DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2008-0204]

Application by the Massachusetts Department of Highways for a
Preemption Determination on the City of Boston's Hazardous Materials
Routing Designation

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of application for preemption determination,
consolidation with the American Trucking Associations, Inc. (ATA)
application for preemption determination, and extension of time to
submit comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: FMCSA provides notice and invites interested parties to submit
comments on an application by the Massachusetts Department of Highways
(MassHighway) for an administrative determination on whether Federal
law preempts highway routing designations issued by the City of Boston
(Boston) regarding the transportation of hazardous materials.
MassHighway seeks a preemption determination to resolve whether
Boston's regulatory scheme on hazardous materials transportation in
Boston remains consistent with Federal law in light of the history of
the Boston regulation, changes that have occurred since the
regulation's inception in 1980, and policy changes in issuing permits
under the regulation. The MassHighway application, filed on July 25,
2008, encompasses the issues raised by ATA in its application for
preemption determination filed on May 30, 2008. Accordingly, the
MassHighway application will be consolidated with the ATA application
in Docket No. FMCSA-1008-0204 and the time period for submitting
comments is extended by this notice.

DATES: Comments received by October 17, 2008 and rebuttal comments
received by December 1, 2008 will be considered before an
administrative ruling is issued. Rebuttal comments may discuss only
those issues raised by comments received during the initial comment
period and may not discuss new issues.

Background

    Title 49 U.S.C. 5125 includes several preemption provisions.
Section 5125(c)(1) allows a State or Indian tribe to establish,
maintain, or enforce a highway routing designation over which hazardous
material may or may not be transported by motor vehicles, or a
limitation or requirement related to highway routing, only if the
designation, limitation, or requirement complies with 49 U.S.C.
5112(b).
    Section 5112(b) requires the Secretary of Transportation (the
Secretary), in consultation with the States, to prescribe by regulation
standards for the States and Indian tribes to follow when designating
specific highway routes for transportation of hazardous materials. The
Secretary has delegated to the Administrator of the FMCSA authority and
responsibility for highway routing of hazardous materials. See 49 CFR
1.73(d)(2). The standards required by 49 U.S.C. 5112(b) for
establishing highway

routing requirements for non-radioactive hazardous materials are set
forth in 49 CFR part 397, subpart C, and apply to any designations
established or modified on or after November 14, 1994. See 49 CFR
397.69(a). A State or Indian tribe must follow FMCSA standards when
establishing highway routing requirements for hazardous materials. See
49 CFR 397.71 (Federal standards for routing of nonradioactive
hazardous materials (NRHM)). Except as provided in Sec. Sec.  397.75
(dispute resolution) and 397.219 (waiver), a NHRM route designation
made in violation of Sec.  397.69(a) is preempted pursuant to section
105(b)(4) of the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended, 49
U.S.C. 5125(c), 49 CFR 397.69(b).
    MassHighway submits that the Boston regulation on routing of
hazardous materials has been in place since 1980. Subsequent
construction on the Central Artery and Third Harbor Tunnel Project
(often referred to as the ``Big Dig'') impacted the routes used by
transporters of hazardous materials in Boston. After September 11,
2001, Boston changed its policy on issuing permits necessary for
transportation of hazardous materials through Boston. Boston officials
take the position that Boston's regulation is grandfathered under 49
U.S.C. 5125(c)(2)(A) and (B) and that minor routing changes have not
impacted the fact that the regulation is not subject to preemption
under 49 CFR 397.69. Boston also argues that its increased enforcement
and policy on issuing permits falls squarely within its permitting
authority. MassHighway acknowledges that the regulated community argues
that the policy changes are a de facto change in routing restrictions
and hazmat carriers denied permits must now pass through multiple
communities surrounding Boston, increasing and transferring risk to
other communities and depriving the public of involvement in the
routing process. MassHighway requests that FMCSA review the facts,
analysis, and exhibits presented in its application, including the
above-described circumstances, prior DOT Inconsistency and Consistency
Determinations, and a 1981 Federal District Court decision, to
determine whether the Boston regulation and current enforcement scheme
remain grandfathered under Federal law. American Trucking Associations,
Inc. et al. v. city of Boston et al. (D. Mass. filed April 6, 1981)
(Copy of unpublished opinion provided in MassHighway application.)
    On May 30, 2008, ATA filed an Application for Preemption
Determination on the City of Boston's routing and transportation
restrictions applicable to certain hazardous materials. Notice of this
application and request for comments was published in the Federal
Register on August 8, 2008. See 73 FR 46349 (August 8, 2008). The ATA
application and Federal Register notice may be found at http://
www.regulations.gov under non-rulemaking docket no. FMCSA-2008-0204.
ATA alleges that Boston, in the course of the construction of the
Central Artery Tunnel, changed designated hazardous materials routes
through Boston and, in doing so, failed to comply with the requirements
of Sec.  397.71. ATA requested that the FMCSA Administrator make a
determination on whether the highway routing designations established
by Boston are preempted pursuant to Sec.  397.69(b).
    FMCSA received the MassHighway application on or about July 25,
2008. MassHighway addresses the same central issue as that raised in
the ATA application, e.g., whether the Boston hazardous materials
routing designations are subject to the preemption provisions of Sec.
397.69. In order to avoid duplication and address the issues raised in
these applications in a thorough and complete manner, FMCSA is
consolidating the MassHighway application for a preemption
determination with that of the ATA. Copies of the MassHighway
application for preemption and the ATA application for preemption
determination are available for review in the consolidated docket for
this notice. You may view or obtain a copy of the applications online
by visiting http://www.regulations.gov and going to the docket number
for this matter (FMCSA-2008-0204).

