Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 143 / Thursday, July 29, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 40783 

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 supports 

modifying, removing, and establishing 

the air traffic service route structure in 

Alaska to maintain the efficient flow of 

air traffic. 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 

FAA–2020–0544 in the Federal Register 

(85 FR 37033; June 19, 2020), removing 

VOR Federal airway V–482 in the state 

of Alaska. Interested parties were 

invited to participate in this rulemaking 

effort by submitting written comments 

on the proposal. No comments were 

received. 

Alaskan VOR Federal airways are 

published in paragraph 6010(b) of FAA 

Order 7400.11E dated July 21, 2020, and 

effective September 15, 2020, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Alaskan VOR Federal airway 

listed in this document will be 

subsequently removed from this Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.11E, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, 

and effective September 15, 2020. FAA 

Order 7400.11E is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11E 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 

removing Alaskan VOR Federal airway 

V–482. 

V–482: V–482 currently extends 

between Johnstone Point, AK to 

Gulkana, AK. This action removes the 

entire route. 

FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on 

September 15. 

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 Department of 

Transportation (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 of revoking VOR Federal airway 

V–482 in Alaska 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, with 

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). As such, this action 

is not expected to cause any potentially 

significant environmental impacts. In 

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.

Extension of Canadian Area Navigation 

Routes Q–902 and Q–811; Alaska 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: This action corrects a final 

rule published by the FAA in the 

Federal Register on July 15, 2021. This 

action amends Federal airways, A–15, 

V–444, J–502, and J–511 in Alaska. It 

also establishes an extension of two 

Canadian Area Navigation Q routes, 

Q–811, and Q–902. The modifications 

are necessary due to the 

decommissioning of the Burwash NonDirectional Beacon (NDB) in Yukon 

Territory, Canada, which provides 

navigation guidance for portions of the 

affected routes. The Burwash NDB was 

decommissioned effective March 26, 

2020 due to ongoing maintenance 

problems and logistic issues.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking for Docket No. 

FAA–2020–0567 in the Federal Register 

(85 FR 38799; June 29, 2020), a 

supplemental NPRM (85 FR 60108; 

September 24, 2020) and a final rule (86 

FR 37235; July 15, 2021), amending 

Federal airways V–15, V–444, jet routes 

J–502, and J–511, and establishing an 

extension of two Canadian Area 

Navigation Q routes, Q–811, and Q–902. 

The modifications are necessary due to 

the decommissioning of the Burwash 

Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) in Yukon 

Territory, Canada, which provides 

navigation guidance for portions of the 

affected routes. Subsequent to the 

publication, it was determined that 

exclusionary language, ‘‘excluding the 

airspace within Canada’’ was included 

in The Rule section, but was not 

included in the legal descriptions for 

Q–902, and Q–811. This rule corrects 

that error by including ‘‘excluding the 

airspace within Canada’’ below the line 

containing IGSOM, CA in the Q–811 

legal description and below the line 

containing KOTZEBUE, AK (OTZ) in 

the Q–902 legal description. This is an 

editorial change only and does not alter 

the alignment of the route as shown on 

aeronautical charts, and does not affect 

the use of the route by aircraft. 

Canadian Area Navigation Routes are 

published in paragraph 2007 of FAA 

Order 7400.11E dated July 21, 2020, and 

effective September 15, 2020, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Canadian Area Navigation 

Routes listed in this document will be 

subsequently published in the Order. 

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document amends FAA Order 

7400.11E, Airspace Designations and 

Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, 

and effective September 15, 2020. FAA 

Order 7400.11E is publicly available as 

listed in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists 

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

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

Correction to Final Rule 

The description of Canadian Area 

Navigation Routes Q–811 and Q–902, as 

published on page 37237, in the Federal 

Register (86 FR 37235; July 15, 2021), 

FR Doc. 2021–14978, is corrected as 

follows: 

§ 71.1 [Corrected] 

1. On page 37237, Table Q–811 

DILLINGHAM, AK TO IGSOM [NEW]’’ 

is corrected by adding the following 

entry to the end of the table: ‘‘Excluding 

the airspace within Canada.’’ 

2. On the same page, Table Q–902 

SEATTLE, WA TO KOTZEBUE, AK 

[NEW]’’ is corrected by adding the 

following entry to the end of the table: 

‘‘Excluding the airspace within
