    The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend 11 VOR Federal airways; remove 10 VOR Federal airways; amend four low altitude RNAV routes (T-routes); establish seven T-routes; amend one high altitude RNAV route (Q-route); and establish one Q-route. The proposed VOR Federal airway changes are described below.

    The names listed in the VOR Federal airway descriptions are the names of the Start Printed Page 5047VOR or VORTAC navigation facilities that form the route. This NPRM proposes changes to some VOR Federal airways having segments in Canadian airspace, and the extension of some Canadian RNAV routes into U.S. airspace. The FAA developed these proposed changes in cooperation with NAV CANADA (Canada's civil air navigation services provider).

    The following section describes proposed VOR Federal airway changes.

    V-2: V-2 extends, in two parts, between Seattle, WA, and Nodine, MN; and between Buffalo, NY, and Gardner, MA. The FAA proposes to remove the sections between Buffalo and Gardner. As amended, the route would extend between Seattle, WA, and Nodine, MN. Additional changes to other portions of the airway have been proposed in a separate NPRM.

    V-3: V-3 extends between Key West, FL, and Quebec, PQ, Canada. The FAA proposes to remove the segments between the intersection of the Boston, MA, 014°, and the Pease, NH, 185° radials, and Houlton, ME. As amended, V-3 would consist of two parts: Between Key West, FL, and Boston, MA; and between Presque Isle, ME, and Quebec, Canada. The airspace within Restricted areas R-2916, R-2934, R-2935, and within Canada is excluded.

    V-14: V-14 extends, in two parts, between Chisum, NM, and Flag City, OH; and between Buffalo, NY, and Norwich, CT. This action proposes to remove the sections between Buffalo and Norwich.

    The following section describes proposed changes to Canadian low altitude RNAV routes.Start Printed Page 5048

    T-608: T-608 is an existing Canadian route that was extended into U.S. airspace in 2014 (79 FR 57758, September 26, 2014). It currently extends between the HOCKE, MI, WP, through Canadian airspace, and ends at the WOZEE, NY, WP. This proposal would extend the route from the WOZEE WP eastward into U.S. airspace to the YANTC, CT, WP. The amended T-608 would overlie VOR Federal airway V-2 between the WOZEE, NY, WP and the Gardner, MA (GDM), VORTAC; and it would overlie V-14 between the Albany, NY (ALB), VORTAC and the YANTC, CT, WP. The YANTC, CT, WP replaces the Norwich, CT (ORW), VOR/DME. The LAMMS, NY, WP replaces the Utica, NY (UCA), VORTAC. As amended, T-608 would extend from the HOCKE, MI, WP, through Canadian airspace, to the WOZEE, NY, WP; and from the WOZEE WP, to the YANCT WP. The order of points listed in the route description is changed to read from “west to east” to comply with formatting requirements.

    T-634: T-634 is an existing Canadian route that the FAA proposes to extend into U.S. airspace. The route currently ends at the VIBRU, Canada, WP (adjacent to the U.S./Canadian border). The VIBRU WP will be moved 0.55NM to the south of its current position to align it with the U.S./Canada border. It will be re-labled as “VIBRU, NY.” The FAA proposes to extend T-634 into U.S. airspace between the Syracuse, NY, VORTAC, and the VIBRU, NY, WP. The extended portion of the route would replace VOR Federal airway V-145 as described above.

    T-662: T-662 is a Canadian route that would be extended into U.S. airspace between the DEPRI, ME, WP, and the HULTN, ME, WP. The HULTN WP would replace the Houlton, ME (HUL) VOR/DME. It is located 60 feet east of the Houlton VOR/DME. T-662 would extend across Maine from the DEPIR WP to the KATAH, ME, WP, to the HULTN, ME, WP. T-662 would replace VOR Federal airway V-352 as described above.

    T-698: T-698 is a Canadian route that would be extended to cross the State of Maine from the EBGIX, ME, WP, to the HULTN, ME, WP, to the ACTON, ME, WP. The EBGIX WP is being moved 1.16NM east to coincide with the U.S./Canada border in western Maine. The ACTON WP is a new point to be added on the U.S./Canada border to the southeast of the Houlton, ME (HUL) VOR/DME.

