SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Authority for This Rulemaking

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 

route structure as necessary to preserve 

the safe and efficient flow of air traffic 

within the National Airspace System 

(NAS).

decisions on the proposal. Comments 

are specifically invited on the overall 

regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 

environmental, and energy-related 

aspects of the proposal.

Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order 7400.11A, airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 3, 2016, and effective 

September 15, 2016. FAA Order 

7400.11A is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists 

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

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

Background 

On January 5, 2017, the FAA 

published in the Federal Register an 

NPRM (82 FR 1279), Docket No. FAA– 

2016–9264, proposing to modify and 

establish several airways due to the 

decommissioning of Manteca and 

Maxwell VOR facilities. Among those 

airways, the FAA proposed 

modifications to V–113 and V–244. 

In the final rule, published on April 

20, 2017, the FAA decided to delay the 

proposed changes to V–244 because 

more coordination was required. (82 FR 

18551), Docket No. FAA–2016–9264. 

The FAA finalized V–113 as proposed 

in the NPRM with a gap in the route 

structure between Panoche, California 

and Linden, California. Prior to the 

effective date of June 22, 2017, and 

without notification to the public, the 

FAA inadvertently published 

navigational charts that reflected the gap 

in V–113 had been filled. Because this 

portion of the airway reflected on the 

chart was not properly established by 

rule, the FAA issued an out-of-service 

NOTAM for this segment until a 

rulemaking action could be completed. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 

(14 CFR) part 71 to modify V–113 and 

V–244. The proposed route changes are 

outlined below. 

V–244: The FAA proposes to relocate 

the segment of the route from Oakland, 

CA by rerouting the airway 

approximately 10 nautical miles north 

of the previous airway until tied back 

into the previous route at Coaldale, NV. 

New legal description: From Oakland, 

CA; INT Oakland 077°(T) 060°(M) and 

Linden, CA, 246°(T) 229°(M) radials; 

Linden; 30 miles, 153 MSL, INT Linden 

094°(T) 077°(M) and Hangtown, CA, 

157°(T) 140°(M) radials; 58 miles, 153 

MSL, INT Coaldale, CA, 267°(T) 250°(M) 

and Friant, CA, 022°(T) 005°(M) radials; 

23 miles, 153 MSL, INT Coaldale 

267°(T) 250°(M) and Bishop, CA, 

337°(T) 322°(M) radials; 43 miles, 125 

MSL, Coaldale, NV. The remaining 

portion of the route (from Coaldale, NV 

to Salina, KS) would be unchanged. 

V–113: The FAA proposes fill the gap 

between Panoche, CA to Linden, CA by 

revising the legal description as follows. 

From Morro Bay, CA; Paso Robles, CA; 

Priest, CA; Panoche, CA; INT Modesto 

208°(T) 191°(M) and El Nido 277°(T) 

262°(M) radials; Modesto, CA; Linden, 

CA; NT Linden 046°(T) 029°(M) and 

Mustang, NV, 208°(T) 192°(M) radials; 

Mustang; 42 miles, 24 miles, 115 MSL, 

95 MSL, Sod House, NV; 67 miles, 95 

MSL, 85 MSL, Rome, OR; 61 miles, 85 

MSL, Boise, ID; Salmon, ID; 

Coppertown, MT; Helena, MT; to 

Lewistown, MT. 

VOR federal airways are published in 

paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order 

7400.11A dated August 3, 2016, and 

effective September 15, 2016, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The VOR federal airways listed in 

this document will be subsequently 

published in the Order. 

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.
