes to remove 

the airway segment between the 

Charleston, WV, VOR/DME and the 

Zanesville VOR/DME. As amended, the 

airway would be changed to extend 

between the intersection of the Charlotte 

VOR/DME 305° and Barretts Mountain 

VOR/DME 197° radials (LINCO Fix) and 

the Charleston VOR/DME; between the 

Saginaw VOR/DME and the Houghton 

VOR/DME; and between the 

International Falls VOR/DME and the 

Red Lake, ON, Canada, VOR. The 

airspace within Canada would continue 

to be excluded. 

V–144: V–144 currently extends 

between the Fort Wayne, IN, VORTAC 

and the Linden, VA, VORTAC. The FAA 

proposes to remove the airway segment 

between the Appleton, OH, VORTAC 

and the Morgantown, WV, VOR/DME. 

As amended, the airway would be 

changed to extend between the Fort 

Wayne VORTAC and the Appleton 

VORTAC, and between the Morgantown 

VOR/DME and the Linden VORTAC. 

V–214: V–214 currently extends 

between the intersection of the 

Appleton, OH, VORTAC 236° and 

Zanesville, OH, VOR/DME 274° radials 

(GLOOM Fix) and the Bellaire, OH, 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 236 / Monday, December 9, 2024 / Proposed Rules 97569 

VOR/DME. The FAA proposes to 

remove the airway in its entirety. 

All NAVAID radials listed in the 

airway descriptions in the regulatory 

text of this notice of proposed 

rulemaking 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.
