Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 45 / Wednesday, March 10, 2021 / Rules and Regulations Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference This document amends FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15, 2020. FAA
Order 7400.11E is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points.
The Rule The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71
by modifying Jet Route J134, RNAV
route Q67, and VOR Federal airways V45 and V119; establishing RNAV
route Q176; and removing Jet Route J
91 and VOR Federal airway V174. The planned decommissioning of the VOR
portion of the Henderson, WV, VORTAC
has made this action necessary.
The Jet Route changes are outlined below.
J91: J91 extends between the Volunteer, TN, VORTAC and the Henderson, WV, VORTAC. The route is removed in its entirety.
J134: J134 extends between the Los Angeles, CA, VORTAC and the Linden, VA, VORTAC. The airway segment overlying the Henderson, WV, VORTAC
between the Falmouth, KY, VOR/DME
and the Linden, VA, VORTAC is removed. The unaffected portions of the existing route remain as charted.
The RNAV route changes are outlined below.
Q67: Q67 extends between the SMTTH, TN, waypoint WP and the DARYN, WV, WP. The route end point is changed from the DARYN, WV, WP
to the Henderson, WV, DME located approximately 1 nautical mile southwest of the DARYN WP, and the number of route points listed in the description are reduced while retaining the route as charted. Additionally, the TONIO, KY, fix, which is being retained in the route description, is changed to reflect the fix as a WP. The route will continue to provide RNAV routing capability from the Knoxville, TN, area northeastward to the Henderson, WV, area.
Q176: Q176 is a new route that extends between the Cimarron, NM, VORTAC and the OTTTO, VA, WP. This RNAV route mitigates the loss of the J
134 route segment between the Falmouth, KY, VOR/DME and the Linden, VA, VORTAC and is a direct overlay of the existing J134.
Additionally, it provides RNAV routing capability from the Cimarron, NM, area eastward to the Front Royal, VA, area.

V45: V45 extends between the New Bern, NC, VOR/DME and the Appleton, OH, VORTAC; and between the Saginaw, MI, VOR/DME and the Sault Ste. Marie, MI, VOR/DME. The airway segment overlying the Henderson, WV, VORTAC between the Charleston, WV, VOR/DME and the Appleton, OH, VORTAC is removed. The unaffected portions of the existing airway remain as charted.
V119: V119 extends between the Henderson, WV, VORTAC and the Indian Head, PA, VORTAC. The airway segment overlying the Henderson, WV, VORTAC between the Henderson, WV, VORTAC and the Parkersburg, WV, VOR/DME is removed. The unaffected portions of the existing airway remain as charted.
V174: V174 extends between the York, KY, VORTAC and the Elkins, WV, VORTAC. The airway is removed in its entirety.

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 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 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 The FAA has determined that this action of modifying Jet Route J134, RNAV route Q67, and VOR Federal airways V45 and V119; establishing RNAV route Q176; and removing Jet Route J91 and VOR Federal airway V
174, due to the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Henderson, WV, VORTAC NAVAID, qualifies for categorical exclusion under

the National Environmental Policy Act 42 U.S.C. 4321et seq 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 result in 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.
