Abstract

The FAA is withdrawing the NPRM published in the Federal Register on September 4, 2020, proposing to amend VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airway V-456 which would serve as an alternative to the Colored Federal airway Green-11 (G-11). Subsequent to the NPRM, the FAA determined during a flight check inspection that the desired altitudes along the proposed route amendment for V-456 did not meet the expected criteria and determined that the withdrawal of the proposed rule is warranted.

altitudes along the proposed route amendment for V-456 did not meet the 
expected criteria and determined that the withdrawal of the proposed 
rule is warranted.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The FAA published a NPRM in the Federal Register for Docket No. 
FAA-2020-0651 (85 FR 55200; September 4, 2020). The NPRM proposed to 
amend the VOR Federal airway V-456 and serve as an alternative to the 
Colored Federal airway G-11. G-11 obtained navigation guidance from the 
Glennallen, AK (GLA), Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) navigation aid 
(NAVAID) which was pending decommissioning. Subsequent to the NPRM, the 
FAA published a Final Rule in the Federal Register (85 FR 59668; 
September 23, 2020) removing G-11. Also subsequent to the NPRM, the FAA 
determined during a flight check inspection that the desired altitudes 
along the proposed route amendment for V-456 did not meet the expected 
criteria. Since the proposed new routing for V-456 offers no advantage 
to the present routing of the airway, the V-456 amendment will no 
longer be pursued.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. No comments were 
received.

FAA Conclusions

    The FAA has determined during a flight check inspection that the 
desired altitudes along the proposed route amendment for V-456 did not 
meet the expected criteria. Since the proposed new routing for V-456 
offers no advantage to the present routing of the airway, the V-456 
amendment will no longer be pursued.
