Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference This document proposes to amend 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.
Background The FAA completed a study in February 2021 on a request to decommission the BCC NDB in Tanana, AK. The FAA determined that the BCC
NDB decommissioning was warranted due to the increased cost and difficulty in maintaining the equipment. The high costs stem from no longer being supported by FAA logistics or the manufacturer. Fabrication of parts for the equipment is time consuming and is not cost effective.
The effects of decommissioning the BCC NDB would be minimal on general aviation, since it does not support any instrument approaches. BCC NDB does, however, support Federal Colored Airway R4, which navigates between Bear Creek and the Chena, AK NDB.
Federal Colored Airway R4s route closely parallels VOR Federal Airways V488 and V531, and United States Area Navigation routes T225 and T229, which should provide pilots an acceptable alternative.
The Proposal The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 to revoke Colored Federal airway R4, due to the decommissioning of BCC NDB. The proposed change is outlined below.
R4: R4 currently navigates between the Chena, AK, NDB and the Bear Creek, AK, NDB. The FAA proposes to revoke the route in its entirety.
Colored Federal airways are published in paragraph 6009b, 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 Colored Federal airway route listed in this document would be subsequently removed from the Order.
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 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 significant as defined in Department of Transportation DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures; 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.
