SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules 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 would modify the route structure as necessary to
preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the National
Airspace System (NAS).

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites interested persons to participate in this
rulemaking by submitting written comments, data, or views. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal. The most
helpful comments reference a specific segment of the proposal, explain
the reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. To
ensure the docket does not contain duplicate comments, commenters
should submit only one time if comments are filed electronically, or
commenters should send only one copy of written comments if comments
are filed in writing.
    The FAA will file in the docket all comments it receives, as well
as a report summarizing each substantive public contact with FAA
personnel concerning this proposed rulemaking. Before acting on this
proposal, the FAA will consider all comments it receives on or before
the closing date for comments. The FAA will consider comments filed
after the comment period has closed if it is possible to do so without
incurring expense or delay. The FAA may change this proposal in light
of the comments it receives.
    Privacy: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments
from the public to better inform its rulemaking process. DOT posts
these comments, without edit, including any personal information the
commenter provides, to www.regulations.gov, as described in the system

Incorporation by Reference

    Colored Federal airways are published in paragraph 6009 and Alaskan
VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010 of FAA

Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This
document proposes to amend the current version of that order, FAA Order
JO 7400.11H, dated August 11, 2023, and effective September 15, 2023.
These updates would be published in the next update to FAA Order JO
7400.11. That order is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this document.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11H lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

Background

    In 2003, Congress enacted the Vision 100-Century of Aviation
Reauthorization Act (Pub. L. 108-176), which established a joint
planning and development office in the FAA to manage the work related
to the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). Today,
NextGen is an ongoing FAA-led modernization of the nation's air
transportation system to make flying safer, more efficient, and more
predictable.
    In support of NextGen, this proposal is part of an ongoing, large,
and comprehensive T-route modernization project in the state of Alaska.
The project mission statement states: ``To modernize Alaska's Air
Traffic Service route structure using satellite-based navigation
development of new T-routes and optimization of existing T-routes will
enhance safety, increase efficiency and access, and will provide en
route continuity that is not subject to the restrictions associated
with ground-based airway navigation.'' As part of this project, the FAA
evaluated the existing Colored Airway structure for: (a) direct
replacement (i.e., overlay) with a T-route that offers a similar or
lower Minimum En route Altitude (MEA) or Global Navigation Satellite
System (GNSS) MEA; (b) the replacement of the colored airway with a T-
route in an optimized but similar geographic area, while retaining
similar or lower MEA; or (c) removal with no route structure (T-route)
restored in that area because the value was determined to be
insignificant.
    The aviation industry/users have indicated a desire for the FAA to
transition the Alaskan en route navigation structure away from
dependency on NDBs and move to develop and improve the United States
Area Navigation (RNAV) route structure.
    Colored Federal airway A-15 extends between the Ethelda, British
Columbia (BC), Canada, NDB and the Delta Junction, AK, NDB, excluding
the airspace within Canada.
    The decommissioning of the Nichols, Sumner Strait, and Haines NDBs
in Alaska would render the segment of A-15 within U.S. airspace between
the United Sates/Canadian border south of the Nichols NDB and the
United States/Canadian border north of Haines NDB unusable. Mitigations
to the loss of this segment are a combination of conventional airways
and RNAV routes. Alternatives to the segment of A-15 between the United
Sates/Canadian border and the Nichols NDB are nearby V-317 and V-309.
Alternative routing between the Nichols NDB and the United States/
Canadian border north of the Haines NDB, are V-317, T-266, and T-481.
T-266 was developed for routing from the Nichols NDB to the Haines NDB
and T-481 was developed for routing from Haines to the United States/
Canadian border. T-266 and T-481 were developed to provide alternate
routing in this area that avoids mountainous terrain and its associated
weather by following the water channels along the Lynn Canal and
Stephens Passage. This routing adds some mileage to the route but
avoids the higher minimum enroute altitudes (MEA) and the dangers
associated with overflying the mountain terrain.
    The decommissioning of the Nabesna, AK, NDB, would render the
northern segment of A-15 within U.S. airspace between the United
States/Canadian border and the Delta Junction NDB unusable. The loss of
this segment is mitigated by the existence of V-444, T-232, and T-372.
    Alaskan VOR Federal Airway V-428 extends between the Biorka Island,
AK, Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation
(VORTAC) and Whitehorse, Yukon Territory (YT), Canada, VOR/distance
measuring equipment (VOR/DME), excluding the airspace within Canada.
With the decommissioning of the Haines NDB, a segment of V-428 would
become unusable. The FAA is proposing to revoke the segment of V-428
between the Sisters Island, AK, VORTAC and Whitehorse, YT, Canada, VOR/
DME within United States airspace. The loss of this airway is mitigated
by an existing RNAV route, T-481, between the Sisters Island VORTAC and
the Haines NDB, and T-266 between the Haines NDB and the United States/
Canadian border.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to revoke
Colored Federal airway A-15 in its entirety and amend Alaskan VOR
Federal Airway V-428 due to the pending decommissioning of supporting
Navigational Aids (NAVAID).
    Colored Federal airway A-15 extends between the Ethelda, BC,
Canada, NDB and the Delta Junction, AK, NDB, excluding the airspace
within Canada. The FAA proposes to revoke Colored Federal airway A-15
in its entirety.
    Alaskan VOR Federal Airway V-428 extends between the Biorka Island,
AK, VORTAC and the Whitehorse, YT, Canada, VOR/DME, excluding the
airspace within Canada. The FAA is proposing to revoke the segment of
V-428 within U.S. airspace between the Sisters Island, AK, VORTAC and
Whitehorse, YT, Canada, VOR/DME. As amended, V-428 would extend between
the Biorka Island VORTAC and the Sisters Island VORTAC.

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.