Public Comments

    FMCSA seeks comments on (1) whether Boston's highway routing
designations were established or modified prior to November 14, 1994,
exempting them from the preemption provisions of 49 CFR 397.69 and/or
(2) whether Boston's highway routing designations are subject to the
preemption provisions of 397.69. Comments should specifically address
the preemption standard established under 49 CFR 397.69 and 49 U.S.C.
5125(c).

    Issued on: August 26, 2008.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
The Boeing Company Model MD-11 and MD-11F airplanes. This AD was
prompted by report of fuel odor in the cabin. Fuel was found leaking
from a cracked fuel line shroud in the left cargo compartment equipment
tunnel. This AD requires a check for the presence of fuel at the fuel
shroud drain; a high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspection for
cracked fuel line shrouds; a pressure test of the drain system of the
tail tank fuel shroud and a pressure test of the drain system of the
aft fuselage fuel shroud to determine cracking; and corrective actions,
if necessary. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.

DATES: This AD is effective August 21, 2017.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publication listed in this AD as of August 21,
2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain The Boeing Company
Model MD-11 and MD-11F airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on September 29, 2015 (80 FR 58362) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM
was prompted by a report of fuel odor in the cabin. Fuel was found
leaking from a cracked fuel line shroud in the left cargo compartment
equipment tunnel. The NPRM proposed to require a check for the presence
of fuel at the fuel shroud drain; a HFEC inspection for cracked fuel
line shrouds; a pressure test of the drain system of the tail tank fuel
shroud and a pressure test of the drain system of the aft fuselage fuel
shroud to determine if there is cracking; and corrective actions, if
necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct fuel leaking
from a cracked fuel line shroud, which could result in fuel
accumulation below the cargo compartment floor and consequent increased
risk of fire.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and
the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Withdraw the NPRM

    United Parcel Service (UPS) requested that the NPRM be withdrawn
until Boeing has the opportunity to work with affected MD-11 operators
to develop accurate service information. UPS stated that Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin MD11-28A148, dated August 29, 2014, does not provide
adequate guidance on the inspection areas. UPS suggested that we revise
the NPRM to include specific procedures for an HFEC inspection to the
area of the shroud adjacent to the installed internal spacers as well
as the curved areas, provide procedures for airplanes on which a
previous repair has been accomplished in the HFEC inspection area, and
specify that the leak check be done only at the portion of the tail
tank transfer line and the #2 engine fuel feed line shroud drain system
running through the left-hand portion of the aft lower cargo
compartment from approximately airplane station 1501 to 2007.
    We disagree with the commenter's request to withdraw or revise the
NPRM. Since the NPRM was published, Boeing has released new service
information, which corrects certain typographical errors and procedures
in an appendix, includes minor editorial

changes, and addresses all of the commenter's concerns. This AD has
been revised to require accomplishment of all actions in accordance
with the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin
MD11-28A148, Revision 1, dated March 24, 2017. We have also given
credit for Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD11-28A148, dated August 29,
2014, if those actions were performed before the effective date of this
AD.
    We agree with the commenter that cracks and leakage in the shrouds
are predominantly found in sections of the shroud with internal spacers
installed. Since the service information has been revised, Figure 1 of
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD11-28A148, Revision 1, dated March 24,
2017, addresses the inspection areas of concern in the commenter's
request and specifies the areas requiring an HFEC inspection. The
``Note'' in paragraph 3.B., ``Work Instructions,'' of Option 1 of the
Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD11-
28A148, Revision 1, dated March 24, 2017, specifies that the pressure
test is to be done if a shroud has been repaired with doublers. In
addition, the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin MD11-28A148, Revision 1, dated March 24, 2017, reduce the
scope of the leak checks as much as practical, and also include
instructions to disconnect and reconnect as few lines as possible. As
stated previously, we have revised this AD to require accomplishment of
all actions in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD11-28A148, Revision 1, dated March 24,
2017.

