Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the authority of the FAA Administrator.
Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agencys 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 modifies the route structure as necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the National Airspace System.

History The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA20210042 in the Federal Register 86 FR 12865; March 5, 2021, amending VOR Federal airway V487, in eastern New York and northern Vermont.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were received.
VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010a 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 listed in this document will be subsequently published in the Order.

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 This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by amending VOR Federal airway V487 in the vicinity of Glens Falls, NY, and Burlington, VT. The change substitutes a radial from the Burlington, VT, VOR/
DME, in place of the Glens Falls, NY, VOR/DME radial, that defines the ENSON, VT, navigation fix. Currently, the ENSON, VT, navigation fix is defined by the intersection of the Cambridge, NY, VOR/DME CAM 002
radial, and the Glens Falls, NY, VOR/
DME 032 radial.
This change is necessary because the Glens Falls VOR/DME has been decommissioned and is no longer in service. As amended, the ENSON fix is defined by the intersection of the Burlington, VT, 187, and the Cambridge, NY 002 radials. This change does not affect navigation along that portion of V487.
Additionally, this action removes the segment of V487 that extends between the Burlington, VT, VOR/DME, and the St Jean, Canada VOR/DME due to the decommissioning of the St Jean VOR/
DME. The amended route V487
extends between LaGuardia, NY, and Burlington, VT.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is published yearly and effective on September 15.
Environmental Review The FAA has determined that this airspace action of amending VOR
Federal airway V487 due to the decommissioning of the Glens Falls, NY, VOR/DME, and the decommissioning of the St Jean, Canada, VOR/DME, qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act 42 U.S.C.
4321 et seq. and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, paragraph 56.5a, 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. Accordingly, the FAA has determined that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment or environmental impact study.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses
Adoption of the Amendment
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 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.
In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows:
