Abstract
This action corrects a final rule published by the FAA in the Federal Register on March 5, 2024, that amended Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airways V-78 and V-171 due to the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Darwin, MN (DWN), VOR/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) navigational aid (NAVAID). In the final rule, the V-171 description inadvertently included the airway segment between the Terre Haute, IN, VORTAC and the Peotone, IL, VORTAC, in error. That airway segment was removed from V-171, effective January 25, 2024, in a separate docket action when the VOR portion of the Danville, IL, VORTAC was decommissioned. This action corrects that error.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action corrects a final rule published by the FAA in the
Federal Register on March 5, 2024, that amended Very High Frequency
Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airways V-78 and V-171 due to the
planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Darwin, MN (DWN),
VOR/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) navigational aid (NAVAID). In the
final rule, the V-171 description inadvertently included the airway
segment between the Terre Haute, IN, VORTAC and the Peotone, IL,
VORTAC, in error. That airway segment was removed from V-171, effective
January 25, 2024, in a separate docket action when the VOR portion of
the Danville, IL, VORTAC was decommissioned. This action corrects that
error.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
The FAA published a final rule for Docket No. FAA-2023-1735 in the
Federal Register (89 FR 15738; March 5, 2024) amending VOR Federal
Airways V-78 and V-171 due to the planned decommissioning of the VOR
portion of the Darwin, MN, VORTAC NAVAID. Prior to publication of that
rule, the FAA had published a rule for Docket No. FAA-2023-1026 in the
Federal Register (88 FR 75484; November 3, 2023) amending V-171 by
removing the airway segment between the Terra Haute, IN, VORTAC and the
Peotone, IL, VORTAC due to the VOR portion of the Danville, IL, VORTAC
being
[[Page 27653]]
decommissioned. The V-171 airway amendment in Docket No. FAA-2023-1026
was inadvertently included in the final rule for Docket No. FAA-2023-
1735. The correct V-171 description extends between the Lexington, KY,
VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) and the Terre Haute, IN,
VORTAC; between the Peotone, IL, VORTAC and the Joliet, IL, VOR/DME;
between the Nodine, MN, VORTAC and the Farmington, MN, VORTAC; and
between the Alexandria, MN, VOR/DME and the Grand Forks, ND, VOR/DME.
This rule corrects the V-171 description in the regulatory text section
of the Docket No. FAA-2023-1735 final rule.
This action does not alter the alignment of the amended V-78 or V-
171 beyond the removal of the airway segment in V-171 between the Terra
Haute, IN, VORTAC and the Peotone, IL, VORTAC which was included, in
error, in the final rule.
Correction to Final Rule
Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the V-171
airway description in the regulatory text section of the rule in Docket
No. FAA-2023-1735, as published in the Federal Register of March 5,
2024 (89 FR 15738), FR Doc. 2024-04611, is corrected as follows:
0
1. In FR Doc. 2024-04611, appearing on page 15740, in the first column,
replace the V-171 airway description in the regulatory text section of
the rule to read,
V-171 [Amended]
From Lexington, KY; INT Lexington 251[deg] and Louisville, KY,
114[deg] radials; Louisville; to Terre Haute, IN. From Peotone, IL;
INT Peotone 281[deg] and Joliet, IL, 173[deg] radials; to Joliet.
From Nodine, MN; INT Nodine 298[deg] and Farmington, MN, 124[deg]
radials; to Farmington. From Alexandria, MN; INT Alexandria 321[deg]

Issued in Washington, DC, on April 12, 2024.
