SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register for Docket 
No. FAA-2022-0245 (87 FR 72871, November 28, 2022), establishing RNAV 
route T-380 in the vicinity of Emmonak, AK. The effective date for that 
final rule is April 20, 2023. Subsequent to the final rule, it was 
determined that the required flight inspection of T-380 was not 
completed due to weather conditions. The onset of winter weather 
conditions in Alaska will further impact the completion of flight 
inspections.
    To facilitate the safe and continuous use of existing air traffic 
procedures and allow sufficient time for completion of the required 
flight inspection of route T-380, the effective date of this rule is 
delayed until further notice. The FAA will publish a document in the 
Federal Register announcing the new effective date.

Delay of Effective Date

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the 
effective date of the final rule, Airspace Docket No. 19-AAL-49, as 
published in the Federal Register on November 28, 2022 (87 FR 72871), 
is hereby delayed until further notice.