    T-705: T-705 is an existing Canadian route that was extended into U.S. airspace, between the U.S./Canadian border, and the Utica, NY, VORTAC, in 2018 (83 FR 31855, July 10, 2018). This proposal would extend T-705 further southward to the DANZI, NY, WP (near the Delancey, NY, VOR/DME). The Utica, NY, VORTAC, and the Saranac Lake, NY, VOR/DME would be removed from the route. The new LAMMS, NY, WP would replace the Utica VORTAC, and the new SRACK, NY, WP would replace the Saranac Lake VOR/DME in the route description. The MUTNA, Canada, WP would be moved 0.79NM southward to align with the U.S./Canada border. It would be re-labled as “MUTNA, NY.” As amended, the U.S. portion of T-705 would extend between the DANZI, NY, WP and MUTNA, NY, WP at the U.S./Canadian border.

    T-781: T-781 is a Canadian route that was extended into U.S. airspace in 2014 (79 FR 57758, September 26, 2014). Currently, the U.S. portion of the route extends from the Flint, MI, VORTAC, eastward to the AXOBU, Canada, WP (in the vicinity of the U.S./Canadian border near Port Huron, MI). T-781 then continues eastward across Canada and terminates at the PINTE, Canada Fix (on the U.S./Canadian border). The PINTE Fix would be moved 0.07 NM east to the U.S./Canada border and would be converted to a WP. This proposal would extend T-781 eastward from the PINTE, ME, WP to terminate at the HULTN, ME WP. As amended, the U.S. portion of T-781 would extend between the Flint, MI, VORTAC, and the AXOBU, Canada, Fix; and between the PINTE, ME, WP, and the HULTN, ME, WP.

    The following section describes proposed changes to Canadian high altitude RNAV routes.

    Q-806: Q-806 is a Canadian route that was extended into U.S. airspace in 2014 (79 FR 57758, September 26, 2014). The U.S. portion currently extends from the MEKSO, Canada, WP, eastward through the Millinocket, ME, VOR/DME, to the CANME, ME, WP, and the VOGET, Canada, WP. Canada is realigning Q-806 by shifting the route segment from the MEKSO, Canada, WP, southward to the VINDI, Canada, WP. The VINDI WP would be moved 0.13NM eastward to align with the U.S./Canada border and listed as “VINDI, ME.” Consequently, this proposal would remove the route segment between the MEKSO WP and the Millinocket, ME, VOR/DME, and add the segment between the VINDI, ME, WP, and the Millinocket VOR/DME. The VIGDU, Canada, WP would be moved 0.50NM westward to align with the U.S./Canada border and listed as “VIGDU, ME.” The VIGDU, ME, WP added east of the CANME, ME, WP. As amended, the U.S. portion of Q-806 would extend from the VINDI, ME, WP, eastward to the Millinocket, ME, VOR/DME, to the CANME, ME, WP, to the VIGDU, ME, WP.

    Q-864: Q-864 is an existing Canadian route that the FAA proposes to extend into U.S. airspace across northern Maine. The route currently ends at the EBGIX, Canada, WP (at the U.S./Canadian border in western Maine). This action would extend the route eastward from EBGIX, across the State of Maine, running north of the Millinocket, ME, VOR/DME, to the TUGUB, Canada, WP (located southeast of the Houlton, ME, VOR/DME) where it would rejoin the remainder of Q-864 into Canada. The EBGIX WP would be moved 1.16NM eastward to align with the U.S./Canadian border, and the TUGUB WP would be moved 1.23NM west to align with the U.S./Canada border. The amended Q-864 would extend between the EBGIX, ME, WP, and the TUGUB, ME, WP.

    The proposed full descriptions of the above route changes are found in “The Proposed Amendment” section of this NPRM.

    Domestic VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a); United States area navigation routes are published in paragraph 6011; and Canadian area navigation routes are published in paragraphs 2007, and 6013; respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15, 2020, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The VOR Federal airways and area navigation routes listed in this document would be subsequently published in the Order.

    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is published yearly and effective on September 15.

    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 Start Printed Page 5049number 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.
