Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: This action proposes to 

revoke the Colored Federal airway Red1 (R–1) in the vicinity of King Salmon, 

AK, due to the airway no longer being 

utilized by pilots as the overlaying 

United States Area Navigation (RNAV)

capability with lower minimum enroute 

altitudes (MEA).

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 route structure as necessary 

to preserve the safe and efficient flow of 

air traffic within the National Airspace 

System. 

Comments Invited 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in this proposed rulemaking 

by submitting such written data, views, 

or arguments as they may desire. 

Comments that provide the factual basis 

supporting the views and suggestions 

presented are particularly helpful in 

developing reasoned regulatory 

decisions on the proposal. Comments 

are specifically invited on the overall 

regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 

environmental, and energy-related 

aspects of the proposal. 

Communications should identify both 

docket numbers (FAA Docket No. FAA– 

2022–0765; Airspace Docket No. 22– 

AAL–22) and be submitted in triplicate 

to the Docket Management Facility (see 

ADDRESSES section for address and 

phone number). You may also submit 

comments through the internet at 

https://www.regulations.gov. 

Commenters wishing the FAA to 

acknowledge receipt of their comments 

on this action must submit with those 

comments a self-addressed, stamped 

postcard on which the following 

statement is made: ‘‘Comments to FAA 

Docket No. FAA–2022–0765; Airspace 

Docket No. 22–AAL–22.’’ The postcard 

will be date/time stamped and returned 

to the commenter. 

All communications received on or 

before the specified comment closing 

date will be considered before taking 

action on the proposed rule. The 

proposal contained in this action may 

be changed in light of comments 

received. All comments submitted will 

be available for examination in the 

public docket both before and after the 

comment closing date. A report 

summarizing each substantive public 

contact with FAA personnel concerned 

with this rulemaking will be filed in the 

docket.

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 10, 2021, and effective 

September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO 

7400.11F is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F lists 

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

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

Background 

The Alaska aviation industry/users 

have indicated a desire for the FAA to 

transition the Alaskan en route 

navigation structure away from the 

dependency on Non-Directional Beacon 

(NDB) navigational aids. The advances 

in technology have allowed for pilots to 

utilize alternate satellite-based 

navigation methods that are more 

precise for navigating the tough Alaska 

terrain. 

During a recent study conducted by 

the FAA for a one year period, the FAA 

analyzed the utilization of the Colored 

Federal airway R–1 and determined it is 

not being utilized. Pilots prefer to use 

the RNAV T-route, T–230, to navigate 

the same airspace area. The RNAV route 

T–230 has been in place for many years 

and runs parallel to R–1 from the King 

Salmon, AK, VHF Omni-directional 

Range (VOR) to the St Paul Island, AK, 

NDB/Distance Measuring Equipment 

(NDB/DME). The satellite-based T–230 

offers a lower flying altitude and more 

precise navigation than the NDB-based 

airway R–1. A radar study of R–1 usage 

for the past 12 months revealed no 

aircraft flew this airway. Air traffic 

control verified this study. The FAA, 

therefore, concluded that the use of the 

R–1 airway was abandoned. As such, 

this proposal would result in the 

removal of the Colored Federal airway 

R–1, since the air traffic service 

provided by this airway is no longer 

utilized. 

To overcome the loss of the R–1 

airway, alternate routings for non-global 

positioning system (GPS)-equipped 

aircraft are available from the King 

Salmon, AK, VOR to the St Paul Island, 

AK, NDB/DME using VOR Federal 

airway V–321, and the Colored Federal 

airway G–10 via the Cape Newenham 

NDB/DME. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 to revoke Colored 

Federal airway R–1, due to the airway 

no longer being utilized by pilots as the 

overlaying RNAVroute, T–230, provides 

better navigation capability with lower 

MEA. 

The proposed airway amendment is 

described below. 

R–1: R–1 currently extends between 

the St Paul Island, AK, NDB/DME and 

the Chinook AK, NDB. The FAA 

proposes to revoke the route in its 

entirety. 

Colored Federal airways are 

published in paragraph 6009(b) of FAA 

Order JO 7400.11F dated August 10, 

2021 and effective September 15, 2021, 

which is incorporated by reference in 14 

CFR 71.1. The Colored Federal airway 

listed in this document would be 

removed subsequently from FAA Order 

JO 7400.11. 

FAA Order JO 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 

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 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 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.
