DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 93-AGL-2]
Proposed Alteration VOR Federal Airways
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action withdraws the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)
published in the Federal Register on October 15, 1993. The NPRM
proposed to alter the descriptions of VOR Federal Airways V-7, V-51, V-
97, and V-399, respectively, by reducing the standard width of these
airways. The FAA has determined that withdrawal of the proposal at this
time is warranted because a change in air traffic control (ATC)
procedures would alleviate the need to alter these airways.
DATES: This withdrawal is effective January 12, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 15, 1993, a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking was published in the Federal Register to amend 14 CFR part
71 of the Federal Aviation Regulations to alter the descriptions of V-
7, V-51, V-97, and V-399, respectively, by reducing the standard width
of these airways located in the states of Indiana and Illinois (58 FR
53459). This action was proposed to redefine the lateral boundaries of
the airways to provide for more efficient utilization of the airspace.
No comments were received on the proposal.
The FAA has decided to withdraw the proposal at this time to
provide an opportunity to reexamine the operations effecting these
airways in the Lafayette Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) and Chicago
Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) areas. This proposal was
initiated to simplify air traffic operations and to provide for more
efficient utilization of that airspace. The FAA has determined that
changing the ATC procedures and delegating to Chicago ARTCC the control
responsibility previously handled by Lafayette ATCT would alleviate the
need to alter these airways.
