SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
The FAA published a NPRM in the Federal Register for Docket No.
FAA-2021-0858 (86 FR 58822; October 25, 2021). The NPRM proposed to
establish RNAV route T-384 in support of a large and comprehensive T-
route modernization project for the state of Alaska. The proposed T-
route would transition the Alaskan enroute navigation structure from
dependency on Non-Directional Beacons (NDBs), move to develop and
improve the RNAV route structure, and offer routing in an
[[Page 66634]]
area where published routes do not exist. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal. No comments were received.
However, when the FAA conducted the associated flight inspection
activities necessary to establish the proposed T-384, the flight
inspection revealed that reliable and continuous two-way VHF
communications are not possible on the route
FAA Conclusions
The FAA has reviewed the project to establish T-384 and determined
that additional communications facilities are necessary to ensure
reliable and continuous two-way VHF communications on the route;
therefore, the NPRM proposing to establish T-384 is withdrawn.
