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 modifies the 

National Airspace System as necessary 

to preserve the safe and efficient flow of 

air traffic. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 

FAA–2024–1396 in the Federal Register 

(89 FR 42824; May 16, 2024), proposing 

to amend VOR Federal Airways V–258 

and V–519, and RNAV Route T–426; 

and revoke Jet Routes J–213 and J–526, 

and VOR Federal Airway V–59. The 

FAA proposed this action due to the 

planned decommissioning of the VOR 

portion of the Beckley, WV, VOR/DME 

NAVAID. Interested parties were invited 

to participate in this rulemaking effort 

by submitting written comments on the 

proposal. No comments were received. 

Differences From the NPRM 

Subsequent to the NPRM, the FAA 

published a final rule for Docket No. 

FAA–2023–2314 in the Federal Register 

(89 FR 52357; June 24, 2024), amending 

VOR Federal Airway V–258 by 

removing the airway segment between 

the Roanoke, VA, VOR/DME and the 

Danville, VA, VOR. That airway 

amendment, effective September 5, 

2024, is included in this rule. 

Incorporation by Reference 

Jet Routes are published in paragraph 

2004, VOR Federal Airways are 

published in paragraph 6010(a), and 

United States Area Navigation Routes 

are published in paragraph 6011 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 amends the current version of 

that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11J, 

dated July 31, 2024, and effective 

September 15, 2024. FAA Order JO 

7400.11J is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. These amendments will be 

published in the next update to FAA 

Order JO 7400.11. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11J lists Class A, 

B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic 

service routes, and reporting points. 

The Rule 

This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by 

amending VOR Federal Airway V–519 

and RNAV Route T–426; and revoking 

Jet Routes J–213 and J–526, and VOR 

Federal Airways V–59 and V–258 due to 

the planned decommissioning of the 

VOR portion of the Beckley, WV, VOR/ 

DME NAVAID. The Air Traffic Service 

route actions are described below. 

J–213: Prior to this final rule, J–213 

extended between the Armel, VA, VOR/ 

DME and the Beckley, WV, VOR/DME. 

The route is removed in its entirety. 

J–526: Prior to this final rule, J–526 

extended between the Beckley, WV, 

VOR/DME and the Louisville, KY, VOR/ 

Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC). The 

route is removed in its entirety. 

V–59: Prior to this final rule, V–59 

extended between the Pulaski, VA, 

VORTAC and the Parkersburg, WV, 

VOR/DME. The airway is removed in its 

entirety. 

V–258: Prior to this final rule, V–258 

extended between the Charleston, WV, 

VOR/DME and the Roanoke, VA, VOR/ 

DME due to the final rule for Docket No. 

FAA–2023–2314 that published 

previously in the Federal Register (89 

FR 52357; June 24, 2024). This action 

removes the airway segment between 

the Charleston VOR/DME and the 

Roanoke VOR/DME, resulting in the 

airway being removed in its entirety. 

V–519: Prior to this final rule, V–519 

extended between the Volunteer, TN, 

VORTAC and the Beckley, WV, VOR/ 

DME. The airway segment between the 

Bluefield, WV, VOR/DME and the 

Beckley VOR/DME is removed. As 

amended, the airway is changed to now 

extend between the Volunteer VORTAC 

and the Bluefield VOR/DME. 

T–426: Prior to this final rule, T–426 

extended between the DANCO, WV, WP 

and the MCDON, VA, WP. The route is 

extended northward from the DANCO 

WP to the Parkersburg, WV, VOR/DME. 

As amended, T–426 is changed and now 

extends between the Parkersburg VOR/ 

DME and the MCDON WP. The full T– 

426 route description is listed in the 

regulatory text of this final rule. 

The NAVAID radials listed in the 

VOR Federal Airway V–519 description 

in the regulatory text of this final rule 

are unchanged and stated in degrees 

True north. 

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. 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 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. 

Environmental Review 

The FAA has determined that this 

action amending VOR Federal Airway 

V–519 and RNAV Route T–426; and 

revoking Jet Routes J–213 and J–526, 

and VOR Federal Airways V–59 and V– 

258, due to the planned 

decommissioning of the VOR portion of 

the Beckley, WV, VOR/DME NAVAID, 

qualifies for categorical exclusion under 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and its 

implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 

1500, and in accordance with FAA 

Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5– 

6.5a, which categorically excludes from 

further environmental impact review 

rulemaking actions that designate or 

modify classes of airspace areas, 

airways, routes, and reporting points 

(see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of 

Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; 

Air Traffic Service Routes; and 

Reporting Points); and paragraph 5–6.5i, 

which categorically excludes from 

further environmental impact review 

the establishment of new or revised air 

traffic control procedures conducted at 

3,000 feet or more above ground level 

(AGL); procedures conducted below 

3,000 feet AGL that do not cause traffic 

to be routinely routed over noise 

sensitive areas; modifications to 

currently approved procedures 

conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do 

not significantly increase noise over 

noise sensitive areas; and increases in 

minimum altitudes and landing 

minima. As such, this action is not 

expected to result in any potentially 

significant environmental impacts. In 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
96868 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 235 / Friday, December 6, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

paragraph 5–2 regarding Extraordinary 

Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed 

this action for factors and circumstances 

in which a normally categorically 

excluded action may have a significant 

environmental impact requiring further 

analysis. The FAA has determined that 

no extraordinary circumstances exist 

that warrant preparation of an 

environmental assessment or 

environmental impact study.