Request Clarification for Existing Maintenance Planning Document (MPD)
Functional Check Items

    FedEx noted that functional checks similar to those specified in
the proposed AD are already part of the MD-11 MPD and requested
clarification regarding the more restrictive checks in the proposed AD.
FedEx stated that Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD11-28A148, dated
August 29, 2014, and the proposed AD do not provide instructions on how
to handle the existing MPD functional check items. FedEx stated that
the more restrictive checks in the proposed AD should have been
mandated as a revision to the maintenance or inspection program.
    We agree to provide clarification; however, we do not agree to
delay issuance of this AD to mandate a revision to the manufacturer's
maintenance or inspection program. The more restrictive repetitive
requirements of this AD take precedence over the current MPD since
these actions are necessary to correct the identified unsafe condition.
We have not changed this AD regarding this issue.

Request To Revise Certain Wording in the Proposed AD

    Boeing requested that we revise paragraphs (g)(1)(i) and (g)(2)(i)
of the proposed AD from a check for the presence of fuel at the ``fuel
shroud drain'' to a check at the ``fuel shroud drain valves.'' Boeing
stated that paragraph (g) of the proposed AD specified to check the
fuel shroud drain, whereas Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD11-28A148,
dated August 29, 2014, emphasizes checking all the drain valves where
fuel may accumulate.
    We agree with the commenter's request for the reason provided
above. We have revised paragraphs (g)(1)(i) and (g)(2)(i) of this AD
accordingly, to state ``check for the presence of fuel at the fuel
shroud drain valves.''

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this final rule with the changes described previously and minor
editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final
rule.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD11-28A148, Revision 1,
dated March 24, 2017. The service information describes procedures for
checking for the presence of fuel at the fuel shroud drain valves; a
HFEC inspection for cracked fuel line shrouds; a pressure test of the
drain system of the tail tank fuel shroud and a pressure test of the
drain system of the aft fuselage fuel shroud; and corrective actions.
This service information is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. 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.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701:

``General requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA
with promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by
prescribing regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the
Administrator finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This
regulation is within the scope of that authority because it addresses
an unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on products
identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either complete
its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the Commission's
public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC
20426, a motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the

1 Date: August 25, 2003 Subject: Telephone Conference Summary  EPA and representatives from the taconite industry From: Conrad Chin, EPA To: Docket OAR 2002 0039 I. Purpose EPA and Taconite Industry representatives held a conference call on July 17, 2003 to discuss comments to the proposed MACT Rule. EPA is considering various options in response to comments it received on the proposed rule.

II. Date July 17, 2003 III. Conference Call Participants Conrad Chin EPA Brad Anderson EVTAC Mining LaTisha Gietzen Kewatin Taconite ( formerly National Steel Pellet Company) Martin Hanninen Cliffs Mining Services Company John Meier Cliffs Mining Services Company Rhonda Ross Warner Norcross & Judd LLP Larry Salmela US Steel Minntac Dave Skolasinski Northshore Mining Company Tamra Van Til Madison Consulting LLC IV. Discussion General Taconite industry representatives had requested the conference call to receive an update from EPA on its approach to the proposed rule comments. Industry representatives also wanted to ensure EPA had all of the information it needed to make appropriate decisions regarding revisions to the proposed rule. EPA advised that there were comments from a number of groups on emissions of formaldehyde, acid gases ( hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid), mercury, and fibers. Following are summaries of the major discussion items:

Acid Gases   EPA stated that stack tests were available from six pellet plants. OAR 2002 0039 2   Several of the industry representatives noted that while the stack tests had been conducted, acid gasses had never been a primary focus of EPA, the state environmental agencies, or the industry. As a result, little was known about the operating conditions and other factors that may have influenced the results of the tests. John Meier was concerned that when the stack tests were conducted at the Michigan operations there was a high probability that natural gas was being burned in the pellet furnaces. At the present time coal is the primary fuel in the furnaces. John agreed to look into the fuel issue and provide further information to the EPA.

