RIN 2120–AA66 

Proposed Amendment of VOR Federal 

Airways V–16, V–31, V–93, V–157, V– 

213, and V–229 in the Vicinity of 

Patuxent River, MD 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM); withdrawal. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is withdrawing the 

NPRM published in the Federal 

Register on July 12, 2017, proposing to 

amend VHF Omnidirectional Range 

(VOR) Federal airways V–16, V–31, V– 

93, V–157, V–213, and V–229 near 

Patuxent River, MD, due to the planned 

decommissioning of the Patuxent VOR/ 

Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) 

(PXT), Patuxent River, MD, in support 

of the FAA’s VOR Minimum 

Operational Network (MON) program. 

Subsequent to the NPRM, the PXT 

VORTAC decommissioning has been 

delayed until a to-be-determined date. 

The FAA decided that additional 

planning is necessary to ensure a more 

efficient implementation and integration 

with other ongoing VOR MON program 

activities, and determined that 

withdrawal of the proposed rule is 

warranted. 

DATES: Effective September 17, 2021, the 

proposed rule published July 12, 2017 

(82 FR 32149), is withdrawn.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

The FAA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking in the Federal 

Register for Docket No. FAA–2017–0461 

(82 FR 32149; July 12, 2017), amending 

VOR Federal airways V–16, V–31, V–93, 

V–157, V–213, and V–229 due to the 

planned decommissioning of the 

Patuxent VORTAC which provides 

navigation guidance for portions of the 

affected airways. Interested parties were 

invited to participate in this rulemaking 

effort by submitting written comments 

on the proposal. One comment was 

received. The commenter recommended 

that for VOR NAVAIDs that are to be 

decommissioned, and for those airways 

that are correspondingly removed, the 

FAA should create an Area Navigation 

(RNAV) waypoint at the previous 

NAVAID location, and convert all fixes 

and intersections along that route to 

RNAV waypoints. 

FAA’s Conclusions 

The FAA has reviewed the Patuxent 

VORTAC decommissioning project and 

determined that additional planning 

meetings are warranted to ensure a more 

efficient implementation and integration 

with other ongoing program activities; 

therefore, the NPRM is withdrawn.

33 CFR Part 165 

[Docket Number USCG–2021–0661] 

RIN 1625–AA11 

Regulated Navigation Area; Offshore, 

Cape Canaveral, Florida 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing 

to replace the existing safety zone in 

Captain of the Port Zone Jacksonville, 

Offshore Cape Canaveral, Florida with a 

regulated navigation area (RNA). The 

existing safety zone is composed of four 

large regulated areas and was 

established in 2009 with the intent of 

protecting vessels from risks posed from 

rockets launching from facilities on 

Cape Canaveral. Changes in the type 

and size of launch vehicles, rocket 

component recovery methods, and the 

increased frequency of launches pose 

variable risks to marine traffic and 

require a more flexible regulatory tool. 

The proposed RNA would encompass 

all waters within typical rocket flight 

trajectories originating from launch 

complexes on and around Cape 

Canaveral, FL and out to 12 nautical 

miles. We invite your comments on this 

proposed rulemaking. 

DATES: Comments and related material 

must be received by the Coast Guard on 

or before October 18, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by docket number USCG– 

2021–0661 using the Federal Decision 

Making Portal at https://

www.regulations.gov. See the ‘‘Public 

Participation and Request for 

Comments’’ portion of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for 

further instructions on submitting 

comments.

you have questions about this proposed 

rulemaking, call or email Mr. A. Eugene

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal 

Basis 

The Coast Guard is proposing to 

replace the existing safety zone in 33 

CFR 165.775 titled ‘‘Safety Zone; 

Captain of the Port Zone Jacksonville; 

Offshore Cape Canaveral, Florida’’ with 

a regulated navigation area (RNA). The 

existing safety zone is composed of four 

large regulated areas and was 

established in 2009 with the intent of 

protecting marine traffic from the 

hazards associated with the launching 

of space vehicles, to expedite 

notification to the public, and to reduce 

the administrative workload of the Coast 

Guard. Changes in the type and size of 

launch vehicles, rocket component 

recovery methods, and the increased 

frequency of launches pose variable 

risks to marine traffic and require a 

more flexible regulatory tool. The 

proposed RNA would encompass all 

waters within typical rocket flight 

trajectories originating from launch 

complexes on and around Cape 

Canaveral, FL and out to 12 nautical 

miles. We invite your comments on this 

proposed rulemaking. 

The Coast Guard proposes this 

rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C. 

70034, 70051; 33 CFR 1.05–1, 6.04–1, 

6.04–6, and 160.5, and Department of 

Homeland Security Delegation No. 

00170.1, Revision No. 01.2. 

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule 

The Seventh Coast Guard District 

Commander is proposing to replace the 

existing Offshore Cape Canaveral Safety 

Zone in 33 CFR 165.775, with a RNA. 

Prior to the safety zone that was 

established in 2009, the Captain of the 

Port (COTP) Jacksonville issued 

temporary federal regulations for each 

rocket launch from Cape Canaveral Air 

Force Station, now called Cape 

Canaveral Space Force Station. At the 

time, 12–15 launches a year was typical. 

The four ‘‘zones’’ were based on 

historical and projected launch azimuth 

data and designed in collaboration with 

the U.S. Air Force, 45th Space Wing 

Range Operations and Safety 

Departments and U.S. Coast Guard 

Space Transportation Systems program 

office in Port Canaveral, FL. 

Contemporary flight analyses models 

and risk assessments are more advanced 

and require a far smaller hazard area for 

typical launches than the four ‘‘zones’’
