cancelled in its entirety. RNAV route Q– 

99 will be extended as a partial overlay 

and replacement of J–165. 

J–207: J–207 extends from Florence,

J–207. 

J–506: J–506 extends from 

Millinocket, ME to the intersection of 

the St John, NB, 267° radial and the

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.

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 VOR Federal airway route 

structure in the eastern United States to 

maintain the efficient flow of air traffic. 

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– 

2022–0823; Airspace Docket No. 21– 

AEA–23) 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–2022–0823; Airspace 

Docket No. 21–AEA–23.’’ 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. 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 

proposed rule. FAA Order JO 7400.11F 

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

areas, air traffic service routes, and 

reporting points. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 to remove VOR 

Federal Airways V–31, V–146, V–447, 

and V–475. The routes would be 

removed in conjunction with VORs 

being decommissioned under the VOR 

MON Program. This program aims to 

improve the efficiency of the National 

Airspace System by transitioning from 

ground based navigation systems to 

satellite based navigation. The proposed 

changes are described below. 

V–31: V–31 currently extends from 

Patuxent River, MD, to the intersection 

of the Rochester, NY, 279° and the 

Buffalo, NY 023° radials. The FAA 

proposes to remove the entire route in 

support of the VOR MON Program. A 

planned United States Area Navigation 

(RNAV) route, T–445, would overlay 

segments of V–31. 

V–146: V–146 currently extends from 

Albany, NY, to Nantucket, MA. The 

FAA proposes to remove the entire 

route in support of the VOR MON 

Program. An extension to RNAV route 

T–291 would overlay a segment of V– 

146. 

V–447: V–447 currently extends from 

Cambridge, NY, to Sherbrooke, PQ, 

Canada. The FAA proposes to remove 

the entire route in support of the VOR 

MON Program. In addition, NavCanada 

has decommissioned the Sherbrook, PQ, 

VOR which was the end point of the 

route. 

V–475: V–475 currently extends from 

LaGuardia, NY, to Providence, RI. This 

route is no longer being utilized. 

Therefore, no RNAV overlay is planned. 

Domestic VOR Federal airways are 

published in paragraph 6010(a) 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 VOR Federal airways 

listed in this document would be 

subsequently removed from FAA Order 

JO 7400.11. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on 

September 15.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On June 1, 2022, the National Indian 

Gaming Commission published a 

proposed rule to amend the Agency’s 

audit standards regulations. The 

proposed rule will amend the 

regulations to eliminate the Commission 

waiver requirement for reviewed 

financial statements and allow all 

operations grossing less than $2 million 

in the previous fiscal year to submit 

reviewed financial statements provided 

that the tribe or tribal gaming regulatory 

authority (TGRA) permits the gaming 

operation to submit reviewed financials. 

The proposed amendment to the rule 

will also create a third tier of financial 

reporting for charitable gaming 

operations with annual gross revenues 

of $50,000 or less where, if permitted by 

the tribe, a charitable gaming operation 

may submit financial information on a 

monthly basis to the tribe or the TGRA 

and in turn, the tribe or TGRA provides 

an annual certification to the NIGC 

regarding the charitable gaming 

operation’s compliance with the 

financial reporting. The proposed 

amendment also adds a provision 

clarifying that the submission of an 

adverse opinion does not satisfy the 

regulation’s reporting requirements. 

II. Reopening of Comment Period 

At the request of interested parties, 

the Commission is reopening the 

comment period until August 1, 2022.