  It is generally assumed that the wet scrubbers used by most of the pellet plants were responsible for reductions of acid gases emissions. However, the two Michigan plants have dry electrostatic precipitators ( ESPs) on their stacks. The ability of the dry ESPs to reduce acid gas emissions was questioned by the industry. If a wet scrubber had to be added to the ESPs, the industry asserted that economic impact of this would be significant.

  EPA noted that an alternative to establishing a MACT Floor for acid gases at this time would be to correlate acid gas emissions to particulate matter ( PM) emissions and use the PM emissions as a surrogate for acid gas emissions. EPA indicated this would be investigated.

Formaldehyde   Formaldehyde is the product of incomplete combustion of natural gas.

  EPA stated that it intends to require the industry to utilize " Good Combustion Practices" in operating its pellet furnaces to minimize formaldehyde emissions. There is precedent for this in other MACT rules such as the Industrial Boiler MACT. Good Combustion Practices would have to be addressed in each pellet plant's Operations and Maintenance Plan.

Mercury   The primary source of mercury in pellet plant emissions is small amount of mercury present in the ore bodies. Because the mercury content varies among the ore bodies, the amount of mercury emitted varies from one pellet plant to the next.

  The mercury emissions among the plants is highly variable and there is no mercury emission control equipment available to use on the pellet plant stacks.

Fibers   EPA stated that it is updating the IRIS risk number for asbestos.

Concluding Discussion EPA asked that if any of the mines had additional data that would be of help in addressing these four hazardous air pollutants, the information should be brought forward within the next few days to allow EPA to consider it and yet meet its promulgation schedule for the rule.

Proposed Modification and Establishment of Air Traffic Service
(ATS) Routes; Northcentral United States

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action proposes to modify one jet route and five VHF
Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airways, and establish three Area
Navigation (RNAV) T-routes in the northcentral United States. The FAA
is proposing this action due to the planned decommissioning of the
Brainerd, MN (BRD), VHF Omnidirectional Range/Tactical Air Navigation
(VORTAC) navigation aid (NAVAID), which provides navigation guidance
for portions of the ATS routes proposed to be amended by this action.
The T-routes proposed to be established by this action would mitigate
potential issues to the National Airspace System (NAS) route structure
that may be caused by the proposed ATS route amendments. Overall, this
action would enhance the safety and efficient management of aircraft
within the NAS.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective
September 15, 2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

Background

    The FAA originally considered decommissioning activities for the
Brainerd, MN (BRD), VOR would take place in 2019 as one of the
candidate VORs identified for discontinuance by the VOR Minimum
Operating Network (VOR MON) program and listed in the Final policy
statement notice, ``Provision of Navigation Services for the Next
Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) Transition to
Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) (Plan for Establishing a VOR Minimum
Operational Network),'' published in the Federal Register of July 26,
2016 (81 FR 48694), Docket No. FAA-2011-1082. However, the lease for
the property that the VOR is sited on is expiring in September 2017,
and the FAA does not expect the lease to be renewed. As a result, the
ATS routes that use the Brainerd, MN, VORTAC must be amended prior to
the lease expiring. The affected ATS routes are Jet route J-25 and VOR
Federal airways V-55, V-82, V-161, V-218, and V-413.
    With the planned decommissioning of the Brainerd, MN, VORTAC, the
remaining ground-based NAVAID coverage in the area is insufficient to
enable the continuity of the affected airways. As such, proposed
modifications to Jet route J-25 and VOR Federal airways V-55, V-82, V-
161, V-218, and V-413 will result in gaps in the route structures. To
overcome these gaps, the FAA is proposing to establish three new RNAV
T-routes: T-330, T-354, and T-383.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend Jet route J-25 and VOR Federal
airways V-55, V-82, V-161, V-218, and V-413. Additionally, the FAA is
also proposing

