SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On December 15, 2011 the FAA published in the Federal Register a 
notice of proposed policy and request for comments (76 FR 77939) on the 
FAA's proposed strategy for gradually reducing the current VOR network 
to a Minimum Operational Network (MON) as the NAS transitions to 
performance-based navigation (PBN) as part of the Next Generation Air 
Transportation System (NextGen). The FAA announced that, as part of a 
NAS Efficient Streamlined Services Initiative, the number of 
conventional NAVAIDs would be reduced while more efficient Area 
Navigation (RNAV) routes and procedures are implemented throughout the 
NAS. The FAA noted its intention to convene a working group to assist 
in developing a candidate list of VORs for discontinuance using 
relevant operational, safety, cost, and economic criteria. Interested 
parties were invited to participate in the review of this policy and 
planning effort by submitting written comments on the proposal.
    The FAA reviewed all 330 comments received and on August 21, 2012, 
published in the Federal Register the disposition of the comments on 
the notice of proposed policy (77 FR 50420). In considering and 
disposing of the comments, the FAA noted that it would develop an 
initial VOR MON Plan which would be made publicly available. The FAA 
renewed its intention to convene a working group that would assist in 
developing objective criteria which would be applied consistently 
nationally and regionally to help identify those VOR facilities that 
would remain operational.

Criteria for Assessing VOR Discontinuance

    After the FAA published the disposition of comments, stakeholders, 
industry, and military services provided further inputs to the FAA for 
consideration in developing the criteria used to select VORs that would 
need to be retained as a part of the MON. The FAA also sought 
recommendations from aviation industry stakeholders through the RTCA 
Tactical Operations Committee (TOC). With this collective input, the 
FAA developed the criteria to determine which VORs would be candidates 
for retention. VORs not meeting these criteria were considered as 
discontinuance candidates.
    The following criteria were used by the FAA to determine which VORs 
would be retained as a part of the MON:

-- Retain VORs to perform Instrument Landing System (ILS), Localizer 
(LOC), or VOR approaches supporting MON airports at suitable 
destinations within 100 NM of any location within the CONUS. Selected 
approaches would not require Automatic Direction Finder (ADF), Distance 
Measuring Equipment (DME), Radar, or GPS.
-- Retain VORs to support international oceanic arrival routes.
-- Retain VORs to provide coverage at and above 5,000 ft AGL.
-- Retain most VORs in the Western U.S. Mountainous Area (WUSMA), 
specifically those anchoring Victor airways through high elevation 
terrain.
-- Retain VORs required for military use.
-- VORs outside of the CONUS were not considered for discontinuance 
under the VOR MON Implementation Program.

    The following considerations were used to supplement the VOR MON 
criteria above:

-- Only FAA owned/operated VORs were considered for discontinuance.
-- Co-located DME and Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) systems will 
generally be retained when the VOR service is terminated.
-- Co-located communication services relocated or reconfigured to 
continue transmitting their services.

Working Group

    Using the established criteria, the FAA convened an internal 
working group to develop a candidate list of VORs using the VOR MON 
criteria relevant to operational, safety, cost, and economic 
considerations. The group developed the VOR MON service by first 
selecting MON airports that met the criteria listed above. Airports 
with ILS approaches that met the criteria were selected in preference 
to VOR approaches. If two airports in close proximity had suitable 
approaches, then the airport whose ILS or VOR approach required the FAA 
to retain the fewest number of VORs (i.e., to identify initial,

[[Page 48695]]

final, stepdown, and missed approach points) were generally selected. 
VORs necessary to fulfil other criteria were then selected to be 
retained. Additional VORs were retained to provide coverage at 5000 ft 
AGL. The effect of terrain blockage and unavailable radials from some 
VORs was considered, as was MON airport infrastructure, radar coverage, 
and training. The overall goal of the effort was to provide the VOR MON 
service according to the criteria while retaining the fewest number of 
VORs.
    The working group also considered flight procedure development 
requirements and capabilities, non-rulemaking and rulemaking processing 
requirements and timelines, and geographic impacts to the NAS as it 
refined the candidate list of VORs for retention. Since some VORs are 
co-located with communications services, such as the Hazardous Inflight 
Weather Advisory Service (HIWAS) and Remote Communication Outlet (RCO), 
the working group also identified which services would be reconfigured 
or relocated in order to continue to provide those services. For VORs 
not listed as part of the MON, the FAA's working groups developed a 
candidate list of VORs for discontinuance arranged in two Phases (2016-
2020 and 2021-2025) by Service Area based on Instrument Flight 
Procedure (IFP) mitigation complexity.

Discontinuance Process

    The FAA will follow its established policies and processes for VOR 
discontinuance according to FAA Order JO 7400.2, Procedures for 
Handling Airspace Matters. Prior to making any VOR discontinuance 
determinations, the geographically responsible Air Traffic Organization 
(ATO) service area office will publish a circular notice of the 
proposed discontinuance action to solicit comments from aviation 
interested persons and organizations. A brief description of the 
discontinuance effect on airspace and instrument procedures will be 
included in the circularization. Once a determination to discontinue a 
VOR has been made, the responsible service area office will initiate 
established part 71 and part 97 rulemaking processing procedures. The 
FAA will publish Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal 
Register to solicit public comments on all proposed part 71 airspace 
and ATS route amendments resulting from VOR discontinuance 
determinations prior to taking any amendment actions within the NAS. 
After consideration of all public comments received in response to 
published NPRMs, the FAA will determine whether to issue final rules 
announcing part 71 airspace and Air Traffic Service (ATS) route and 
part 97 standard instrument procedure amendment determinations in the 
Federal Register.
    The FAA remains committed to the plan to retain an optimized 
network of VOR NAVAIDs. The MON will enable pilots to revert from 
Performance Based Navigation (PBN) to conventional navigation for 
approach, terminal and en route operations in the event of a GPS outage 
and supports the NAS transition from VOR-based routes to a more 
efficient PBN structure consistent with NextGen goals and the NAS 
Efficient Streamlined Services Initiative.
    The FAA continues to plan the NAS transition from defining ATS 
routes and instrument procedures using VORs and other conventional 
NAVAIDs \1\ to a point-to-point system based on RNAV and Required 
Navigation Performance (RNP). RNAV will generally be available 
throughout the NAS and RNP will be provided where beneficial. The FAA's 
network of DME NAVAIDs will provide a PBN-capable backup to GPS; 
however, for aircraft without scanning DME receivers (DD) or DD with 
Inertial Reference Unit aiding (DDI) equipment, the FAA will provide a 
conventional navigation backup service based on the proposed VOR MON. 
The VOR MON is designed to enable aircraft, having lost Global 
Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) service, to revert to conventional 
navigation procedures. The VOR MON is further designed to allow 
aircraft to proceed to a MON airport where an ILS or VOR approach 
procedure can be flown without the necessity of GPS, DME, ADF, or 
Surveillance. Of course, any airport with a suitable instrument 
approach may be used for landing, but the VOR MON assures that at least 
one airport will be within 100 NM.

    \1\ Includes Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN), VOR/TACAN 
(VORTAC), VOR/DME, and Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) operated by the 
FAA.
