The Rule This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by modifying VOR Federal airway V541
and removing V49, in the vicinity of Decatur, AL, due to the planned decommissioning of the Decatur, AL, VOR/DME as part of the FAA VOR
Minimum Operation Network program.
The route changes are described below.
V49: V49 currently extends from the Vulcan, AL, VORTAC to the Nashville, TN, VORTAC. The airway is removed in its entirety.
V541: V541 currently extends from the Gadsden, AL, VOR/DME to the Muscle Shoals, AL, VORTAC. The FAA
straightens V541 from the Gadsden VOR to the EDDIE intersection and removes the portion from the EDDIE
intersection INT Gadsden 318 T/316
M and Vulcan, AL, 029 T/027M
radials to the Muscle Shoals VORTAC.
This eliminates the dogleg that currently exists at AWPOJ, which is a Computer Notification Fix.
Note: In the V541 description, both True T and Magnetic M degrees are stated

because new radials are being used in the legal description EDDIE intersection to replace AWPOJ intersection INT Gadsden 318 and Decatur, AL, 130 radials.

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 action 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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review The FAA has determined that this action of modifying VOR Federal airway V541 and removing V49, in the vicinity of Decatur, AL, qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts:
Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5
6.5a, which categorically excludes from further environmental impact review rulemaking actions that designate or modify classes of airspace areas, airways, routes, and reporting points see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas;
Air Traffic Service Routes; and Reporting Points. As such, this action is not expected to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts. In accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 52 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed this action for factors and circumstances in which a normally categorically excluded action may have a significant environmental impact requiring further analysis. The FAA has determined that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment or environmental impact study.