to establish RNAV T-Routes T-330, T-354, and T-383. The planned
decommissioning of the Brainerd VORTAC has made these actions
necessary.
    The proposed Jet route and VOR Federal airways changes are outlined
below.
    J-25: J-25 currently extends between the intersection of the United
States/Mexico border and the Brownsville, TX (BRO), VORTAC 221[deg]
radial and the Winnipeg, MB, Canada (YWG), VORTAC. The FAA proposes to
remove the route segment between the Gopher, MN (GEP), VORTAC and the
Winnipeg, MB, Canada (YWG), VORTAC. The unaffected portion of the
existing route would remain as charted.
    V-55: V-55 currently extends between the Dayton, OH (DQN), VOR and
the Bismarck, ND (BIS) VOR. The FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment between the Siren, WI (RZN), VOR and the Park Rapids, MN (PKD),
VOR. The unaffected portions of the existing airway would remain as
charted in the two remaining segments.
    V-82: V-82 currently extends between the Baudette, MN (BDE), VOR
and the Dells, WI (DLL), VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the airway
segment between the intersection of the Baudette, MN (BDE), VOR
194[deg] and Brainerd, MN (BRD), VORTAC 331[deg] radials (the BLUOX
fix) and the Gopher, MN (GEP), VORTAC. Additionally, the BLUOX fix
would be redefined in its existing location using radials from the
Baudette, MN (BDE), VOR and the Park Rapids, MN (PKD) VOR. The
unaffected portions of the existing airway would remain as charted in
the two remaining segments.
    V-161: V-161 currently extends between the Three Rivers, TX (ECA),
VOR and the Winnipeg, MB, Canada (YWG), VORTAC. The FAA proposes to
remove the airway segment between the Gopher, MN (GEP), VORTAC and the
Grand Rapids, MN (GPZ), VOR. Additionally, the airway segment between
the Grand Rapids, MN (GPZ), VOR and the International Falls, MN (INL),
VORTAC would be re-designated as part of V-218. The unaffected portions
of the existing airway would remain as charted in the two remaining
segments.
    V-218: V-218 currently extends between the Grand Rapids, MN (GPZ),
VOR and the Lansing, MI (LAN), VORTAC. The FAA proposes to add the V-
161 airway segment between the Grand Rapids, MN (GPZ), VOR and the
International Falls, MN (INL), VORTAC to V-218. The existing V-218
airway will remain as charted with the addition of the airway segment
from the International Falls, MN (INL), VORTAC to the Grand Rapids, MN
(GPZ), VOR included so the airway segments remain listed in a west to
east order.
    V-413: V-413 currently extends between the Ironwood, MI (IWD),
VORTAC and Brainerd, MN (BRD), VORTAC. The FAA proposes to remove the
airway segment between the Gopher, MN (GEP), VORTAC and the Brainerd,
MN (BRD), VORTAC. The unaffected portion of the existing airway will
remain as charted. Additionally, the airway description for the amended
airway would be reversed to reflect from the Gopher, MN (GEP), VORTAC
to the Ironwood, MI (IWD), VORTAC to list the airway segments in a
south to north order consistent with odd numbered ATS route criteria.
    The proposed RNAV T-routes to be established are outlined below.
    T-330: T-330 would be established from the Grand Forks, MN (GFK),
VOR to the Gopher, MN (GEP), VORTAC. This new RNAV T-route would extend
over two existing fixes (WATAM, MN, and DAYLE, MN) and three new
waypoints (BYZIN, ND; TAMMR, MN; and MAFLN, MN) being established. This
T-route would mitigate the loss of portions of V-55 and V-413 airway
segments as proposed and would provide RNAV T-route capability and
connectivity with a more direct routing between the Grand Forks, ND,
and Minneapolis, MN, terminal areas.
    T-354: T-354 would be established from the Park Rapids, MN (PKD),
VOR to the Siren, WI (RZN), VOR. This new RNAV T-route would extend
over a new waypoint (named BRNRD) that is being established over the
existing location of the Brainerd, MN (BRD), VORTAC. This T-route would
mitigate the loss of the V-55 airway segment proposed to be removed.
    T-383: T-383 would be established from the Gopher, MN (GEP), VORTAC
to the BLUOX, MN, fix that would be redefined in its existing location
using radials from the Baudette, MN (BDE), VOR and the Park Rapids, MN
(PKD), VOR. This new RNAV T-route would also extend over the new
waypoint (BRNRD) that is being established over the existing location
of the Brainerd, MN (BRD), VORTAC. This T-route would mitigate the loss
of the V-82 and V-413 airway segments proposed to be removed.
    All radials in the route descriptions below that do not reflect
True (T)/Magnetic (M) degree radial information are unchanged and
stated in True degrees.
    Jet routes are published in paragraph 2004, VOR Federal airways are
published in paragraph 6010(a), and United States Area Navigation
Routes (low altitude T-routes) are published in paragraph 6011, of FAA
Order 7400.11A dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15, 2016,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Jet routes, VOR
Federal airways, and RNAV T-routes listed in this document would be
subsequently published in the Order.

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.
